France Telecom owned Orange is prepping to boost its business-centric offering with yet another Windows Mobile 6 Standard edition based and full QWERTY keyboard equipped smartphone – SPV E610. The new device is actually called Amoi 6711, and is everything but a hot news, hence we’ve already seen it passing the FCC filings and heading over to AT&T as SMT5700. However, it’s interesting that Orange haven’t picked up some 3G-enabled version of the Amoi 6711. After all, most of their networks in the major metro areas — if not all of them — are 3G enabled. Guess, iPhone kinda pushed us back to EDGE. Or that’s just pretty much enough speed for push-email and syncing services, business users are requiring. And let’s not forget the 2 MP camera that is kinda “good enough” for the fellow businesses. We’re not sure about the release date nor pricing, but I guess existing Orange subscribers with solid track record will get this business baby for next to nothing.
