All O2 phones are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over rated!!!! They should have stuck to providing airtime (which they struggle to do) and let the phone making to the big boys (anybody but O2) they are pointless and are ruining the environment. the only thing achieved by making these phones are co2 pollution and a big mess when every throws them away. VODAFONE rules anyway if they phones they'd probable be the best in the world.

I have had this phone for around 3 months now and its FANTASTIC! other then a few picky things im not to keen on but you get that with anything new!

I had the same problem with the assigning msg tones. all you need to do is make sure you drag the tone you want into the "my ringtones" folder inside my docs! and that should work!

good luck!

I have been using the original xda orbit for about a year now and have just upgraded to this. I think th touch flo feature is fantastic as many a time I got frustratd with its predessesor when trying to operate the phone with my fingers instead of the stylus. Ive love wm6 however I do believe I will swap this for iPhone 3G when its out due to general usability, however all in all this is a fantastic PDA.

hey people i have had this phone now for about four months and think it is one of the best phones i have had i do have a few gripes with it though. Firstly i cannot put a msg tone on there that i have downloaded i can only use the pre loaded ones and secondly i cannot use the wi-fi on it as it always says that my wep key is incorrect even though it is the one that is printed on my router. If anyone knows how i can sort these problems out then that would be great. Other than that this is a great phone. Peace out!!

@ M50R

Go to 'SETTINGS, SYSTEM, POWER, ADVANCED.
There should be an option at the bottom to allow charging from the PC or not.

Hope that helps...

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-05-26 12:35 from PAtLWTF are u talking about! NOkia phones use a 333mhz processor and this phone has a pretty fast 400 mhz processor. And what is this whole 2-8GK thing?? Are u talking about GB, as in internal memory? Use a freaking micro SD card add 8gb in no time. And only about 3 Nokia phone has more then 1 GB internal memory. If your thinking about the N96 , thats not out yet, so it doesnt count. I can easily say O2 is coming out with a phone that has 25,000 GB internal memory but til its out in shops, that means nothing. Also the camera on this phone isnt as bad as many other HTC/o2 phones, but then again this phone is really a camera phone like the n95/n82.
I love nokia but their phones are very slow in multi tasking and processing.

This phone rocks.

I now currently use a Nokia N95, Nokia E90, O2 orbit2, and Lg Vu(sucks)

I really like my phone and have had it now for three months. When connected to my PC it used to charge and sync but it has stopped charging. It charges fine in the car and from the mains. Is this likely to be the lead or have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere? Can anyone help?

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-04-30 17:21 from MSHfryt, from my experience with windows mobile, is that i have grown attatched to it....i cannot see myself using an iPhone because u have to go thru iTunes...and i prefer using Microsoft ActiveSync...
iPhone is a gr8 phone no doubt, but it does not support word, excel, or adobe...it is firmware so it will be updated and its jus a matter of time, but till then i would stick with the windows mobile.
Hope this helped you decide.

Hi guys and girls.

This is a great phone but I experienced the first major problem. I bought an 8gig MSD Card and transfere all the info I have onto it. During tthe time of using, I saved all my Word,Excel Docs and some important photos on it.

Then last week something went wrong,the card went corrupt and all my info is lost!! It shows under the Memory status there are about 2,5gig used of the 8gig biut I cannot see any info accept for the Inbox file and thaat CANNOT be 2,5gig size.

Even when I connect the MSD Card to the laptop via a reader,it shows there are 2,5gig in use.

Does any one of you know how can I retrieve that info.

I can be contacted at 07763113535 LONDON UK or at my email henning.ras@gmail.com

Thanks

Henning Ras

Hi, I've been told that this phone can only send SMS of 160 characters. Does anyone know if this is correct? Cheers.

Forget windows media player!There's far better media players. Download TCPMP (freeware) or coreplayer.http://ppcwarez.org has thousands of applications for windows mobile.

hi jack, don,t know if you have already got your answer to putting vidios from your nokia to your o2 orbit but the nokia runs of real player and the orbit runs of windows they are to different types of players but you can download the mobile real player to your phone, thats one of the beauties of this phone you can add soft wear.
