Hot on the heels of the T-Mobile MDA Pro is the SPV M5000 from Orange.

If you’re thinking it looks similar to the MDA Pro, you’re right – it’s the exact same handset. The only difference is the Orange logo and, of course, requirement for an Orange contract.

Featuring a flip-and-twist display, the 3G SPV M5000 runs Windows Mobile 5, giving you access to cut-down versions of software such as Excel, Word and Outlook.

With this Orange model you also get full access to the Orange World portal, which gives you up-to-date news, sports results, games and more.

Some people will find the SPV M5000 too big to use as a normal mobile phone, but there’s no getting away from its huge range of features and usability.
