"IT MAY look like a mobile telephone, but the Orange SPV, launched last month, is much more than that. With its colour screen, garish icons and musical ringtones, it resembles other handsets on the market. But it has one far more significant feature: the software inside, indicated by a familiar-looking four-coloured logo on its screen. For the SPV is the first “Windows-powered smartphone”—in other words, it runs software from Microsoft. It is the software giant's attempt to stake its claim in the new market created by the convergence of mobile phones and computers. It is no less than a declaration of war." | ||

| Eagle, do you really thing your comments are going to persuade anyone to adopt your view? Even Microsoft doesn't agree completely with your baseless claims. |

# 2 -- The Orange SPV is not a Sendo phone. It is made by HTC (makers of the Compaq iPaq PocketPC), and it is already available in Europe through Orange PCS. Sendo has no MS Smartphone on the market, and they were not the only partner set to produce the Smartphone. In addition to HTC, there is also Compal, Mitsubishi, and Samsung Electronics.
