Description
We have to admit the Orange SPV E610 has certainly been an interesting product to review, primarily due to the devices unknown origins. But after a lot of digging we have all the specs and images for you to lay your eyes on and the device should prove more than useful for basic emailing on the fly.
Box Content
Inside the Orange PAYG box we got a pair of headphones, a comprehensive manual, USB cable, CD with an older version of Active Sync, a mains charger and though not listed on the Orange website now, there was a mention that it will come with a microSD expansion card, but we would not count on it.

Design
As the device costs £99 + your £10 Top-up payment you should not expect a cutting edge design, but in fairness the re-branded Amoi 6711 does have several features that we liked.
For a start the exterior is coated in a lovely rubberised finish, which ensures that the device won't slip from your hands in operation and the light weight/relatively small profile enabled us to type easily using one hand.
The 2.5" screen was vibrant and the keys beneath the screen - for the most part - were responsive. As for the Qwerty keyboard you will find the keys are a touch plasticky, but were spaced apart and slightly angled, which enabled us to type emails or texts without a problem.
To the left you have a handy jog wheel which we could use to navigate around the WM5 interface and though the latter is a disappointed, Orange have done a good job of adding a custom theme which runs throughout the core interface.
Moving on to the right side you will find a shortcut button to your music player, your mini USB port (which is found under a protective cover) and your camera shortcut button.
At the back you will find your camera lens, alongside the flash and self-portrait mirror. Removing the back cover is required to get to your microSD slot (which is positioned just above your sim card) and though this sounds like an easy task, the cover was more difficult to remove than it could have been.
