this great mobile phone is the first windows based phone being sold here, so when are we going to see the first os x based phone?

another question: does this phone sync with my mac? do you think microsoft built it to work only with windows?

I don't think we will ever see an OSX phone.

The Sony Ericsson T800 is a much better phone then that orange one anyway.

The Orange SPV is a operator sold mobile phone. Will it be successful! I donīt think so. People want to choose phone after budget and style and to offer just one phonemodel will not succeed. Nokia has 15-20 different models most other major phonemakers have 4-10 different models targeted to different users and needs + Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens and Motorola also makes the GSM network technology and have a greater influence to it standard and implemention.
Microsoft and itīs cellular parters are so few and the volymes are to low to effectivly compete on a market that are far more diffucult than the Console market.
