Orange E650 (HTC Vox) Launched by Orange UK


Orange E650 (HTC Vox) Launched by Orange UK

Postby Chris Edwards » Apr 12, 2007 @ 8:30pm

"Orange Business Services today launches the first Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0-powered smartphone on the UK market. Available exclusively from Orange until the beginning of May, the compact SPV E650 combines powerful functionality with sleek design and the ability to connect with Wi-Fi, EDGE and GPRS networks, making mobile messaging easier than ever before."<br /><br />I'm very excited to get my hands on one of these devices. I like the idea of having a pull out keyboard, yet maintaining the size of the previous candy-bar style phones that HTC has released.

There are some older photos on Engadget comparing the HTC Vox (E650) and the HTC Excalibur.

I just got this phone as well. In a word, its awesome. It's got the great form factor, one handed operation and the slide out keyboard. I also have the T-Mobile MDA and I never liked using it because of it's bulk, fragile screen and having to use the stylus to dial. For me, the HTC Vox is the best Windows Mobile phone ever.
