The register reports that the Orbit II is available from 02 now...
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/31/o2_xda_orbit_2_available/
.... no sign on the 02 web site though.
Glad to see someone has already made a mention of the lack of drivers in the comments section!
(Beat me to it ;-) )
five-megapixel camera..........
I don't think so?
Perhaps both cams together
No, the Orbit 2 has just a 3MP CMOS cam with 1536x2048 px
Just phoned o2 to check - they are still saying the 4th Feb.
i just got told 29th feb
I'll be waiting...
Whenever I see a piece of hardware being delayed and put back time after time it makes me all the more wary of buying it immediately when it finally comes out. Clearly they're having some sort of problem (especially if it gets put back to the end of Feb), so I'm not sure as I want one of the first batches. I think I'll wait and see how everyone else gets on.
if someone is interested,
i'm selling my orbit2!
like new, screen protector already attached, some extras included.

Haha! I came into O2 today at about 11am and asked to see the orbit2. They said the last one they had in (they only had 2) was being sold at that very moment. That must have been you!

I have recently broke my XDA screen.
Does anybody know if the screen of the IPAQ 3630 is the same as the XDA? Is there any hardware modification to be done or the connectors are ALL the same?
People at Microsoft told me the Wallaby was designed after the Ipaq 3630, so most of the parts, including the screen should be the same.
Please advise. It could be helpful for a lot of people fouled by O2 with CRAZY requests for fixing the screen.
The ipaq 3600 series screen is bigger.
I have no idea about what you asked, but I would really like to know how you broke your screen?

it is very easy to make the screen break ... just drop your XDA, it happened to one of my XDAs
regards, monika
i drop mine about 5x a day...(scratches on case, looseing that wen vibrates, it rattles alot)...thats why im SERIOUSLY lookin for a dummy model, but everytime i try to check on ebay, the auctions are over...so i tried going to TMO stores, or where ever they carry them, always ask the sales ppl if they could just sell me the model, an they never want to :roll: i jus tell em to order an extra one, an say sumone stole the old one....but since theyr too stcuk up to get a few extra $$$$ in there pockets, ima just have to "take" one
Basically the screen has imploded. I was talking, the screen went on power saving mode, and when ended the call it was broken.
O2 asked me too much money to repair, but I am sure the screen of the IPAQ 3630 is the same size, already checked.
Has anyone tried to open up both devices and check it?
Just want to know if connectors are the same.
Thanks
yes, my friend did open the device .... not mine but the similar unit - MDA, seems like it is a sony make, but according to his words IPAQ screen will not fit
BTW I have the same problem - I have two machines - one MDA with broken but functioning screen and XDA I do operate on a daily basis, I can make calls from both units ... but hesitating between repair and sale as is
regards, monika

You must have the only ipaq 3630 that has a screen the same size as xda1, I have one in front of me and I will eat my shirt on camera if you manage to get it into the xda1.
although I am not going to eat my shirt :lol: but I agree that screen sizes are different

I broke my screen by dropping it face down on a stone 1 week after buying it. I was insured by O2 for £4.99 a month and the next day I recieved a brand new one with all the accessories and I only had to return the main unit. I now have 2 batteries, headphones, cradles etc.

Do you fancy selling all those XDAII extra's
Sorry, I find them really usefull, I have the cradle next to my bed and one attatched to my desktop. The spare battery is allways usefull as the main batteries are not very goo. that leaves me with a headset and a dummy SD card which i am sure are not very usefull to you. If it happens again I will contact you. Adam
Hi
I just wanted to share my excitement with you all (lol)!
I recently ordered my XDA Orbit 2 off eBay. Seller seems fine with 100% buyers and seller satisfaction so all should be ok.
I am so glad I got it - after literally weeks of hassle I finally ordered it!
This is actually the second time I ordered it from eBay, the first time the seller sent me the XDA Orbit 1 (Artemis)! After 3 weeks I got my refund and so now I have finally bought an orbit 2 for £296.99 including postage.
Quite a lot of money but my other phone (K750i) was really starting to tick me off - everytime I use it and it decides to mess up somehow I will have the satisfaction that I won't have to bare with it any longer!
Just hope nothing goes wrong!
I don't know why you've bothered...
I'm starting to wish I'd stuck with SE and got a P1i or waited for the X1
Well I had previously owned an XDA Orbit 1 (Artemis) and I loved that PDA so I thought that the upgrade to it must be even better...
Especially with the touchflo, better camera, 3G, built in Co-Pilot, faster CPU, and the nice shiny screen
Although I still think it is not worth £300, but I guess its that price on eBay because the only way to get them is through a contract on O2 and they are expensive anyway...
If I don't like it I can sell it back for probably the same price I bought it anyway... prices on them are starting to fall a bit now.
The cheapest ive seen someone sell an orbit 2 on ebay is £150 buy it now! Thats just crazy lol

