Review: Orange SPV - Microsoft Smartphone 2002 Stinger 'Canary' by HTC

Jørgen Sundgot reviews it and the device sounds pretty impressive and I'm glad I have MSFT in my wireless basket along with NOK & QCOM:

One thing in the review particularly caught my eye:

Whilst on the topic of OTA capabilities; it's also possible to update both the operating system and the radio stack of the phone wirelessly by means of Action Engine's software, so any patches or updates for the SPV can in theory be downloaded and installed without ever connecting it to a PC.

As I've commented before that capability has been the Holy Grail of OTA capabilities and it is a potentially killer capability.

Long talked about. Never implemented.

Also as mentioned before Nokia Ventures is backing a Mountain View, CA (Nokia neighbor) firm called Bitfone that claims this capability.
