"At the World Handset Forum in Amsterdam today, Orange has announced the SPV C500: the latest addition to its line-up of smartphones based on Windows Mobile software. Claiming the C500 to be the world's smallest smartphone, the pan-European mobile network operator introduced the handset as part of its new line-up of Orange Signature phones, which all offer quick access to operator services. The SPV C500 weighs in at a mere 100 grams and measures a compact 10.8 x 4.6 x 1. 6 cm, yet offers a 16-bit colour display and several advanced connectivity options including Infrared, USB, Bluetooth and even a miniSD Card expansion slot. A whopping 64 MB of RAM is included, although it is not known how much of this will be available to users."



The GSM based phone will support 900/1800/1900 MHz, and GPRS. It will run Windows Mobile for Smartphone Second Edition and come with "Orange Over-The-Air Backup Solution", the Packet Video Player, and Orange Update which will allow users to download new applications, ringtones, maps and games.

The second page of the InfoSync article has a nice high-res picture if you're interested. GeekZone also has a story up with a great picture showing how small this phone really is. Check it out here. It's great to see more hardware becoming available. Especially smaller and lighter models. Very Happy

Hmm, sounds like a good way to blow through your data plan pretty quick. Razz

Looks like a great competitor to the MPx100 though. Here's hoping it makes its way to North America.
