Comments on: Comparing SPV & SPV2 (E200) http://www.simonperry.org/comparing-spv-spv2-e200/ The possible, the do-able and the irrelevant Tue, 07 Oct 2008 08:27:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Jay247 http://www.simonperry.org/comparing-spv-spv2-e200/#comment-3888 Tue, 16 Mar 2004 23:24:16 +0000 http://www.simonperry.org/comparing-spv-spv2-e200/#comment-3888 You are indeed WELL OFF not to buy the E200. It might be an improvement over the two earlier versions, and it might also be "more" than just a phone. But the truth is, the SPV E200 is far removed from reality. The battery life makes it impossible to use this device for an entire busniess day away from the charger. It makes it to about 12 hours standby, when you're going easy on phone calls that is! I feel nostalgically reminded of my first ever Nokia 2110-- that must be around 10 years ago now. At least back then they had bigger optional batteries. Another major let-down is the speech quality: muffled/crackled sound in the earpiece make it almost impossible to understand the caller. With these two vital components being comprimised, the SPV is a device for gadget nerds rather than a serious business tool. It is however a handy little thing for checking emails, listening to MP3s, be reminded of your outlook appointments, gaming and so forth. There's vast amounts of software available, and if you have regular access to a PC or charger during the day, this phone is for you: you can access all your outlook contacts, calender entries and emails on the move. However, if you want a mobile phone for a long busniess day rather than a desktop extension, or when you're looking for a serious PDA/phone combination-- forget the SPV E200.
