Those whining about the lack of 3g should just invest in the next model up the Orbit II as it has 3G support.
Personally I'm all for these slightly limited versions of expensive phones as it means we get a bunch of excellent features without all the expense of the 'posers' model.

I've just bought this handset and initially was very happy with it. My last phone was the SPV M600 on orange which is virtually the same device only without GPS and the FM Radio.
I bought the handset brand new online and was happy to find that it was unlocked as standard so could pop my Orange sim card in without any problems.
HOWEVER the reception is pretty terrible. There's no problems if I go outside, but any time I step into a building the reception either dips out completely or is very very weak.
Has anyone heard of similar problems?

I've had it between diff manufacturers yeah. They don't appear to be always compatable. If blue tooth is your only option then you could buy a dongle and plug it to your pc and transfer them to that then back off to the Orbit. Best way is to obviously use a data cable to get the info off your old phone, but I assume you dont have that?

Does the new Orbit 2 phone have an output port that can be connected to a TV or Music Centre. I have just bought a Nokia N95 8Gb and love the storeage capacity, the camera and the fact that you can connect straight to the TV to show photos or video recordings. Problem is I really miss the Touch Screen hence the reason for looking at the Orbit 2 (I had the original Orbit and it was a good phone) Thanks for any help

Hi orbituk, I have been using the Orbit 2 since it was launched. Have been using Tomtom 6 on it and never had any problems. make sure you are regularly updating QuickGPS(every 2 days)this will ensure the GPS device picks up the satellites quickly. Also make sure your GPS is set to Com Port 4. If you need to know how to do this please ask and I will oblige. Should work fine after you have done the above. Absolutely love this pda. Can't wait o get the Orbit2 next month.

The Adobe startup software glitch is a worrying thing. It has happened to my friend and we tried installing the new version of the flash player on his pc to fix it. Its completely useless as the installation goes through but the CD does not play. The CD that came with the old WM 5 runs on his computer but does not synch as he has got WM6 on his phone. So I'm guessing it is a compatibility problem with the software on the CD that came with Orbits with WM6 on it. I have WM5 and the CD that came with it and my phone synchs fine. It is really annoying and I'm sure O2 has a solution to this problem!!

I have had this phone for 8-9 months now. When it does work it's very good and having the GPS built in is great. Co-Pilot is not as good as Tom Tom software but ok. Size is good and practical for a Windows Mobile devise. I have had to replace it once due to a massive system crash and the one I have now throws a woddler at least once a week. But better than older XDA's
