does anyone know if the life of the battery is acceptable now? I had the very first SPV when I worked for Orange but that and the reception where it's biggest flaws...I know there's been other models since but I didn't have the opportunity to use them....

any idea of price? and what do you think this phone is a rival for? Is it a rival for the k700? There are plenty of phones coming out 3/4Q this year with decent screens/memory card/camera so is this SPV going to be a hit? i personally quite like it, but we'll see when it hits the shops...

BBC News story for Stuff Magazine's top Christmas Gadgets.
Topping the chart is (rather unsurprisingly) the iPod, however the Orange SPV C500 is in the list too, which is well deserved. You can buy Stuff Magazine from any newsagent - just look for the magazine with the semi-naked girl surrounded by a collection of gadgets.. WOaH! Not those gadgets.. No, let's not go there...
