My Precious: Orange SPV C500

Woo Hoo! I finally got my new SmartPhone! It is a Orange SPV C500 (aka Audiovox SMT5600, iMate SP3, Qtek 8010, HTC Typhoon). The first impression is that it is small! Amazingly small for a smart phone. It is powered by Windows Mobile 2003. So it has .Net built in. Plus Orange also bundles a Java VM in it. Cool now I can program for it. :-) I will write more about the phone as I use it more.

I was looking for some accessories for the phone. I was looking at UK sites and all the cost was in a strange currency called Pounds. ;-) So I quickly put together my first SmartPhone application in .Net CF for converting GBP to Euros. Here it is. :-)

My first SmartPhone application

It uses web services to get the rates. It is amazingly easy to develop, test and deploy with Visual Studio.Net.