Well, you can just buy a Touch Cruise anywhere, same thing near as dammit. Around £390 is the best price, but you get the warranty with that...
And it's a great unit, you're right, it's just like an Artemis but even better. Hope you enjoy it!
or through expansys on vodafone........
Mine was only £130..........

Don't be that happy Look at the screen from above and from below? Can you see anything?
On the TC the screen is completely different. If you have a chance, go to a store and look at the screens of both devices together.
Hi, I've a Xda o2 ignito, where can i find an extended battery with the rear cover?
thanks
Have trawled far and wide on the web but no joy.
I have been told by O2 shop staff that O2 are bringing one out in late November tho.
Will wait with baited breath !
Sorry to hijack your thread, but can anyone with access to both the T-mo MDA c4 and an Ignito confirm that the back covers are the same or if they are slightly different ?
hi, I've found the battery and cover:
http://www.expansys.it/p.aspx?i=173907
For me is too expensive
He He,
...now we're waiting for a new car holder to fit our thicker diamonds.

I have both the XDA Ignito and T-Mob C4 and the backs are a different shape and colour and also have different securing points.

Hi Everyone,
Any one got this already:
http://www.easydevices.co.uk/pp/T-M...OMPACT_IV_OFFICIAL_EXTENDED_LIFE_BATTERY.html
It says: In Stock
Can anyone please share some views about performance (GPS,camera, etc.)?
And, what is the most important, does it significantly improve everyday device life?
Thanks.
ooo nice, though that is alot of money for only 1/3rd increase in power,
hi,
yeah, I personally think the price is horrendous.
that is why I want to check whether it`s worth that price.
For £50 you can get 10x 900mAh batteries plus charger ;-))
actually a 50% increase in battery life. i have the Dianond version - well worth the money in my opinion.
Is there anybody who knows when to buy in Germany?

Ok,
I was waiting long enough now, hoping I will get cheaper one from eBay.
I`ve found only 1 seller offering 1800 mAh with ugly humpy cover, so I`ve decided to go for Expansys original one.
Ordered on 1st of Jan, paid £62 with delivery (bit expensive, but I`ll put it on as the Xmas present for myself ), expecting it tomorrow.
I`ll put some photos probably tomorrow evening and put few words about its performance later on (I need to test it first).
Happy New Year to all!

Expansys runs the business all around the world, I`m sure what they offer in the UK is available in Germany as well.
There you go mate: http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=171125
It is 63.99 Euro + delivery.
Cheers.
If I have the T Mobile version (MDA) and I got the Diamond back cover... would it fit?
Like this one - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-Touch-Dia...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

Hi,
No, I`m affraid it won`t fit. MDA Compact IV has rounded corners, while Diamond is strict rectangle.
There were a few threads about it already.
Hi,
Got this one from GPSforless
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....name=STRK:MEWNX:IT&viewitem=&salenotsupported
and it fits the MDA Compact and the GPS seems to work.
Will post once I have used it a bit.

Hi,
Did a Tom Tom test today. Basically Tom Tom running in demo mode, but with a GPS signal (varied from 3 to 6 sats), backlight on auto. GPRS was on and email was downloading every two hours, weather every hour. Got a total of 5.5 hours. Battery percentages for each hour shown below.
1.93%
2.64%
3.55%
4.44%
5.20%
I did a test with the standard battery before and it was about 2.5 hours.
My MDA Compact III used to get only 4.5 hours so with the extended battery the MDA Compact IV is actually better!!
The extra bulk may be an issue for some I suppose, though I will mainly use this battery for GPS use on my bike. The normal battery usually runs okay for me on day to day use of the phone.
Regards

