Er schijnen nogal wat problemen/issues te zijn met de UK versie van de SPV-E200, zie:

Misschien dat de NL versie wat beter is, maar ik kijk eerst toch liever de kat uit de boom...
Het gaat (onder andere) om:
Here are problems or issues that Orange SPV E200 has:
- Huge price compared to MPx200, examples:
- E200 is 199 UK Pounds, on same tariff MPx200 is 25!
- MPx200 is FREE, on same tariff E200 is 150 pounds!
- Bluetooth hammers the battery flat - discoverable mode kills it in less than a day
- GPRS timed disconnect doesn´t work (it just stays on),
- MSN Messenger doesn´t work in France
- UK version has a load of strange shortcuts to what looks like debug applications, there is also a shortcut missing to IA Space Maker
- Orange shops aren´t giving people there extra SD cards (with extra content that was promised by Orange)
- The locking is still constricting for home screens (i.e. not all homescreens can be installed in E200)
- Orange Help is hidden away on the second level of the start menu - lots of people returned old models of SPV because it was too complicated - with such hiding, things are not getting any better
- Yes, certainly E200 has built-in camera but picture quality is poorer, than the SPV/E100 snap on camera, and the video has a very low frame rate
- Since Orange SPV E200 has a slow processor (132 MHz unlike 200 MHz in MiTAC for example), ability to fix some of above problems by software updates may be very limited (if possible at all)
- Very small number of Bluetooth profiles in E200: only Bluetooth headset profile and Bluetooth dial-up profile
- Bluetooth dial-up profile is one-sided: it means you can connect your PC or Pocket PC to Internet with E200 but you cannot connect E200 to Internet the other way around - for example by using another cell phone; it denies the thesis that Smartphone is a combination of PDA and cell phone
- ActiveSync over Bluetooth is not reliable and easy - you may experience problems with some USB Bluetooth dongles; ActiveSync over Bluetooth connection is not stable - it dies quickly
So before rushing to buy Orange SPV E200 just contemplate points above, because in reality the stylish Motorola MPx200 may be better choice of you...
