Orange SPV M2000 vs Orange SPV M500- Which is better?

Was about to purchase a new phone, came across these two PDA'a and was confused as to which is should get. The 500 has a better camera, but the 2000 has a keyboard and wi-fi capability. the 2000 also costs quite abit more, im not a businessman....Just wanted something different. Would be greatful if anyone here could guide me to the right one. Cheers

check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/front_page.php for more info on bith models.

But in brief the camera is pretty average on both models, in addition I think you'll find the keyboard is more of a gimmick really on the M2000.

I've had an XDA2s (same as M2000) for about six months now, it is a fantastic device and really can do everything, however if I was buying again I'd go for the smaller M500

Hi Chaps
I recently acquired the M500 - I still have an M2000 and to be honest I really prefer the m500 for its size. The 64mb memory can be an issue if you load a few apps etc but it so much more convenient.
I do not miss the keyboard or the WiFi - its a cool smart phone really.

Get the MS Voice Command though! an outstanding addition, which makes the device so much easier to use especially in the car that screen can be troublesome to use being smaller.

Hope this helps.
