    reading the FT article gates was referring to their position in the market - don't see how they could be anywhere else except behind at the moment as they haven't any devices shipping - and nokia are no. one?

    i'd be more interested to see how the devices fair once they start shipping

    unfortunately the article tried to get so many kicks in it lost itself, which is a pity as the guy did manage to make two good points (integrated Bluetooth and Camera) - pity they were buried in the anti-MS tirade

    had three models of the MS smartphones demoed over the last two days and they impressed me - the lack of integrated bluetooth was an issue though - but the BT SDIO option might workout

    I'd swap my 7650 for one (The Orange SPV) - although the P800 would still win it for me the moment

    InfoSync got a pre-release Orange SPV handset so they have a "preview review" :) with screenshots and usability comments:
