The new Windows Mobile 5.0 powered SPV M5000 communicator from Orange boasts a VGA resolution screen, 3G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, SDIO expansion and an integrated thumbboard.

Hot on the heels of mobile network competitors T-Mobile and O2, Orange has launched the Windows Mobile 5.0 powered SPV M5000 communicator. A carbon copy of the T-Mobile MDA Pro and O2 XDA Exec, the SPV M5000 is a palmtop communicator featuring a formidable set of features, among them an Orange-first courtesy of 3G; an integrated thumbboard; high-resolution screen; and much more.

Resplendent with features, the Orange SPV M5000 measures in at a considerable 128 x 81 x 25 mm and 285 g with a clamshell form factor which opens to allow access to its thumbboard and 65K colour display with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The device can be used in either palmtop or tablet configurations, as the screen half swivels 180 degrees and closes to cover the thumbboard.

Powered by a 520 MHz PXA270 processor, the M5000 integrates an array of connectivity options including tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz; one band less than its quad-band predecessor, the MDA III, but compensates by adding support for WCDMA 2100 MHz - or 3G, as it is less cryptically dubbed. GPRS Class 10 is also present, as is Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11b, Infrared and USB 2.0. Also present is an SDIO capable SD/MMC card expansion slot.

Other highlights include dual cameras for 3G video calls, one of which is front-mounted and bears a resolution of 0.3 MP, whilst its back-mounted counterpart boasts a resolution of 1.3 MP. Billed as a laptop replacement device, the SPV M5000 weighs in at 285 g and is equipped with an exchangeable 1620 mAh Lithium Ion battery claiming up to 260 hours of standby time and up to 8 hours of talk time.

To be available from Orange in the UK, France and Switzerland this October, the M5000 will sell for £400 GBP or €600 EUR with service agreement. Other markets in which Orange have staked a presence will also see the introduction of the device by year's end, according to the operator.
