One quick question.

I leave home at 8:30 am every day and get home at 1am (long day i know) will the battery last this period? Roughly 16 hours. I only make about 10mins of calls per day, send about 20 texts and use the phone for about 30mins for non radio stuff.

thanks for any help,
tom

Wow - very informative! Like "pierre" said, the deal HTC struck with IA was brilliant - all those programs just make the E-200 a must have phone ! i also like the idea of the "orange help" which you said is hidden away somewhere, maybe they should have just provided a link to MoDaCo lol

All in all this review has clinched it for me and I am "chapping at the bit" to get my E-200. Inbuilt camera, bluetooth and an improved OS is just what the SPV needed, and now we have it

Cheers again for the review Paul,

I would have thoughts so, if 1.6 lasts that period!

Nice... Thanks Paul... I can't wait until it is easily SIM unlockable so I can get one for over here in the US!!

I'm waiting to see if they really will release it on pay as you go for £280. That would be quite sweet. Anyone know if you can get Orange care £5/month) on a pay as you go handset?

thanks for this, I would like to know if the camera's refresh rate (or whatever it is called when you are using the viewfinder) any better since it was shocking on the original spv.

It's silky smooth ;-)

You guys don't need to wait for a Sim-unlocker that might never exist... just buy a Qtek 8080 when it comes out (soon I guess, right?).

[SeaneyC]

I want to hear your cheesy midi ringtone!

[spark-x]

But the Qtek will probably cost arround £400 vs. SPV £280 on pay as you go.. I think thats right anyway... + an unlock will be found :-) -- i'm sure!!

Thanks again Paul. Sounds great and confirms my decision

Already ordered my new E200 from onestopphoneshop.com last week even though my Original SPV + contract is only 11months old. Couldn't wait!

I'm paying £35 for the handset + £30 a month for 200 cross network minutes. Unfortunately though this means a new contract with a new mobile number

Does anyone know when the internet supplier's are gonna start shipping? The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned!

Hi Paul

Great review

With Caller ID built in does this allow for custom ringtones on SD by default ? Also do you know if there is still a problem with the contact search (with large database) during an incoming call and the resulting non use of the caller name and ringtone ?

I believe it is still at £50 per year (which is cheaper than £5 per month).

If existing accessories work with the E200, then what happens if you plug in an SPV camera?

[Dumdidum]

Nothing - because there is no driver in it...!

Paul - I take it we can use standard 2002 home screens if we wish? Not too keen on the new version.

[kevlar]

I'm dissapointed media player hasn't had an overhaul, with no fast forward/rewind. God knows we all complained enough about this. Oh well, the divx player will be getting installed again.

[PaulOBrien]

Old homescreens work fine.

If you plug the old camera in, nothing happens, I tried it, lol ;-)

Can the new Media player play divx, xvid and other codecs?
What about fullscreen?

[Dumdidum]

No divx, svid, no fullscreen, no playlist! only new thing is support for windows media 9!

No it won't play divx and xvid.

No full screen option either.


Although a few other players are available for the phone that will do these.
