O2 Orbit2

Firstly hello! This is my first post on here so go easy please
Secondly I need some advice, I am at a stage where i need to replace my current phone and i have been looking at the O2 Orbit2. I don't like to buy without reading a review but they all seem very conflicting. You guy's seem to know what you are talking about so i would welcome your opinions / options.
My current phone is the Nokia E61 but it struggles now so it has to go, I also have to change networks because Vodafone has little or no coverage at my new house.
Thanks in advance!
Nick.

Nick, it might help a little if you state what you expect from the device, I am currently using an Orbit-2 on a T-Mobile contracted sim card, what applicatons/ software or GPS based applications do you want/ need from this device - Mike

Thanks for the reply Mike, sorry for the delay in reply and the sketchy original post. My main uses are web access/email and Excel/powerpoint based programs not sure how it would cope with these. Also any troubles with PC sync as this is something I do regularly and would be a pain if it was unstable!
The reviews I have seen have been very mixed hence i thought I would ask the experts.
Thanks again in advance.
Nick.

Looking at HTC, advice on athena/shift please

Hi,
I am looking for a touchscreen device, will allow me to sketch stuff, access cell-network or wifi hotspot on the fly as I move around but also let me use it to place calls when I need.
The HTC x7510 looks almost perfect for what I need. However the Shift may fit as well, or is there something coming in the near future I should wait for? Or a model I am missing that will provide the above reqs?
Appreciate any advice or information you can provide me.,
I am leaning towards the HTC Advantage x7510, but looking for input from you more experienced people. =)
BTW I live in Mexico so it has to work on Telcel network.
edit: I travel between the US / Mexico but plan on including Europe this year as well.

After a bit more research it looks like I really only have one option and no one has offered any other information.
Thanks again all the advice =P
¿Maybe I should speak in foreign english, next time.?
j/k

Welcome to the forum
Nice to see more Mexicans around!
Google HTC Toth and see if you like it, it will be on sale later this year, Toth is the succesor of the Advantage.
Shift is also a very nice option but I think HTC have discontinued the model
Suerte!

Thanks, I had seen it and it looks very nice but its due out sometime 3rd or 4th quarter. (edit - its not much of an upgrade imo, faster cpu is the main thing. It may have better spec come release.) Going to need something sooner I think. I have pretty much decided on a x7510 but will wait till I hit head back to the States to pick one up.
Thank you for the welcome, looks like a great community here.
Appreciate the information.

Camera Software

Hi. I bought an unbranded phone running on WM 6.0. I have been searching for an alternate camera software. I found coolcamera but unfortunately it does not work. Do you know of any other software I might use because the default one it has in it is not so good and it does not let you use the camera in full screen.
Thanks

You could look into this althoug I'm not sure how much it will help. What phone is it?

Hi. The mobile is an Iphone clone called Miphone or M88. I found many threads like the one you posted but they are only people wanting to build an application. The only application I found is CoolCamera but unfortunately it does not work on my mobile.
any other suggestions are welcome please...

Firstly, this is an HTC forum for HTC phones only, so seekoing help here will get you limited answers. That being said, is it running an iPhone OS from Apple ? ( which I doubt because Apple hasn't sued them yet ) or is it an iPhone clone running Windows Mobile or a custom OS ?

It's some Iclone running WM6
OP i'd give up trying, software is not going to make hardware better

clearly you have no idea what i'm talking about. Some developers you are... thanks the same...

SciPhone i9

I have the ATT Tilt 2 (Touch Pro 2) it works well, and kudos to all the hard working developers here at XDA, and other sites. Now that thats out of the way here is my question, problem. My brother gave me a Sciphone i9 for my birthday this year and said "here keep it see what you can do with it." Now I've heard that it is possible to change the os and firmware of it to winmo, iphone or even android. I've been searching threads and post to find any information on how to do this and have come up empty. So does anyone have any insight on this iclone it has dual sim cards. I've inserted my ATT sim into it and it works fine, I would like to use winmo or better os than the java thats on it. Hit me up if you can help a semi newbie.

Need help finding a cheap chinese/foreign tablet with 3g(sim card)

I seen a few but don't know what sites are reliable to buy from and which tablets have any community dev support. Looks for something basic with wifi, 3g from a sim card and at least 4.0. I know some of you guys know about some of the decent cheap chinese/foreign tablets available.
Anyone can help a brother out? Thanks in advance!

Even one without the 3g would be fine!

You won't find much support for them here. Cheap Chinese devices are not big in the dev world.
