The seller on E-bay has no previous record, and the phone is not possible to unlock -guess I'll pass from bidding.

I have read several articles about the SPV in norwegian medias and one of the main issues, is that it's not gonna be available in Norway, because Orange doesn't have a GSM-net here. The phone uses the Microsoft-Stinger platform, but the phone and OS is specially made for Orange.
This article(in norwegian) says that the reason that the SPV can't be unlocked for use in norwegian networks, is that the phone is hardware-locked -not SIM-locked as most other phones.

this makes perfect sense, despite the fact that i can't read the article... but i could see that there was a price posted in norwegian kornas, so i assume they do sell it there, right??? and more over, i realize it can't be unlocked completely since there are some functions on that phone that have orange specidic applications like orange back up and stuff like that, so i know i won't be able to use those, but what about main functionality: calling? can that phone be unlocked to make phone calls and wap around or something??? otherwise with it being tri-band it just does not make sense, there is no orange in north america... i mean is there any way to confirm that, i really want the phone but i won't pay 500 bucks for something useless... please advise. thanx.

The phone will not be sold in the norwegian market. The price was about a similar phone with Microsoft OS(not Orange SPV) that is soon to be released in Norway and Denmark.
About the phone being Tri-band. This means that an european Orange SPV user can bring his phone to USA and use the phone in the networks there through roaming. He uses his Orange SIM-card and borrows network-lines from the american operators. This is very common in europe. Whenever I go to another european country, I use my own SIM-card but change operator(actually the phone does this on it's own). The charges comes as extra-charge on my regular bill.
Actually I would like to be wrong about the hardware-lock because I would like to buy a SPV myself
, but I have read this in at least 3 different mobile-magazines.
