the pda is cool, i have it already couple of weeks.

But i should say, that the camera, altough good, drops to a 2 frames when the day is little bit rainy.( not enough light ) That makes it almost useles. Also the autofocus needs the sun, if not, it takes a min to focus.

Its bit slow, with scroll in the programs, surfing the net. You could actualy see, how the interface gets drawn of the screen.

But, if better drivers come along, its hammer.

Can anyone tell me where to get the SAR rating for this mobile? I have read that it is 1.72 but that seems very high.

Thanks

Dear O2 Rep.
I seriously think, it is unfair to rate Orbit 2 higher then HTC Touch Cruise. Could you please enlighten me with some "advantages" Orbit 2 over touch Cruise.
I think this is simply brand bias.
Why should we pay more for O2 if we can get the exact function for a HTC????
Furthermore O2 OEM from HTC!!!!

I previously own O2 orbit quit for some time.It was the best PDA phone I ever had.(I have used Imate JAM, O2 Atom, etc.)When I have serviced my ORBIT since some problem with Keys, the radiation afterwards was high and could not use that phone. Now I am waiting for orbit II and want to know the advanced features over the orbit. Can I get useful tips?

O2 Sales Exec - Thanks for the clarification.

I was given a 4th Feb date by o2 online. Is this accurate?

I know the phone has the new Co Pilot 7 on board.

Let me clarify a few things.
Firstly, uses co-pilot, not tom-tom.
Secondly, handset is free on £35 tariffs and above.
Thirdly, to get free co-pilots must be on £40 tariffs or above. Below £40 tariffs co-pilots cost £100.
Fourthly, other than that it's just an orbit with the new version of windows mobile six.
Fifthly, the most comprehensive and easy to use and reliable smart phone from the united kingdoms best network provider.

ALSO.. Available in some stores as early as January 28th, so check local stores.

ALSO ALSO.. Kicks the arse of the N95 GPS which uses unreliable, unestablished and undeveloped software and is also not as user-friendly.
