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.
