Windows cell Smartphones offer the familiar look of Windows coupled with the capability to sync your contacts, to dos and calendar, access email on the move and run third-party software. When operators take these handsets, they add their own specialities, which in Orange’s occurrence income over-the-air backup, ringtones and access to Orange’s Web-based services.
Although Orange has jumped on the melody phone bandwagon with the SPV C550, it additionally has other things we’ve not seen in a Windows cell Smartphone earlier. The chief finish equal of this handset is with the aim of it updates a platform that’s been around representing a while.
The SPV C550 is just to be had from Orange and prices start from complimentary with a £25-per-month contract.
Design
The SPV C550 is a small and light handset. It feels very comfortable in the distribute and fits nicely into a bag. Its silver front and back are bisected by a black stripe all around the bitterness.
About partly of the front of the casing is occupied by the screen, and a third by the numberpad area. In-between is a section containing rebuff excluding than eight buttons, four of which are devoted to melody management.
The other four buttons in this section sit without delay beneath the screen and are completely tiny. The outer two are softkeys; the inner two take you to the Today screen and enactment as a back button. Though very small, we found these buttons remarkably comfortable to bump into.
The numberpad itself is additionally practically small, but both of the buttons is bevelled, again making them comfortable to retrieve. Above the top row sit the Call and End buttons with, concerning them, a mini direction control. You operate this representing directional movement and, by burning it, to privileged. It feels comfortable under the thumb.
The completely margin has a button which activates the built-in camera — the lens and self-portrait mirror are on the back of the casing. The gone margin houses a button whose function users can resolved, and a rocker with several jobs. When you are on a call, it adjusts volume, while a long press of its top conclusion launches the built-in Voice Notes software, and a long press of its substructure conclusion launches the built-in Voice Tag software. You can operate this to resolved up voice-activated shortcuts to phone records, email addresses or Web pages with the aim of are saved in the built in Contacts software.
On the top bitterness of the SPV C550 are the power switch and infrared ports. The substructure bitterness provides the headphones connector and synchronisation/mains power socket — a mini-USB type. Both are protected by a single rubber cover.
All in all, the ergonomics of this handset are in this area neat, tidy usability. If you are at present a user of the SPV C550′s predecessor, the SPV C500, next the direction control will be a regard plus-point in excess of with the aim of handset’s lozenge-shaped navigate-and-select fundamental.
