From: "Randy" 

My device is the Audiovox SMT 5600-over on your side of the planet it's
known as the Orange SPV C500. It replaced my recently lost Motorola MPx220.

Even though both are based on WM2300SE, the HTC implementation seem to be
less buggy than the Motorola. I miss the flip factor and having easy access
to the miniSD slot (the HTC buries it under the battery), but I gain
Bluetooth voice dailing (which the Moto does not do, although the Moto does
implement speaker-independent voice dialing)
