With the launch of the new model SPV M3100 Orange mobile phone has gone steps ahead in the mobile phone market. Thanks to the sophisticated style, color and advanced features. The SPV M3100 model mobile phone coming in black and silver finish definitely works well and despite looking relatively obese compared to the plethora of anorexic, ultra-slim handsets on the market. This model is quite stylish and modern. With a weight of 178g including SIM, battery and memory card, this new model from Orange may not be too light weighted according to the market trends, but of course, it isn’t heavy compared to most Windows Mobile devices either.

The model has a plethora of buttons all over the M3100 model mobile phone, but still it doesn’t look cluttered. There exists a four way navigation pad with a button at the center below the 240 x 320 screen. The navigation pad carries different buttons on both sides namely Call and End buttons, an OK button and a Windows button. There also is an interesting addition which is a dedicated video call button that makes the differentiation from voice calls much easier. There exists a couple more buttons above the screen which is launched by the email client, while the other launches the web browser. And in the end, at the top right of the front fascia exists a small camera for the purpose of video calling.

On the base of the unit there exists an IrDA port, in case you’ve still got hardware that uses it. Next to the IrDA port is a mini-USB port that helps in charging and syncing. Interestingly, the bundled hands-free set also uses the mini-USB port. It brings with it a couple of issues like preventing from the use of headphones while listening to music. There are also problems like not being able to hear music while the M3100 is getting charged.
