Hello,
I was planning on purchasing a XDA orbit as it seems to suite my college needs. I was wondering can this phone be updated meaning if it comes with WM5 can I update it with WM6.
PS: Fantastic site
Thanks
screw it and buy an O2 XDA ORBIT II
What does the orbit II have that the 1st orbit doesn't

WM6 and TouchFlo
The Orbit II is faster (Orbit 201Mhz, Orbit 2 400Mhz), has more RAM and ROM (Orbit ROM 128MB, RAM 64MB; Orbit 2 double of it, 256MB RAM, 128MB ROM), WM6 and Touchflo ;-) (but this i also have on my Orbit 1 ;-) thanxx 2 this Forum )
To answer the first question
Yes - you can update to WM6 officially via O2's website. The upgrade is FREE and very easy
You may be able to negotiate a good deal for a new contract on an Orbit, especially if you mention the Orbit 2 will be out in a few weeks

Just a Re
Hello bodge, maybe i'm not a master but i'll try to help you.
Actually IIi and IIs not same.... not only the keyboar but also the other hardware.
IIs : Camera (noy mega pixel yet, but pic quality better than IIi), the processor of IIs is similiar with II (Intel PXA 263 400MHz), quad band ROM 96Mb. SDRAM 128Mb, ofcourse keyboard, bloetooth v1.1
IIi : 1,3 Mpix camera 9but as i said the quality worst than all XDA), Processor Intel PXA 272 520MHz, tri band, ROM 128Mb, SDRAM 128Mb, no keyboard, bluetoth v1.2
I think IIi still better choise, but there will be a new gadget from XDA run with WM5... whoa.... now the question is: Buy IIi or wait.... XDA IV??? :?:
Hi cornelius
Thanks for the reply.
im due my upgrade end of this week so not sure if to wait for the new xda to come out in the uk? could be months or is it due to be soon?
If not looks like the xda11i is the one then.

It's Your Choise
I think XDA IV need more than a month to be released, right now the i think the best choise is IIi, don't worry about pic qualiy just waith for ROM update.... Anyway if you buy a new IIi, would you like to send o2 email (from their email contac) to ask about upgrade WM5 for IIi, because they need sufficient request for releasing that WM5.
Ok, have nice experience with your new gadget...
Hi all
ok i bought a ipaq hw6915 from eBay to find out it was a French rom and not English ( i am sending it back as the eBay description did not say this and no English rom is available )
anyway should i stick with my choice of the hw6915 or should i go for a o2 xda orbit as it seems to have more support from what i can see
i believe both are made by htc but it seems hp are not updating the 6915 to wm6 plus the English rom thing
what should i do / buy
regards
MrKing
iPAQ 6915 is a fine device. It has it 'all'.
Orbit has official WM6. If I were you, I would have stayed with ipaq provided that it used english language. But, if the language is a problem to you change it with another device
if you want to see how an hw6915 looks afte a few monts of using ( full of scratches, cheap plastic covers) let me know.
thanks guys
i went for the 6915 again and will see how it goes - if i am not happy with it i will resell it for same price as its used but not to old
Hey,
I currently own a HTC P4350 a.k.a Herald a.k.a T-Mobile Wing. I bought it for $350 and have just sold it at a much higher price
This was my first HTC and my first Windows Mobile phone I loved it, but now I want to take it a step higher..I have $475 to spend and the only REAL problem I had with the P4350 was it only had 64MB of RAM..I'd prefer a phone with at least 128+
Any recommendations? BTW I'm on a T-Mobile NEtwork, but I can take unlocked phones too
Upcoming phones:
- Kaiser
- Eten X800
- iMate Ultimate series
maybe the upcoming asus
asus p750 in 2 months
I really want an i-Mate Ultiamte 7150 anybody know where to get one or when they'll comeout?
Hi,
I'm currently using the O2 Orbit (original) phone, and have really enjoyed my time with it. HOwever, I am now due an upgrade
I am debating between the Stellar and the Orbit 2. I don't miss the keyboard on the Orbit (had the Mini IIs prior, which had keyboard of course), but I wouldn't be too depressed to have one. As far as I can see, there's not much to seperate the two phones, but from user experience, which one would you buy, and why?
(or can someone think of any other alternatives?)
A.
Hi,
I found the Kaiser (o2 Stellar) very bulky, that's why I changed. Also fm radio on orbit II, better touch flo experience. Check out the new ppc's from the Barcelona WMC2008. maybe u ll find something worth waiting for. but in any case, i don't think they will be in stock with any operator soon enough for ur upgrade. i d go for the orbit II.

I'm slightly worried about the Polairs' video driver issue... or is this not so much of a problem?
kaiser and polaris suffer from the same driver thing
people report that htc have bulged and will pay qualcom for the driver
they so far been too cheap to pay for
otherwise another possiblity could be other devices comming out using the same chip
like toshiba
Definitely go fot the Polaris, man! I'm tellin' ya
It's slimmer, more solid, and pretty And if you don't miss the keyboard of the Mini S (heh, I also had one, then changed it for a Neo (Prophet) and didn't miss the keyboard ), the Polaris is maybe the best PPC out there.
My opinion - BioTouch is much better than an old touch screen combined with a hw keyboard. And with the number of the input apps out there, it's the ultimate choice.
Tried Opera 9.5 yesterday - amazing. This browser makes your PPC the ultimate mobile internet device and combined with the BioTouch it simply rocks!
Could somebody please advice about the HW differences (electrical not optical) between the Orbit I and the Orbit II from O2-Germany?
Orbit II comes out of the box w/ WM 6.1
Could somebody advice, which ROMs WM 6.0 will run on the device.
If some of the cooks would like to advertise his ROM, please advice if its confirmed working for blackberry connect.
Thank you
In hardware terms the Orbit 2 falls to bits more than the Orbit 1
