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

I have had three in the last month and had to send them all back. Great phone realy liked it but there seems to a problem with the software, I had to use two outgoing providers for email one for wifi and one for gprs. Messenger kept on freezing and I had to reset the phone everytime it was used or you could not add or delete conntacts.
Apart from that all worked well.

Hey guys, I love this phone. I've been using it from February '07. I just want to upgrade it to the new software version but I'm worried that it will not synch with the computer since the Activesynch software on the PC is for the old software version. Am I right ?

Is it true to work with MicroSDHC?
Actually, I donwnloaded ROM image(WM6) from xda.orbit.co.uk and upgraded my PDA with it one month ago.
As a result, my PDA has the following ROM version.
IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0

But, WM6 is too slow to run 'Wisbar Advanced 4', Pocket Plus, PocketBreeze, Worldmate and so on. Moreover, it doesn't work with MicroSDHC.

Could you do me a favor to tell the version of your ROM image which support SDHC?
