Tom.. To hard re-set
press and hold both soft keys, and press the small reset button.

Release the reset key - Keep hold of the softkeys until the format message appear. Green Send to format - any other key to cancel.

Can anyone help.

I have just recieved my 02 XDA Orbit and so far so good, however I have now hit some problems..

Someone sent me a picture message and it says I have to download it? I have pressed download and nothing seems to happening.

Also this is a silly question but can the Wi-FI be left on all the time or is this costing me to leave it on?

Can anyone please help

Thanxs.

Can anyone help. I've just got an Orbit on upgrade and the silver jog dial/wheel seems loose. Is this the same on all orbits?

Hi all

Got my Orbit yesterday. So far, very pleased. Some nice logical improvements over the XDA Mini S I've used for the last year or so.

I want to set my email up so it checks my Gmail account every hour or so (I know I can change the frequency of this) and download the messages and either the full email or first part.

So I went through the suggested steps, it seemed to go online with my address & password okay and get the details automatically.

Now, I can SEND email fine - write it normally, click send, it goes to outbox until I Send/Receive - however, it's not RECEIVING anything - that is to say, despite me having lots of emails, some unread, the phone is not picking them up. Last night it was receiving something - over 400 of them. This took some time and after all that, I had nothing - only an email that I ha0d received from O2 regarding my log in password.

Anyone got any suggestions for me to get this working properly?


Thanks in advance!


Mike

This phone is excellent, although I had my first SD card corruption at the weekend (I've owned the phone for 4 months, so not too bad). The only 'bad' points are that the camera isn't great quality, the phone usage takes some getting used to and some applications run slowly on 200Mhz (see BatteryStatus)..

TomTom is great for this device - you navigate to the addresses in your outlook contacts. I find opera much better than IE, and get an application called Battery Status - it allows you to scale the CPU (Overclock when busy & underclock when idle).

I got this fone a couple of months back. I just have no words to explain it's performance. It's simply awesome. The features provided are just right in place. There has been no snags, hangs or anything like that. I also use the WiFi option everyday and the browsing is too good. Overall this is one worthy fone to own. Great job O2!! I appreaciate it.

Hi, i don understand why most of the built-in GPS pocket pc come with 200 MHz processor? Why don't they increase the processor? at least 400 MHz! they can but they don't want cuz they plan to drain more consumers for their future products!
For the people who are own this device and using it, give me an honest feedbacks regarding the processor speed. Is it fast enough to surf the web while listening to FM, MP3, and using other programs?