OK, I`ve been using this extended battery for 10 days now.
With 10 texts, 20 minutes of calls a day and 3G switched off it lasts for 3 full days (72h), which I find is very good, compared to 30h on original battery.
The new cover looks very good. It has black/mate finish and has got an ornament (see photos).
My MDA Compact IV is about 3mm thicker and a bit heavier, but it hasn`t lost his sleek and flat look, which was the reason I bought MDA Compact not Daimond. Also, I`ve got a feeling that new size and weight makes it is laying better in my hand.
I had to go for another car holder. First, I though that my Compact with new battery (thicker) will fit into cradle for Touch Pro, but NOT, it was too loose.
So, I`ve bought universal one that will fit from small Nokia to big PDA (can give link to ebay seller, if anyone is interested).
I think the new battery+cover is worth its money.
Cheers.
more photos
here are more photos chaps.
I forgot to add:
It is ORIGINAL HTC extended 1340mAh battery with new back cover, especially for T-Mobile MDA Compact IV.
Very good quality, not cheap HK stuff. And NO AWFUL HUMP!
GPS works OK, absolutely no change compared to the original 900mAh.
No other issues noticed.
I`ll keep you updated when I notice anything.
Very helpful, thanks Tom - I think I might go for this. From where did you purchase the battery/cover? Also, do you have the original HTC pouch - does it still fit inside?
Thanks

Hi,
There are two on-line shops offering these extended capacity batteries:
Easydevices - http://www.easydevices.co.uk/pp/T-M...OMPACT_IV_OFFICIAL_EXTENDED_LIFE_BATTERY.html
Expansys - http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=171125
I went for one with Expansys, it is a bit dearer than Easydevices one, but I found Expansys more trustworthy and besides if you look at "Easydevices Terms & Conditions", you will notice that if you (for some reason) have changed your mind and want to send it back, they will deduct 20% as a "administration charge", so they will refund price minus 20%, which you can calculate yourself easily.
I didn`t know what I`m gonna get buying over the net, in terms of quality and peformance, cos I couldn`t find any opinions, nor feedback.
So in case, I didn`t like it I went for Expansys one, they don`t do such a "small print tricks".
It will fit original pouch, but for me it`s a bit too tight, especially when someone is calling you and you strugling to take it out to answer.
I`m using "temporary" pouch at the moment - it is SonyEricsson`s and still looking for a nice sleek leather one that will fit my new fatty toy.
That looks sleeker than my "hump" back. Although I personally wanted the double capcity so it does not bother me so much.
Regards

Yeah, but there is no photo and it doesn`t even say what kind of backcover is included - with ugly hump or flat?
Is there any one, who went for it, to share some info?
I received mine for my mda C.IV last monday and after a week of use, it was worth every penny. It took a day or 2 to get use to the 3mm addition but i now get 2-3 days use out of my phone between charges were before i barley got 1. Highly advise everyone with battery issues to get one!!!
I have a brand new HTC Touch Pro for sale. The box was opened but none of the software, accessories or the phone has been touched. I just got a Fuze through my company and this Touch Pro was shipped to me Brand new as a replacement for one that was defective. I have been using a touch pro since they came out several months ago. I do not need two and I want to stick with the Fuze for the 3G here in the States. $450 US takes it! This is a great deal for an unlocked HTC unbranded Touch Pro. This is the HTC model with the front facing VGA camera. Thanks Ryan
ill take it

where do you live?
do you accept local pickup?
I live in St Louis, Missouri USA. I can ship tomorrow morning via FedEx.
has it been sold yet?
no, the phone is still for sale.
How about some pics
I just took these. Nothing has been opened except the box to make sure everything was there. The plastic on the screen has not been removed and the phone has not been taken out of the little tray it sits in. This is as good as it gets... No stories, I just do not need it now. Check my eBay ratings...my eBay ID is 02ws6m6. Thanks Ryan
How much are you selling it for?
EDIT: Missed the price earlier, sorry
device casing looks scratched...

scratch??? I am a rediculously picky engineer and there is NOT single a scratch on this phone. The black anodized screen case is flawless.

It's dust on the plastic screen protector.
If anyone seriously wants the phone, I will try to take any detailed pics they want. I really don't know what else to say other than, the phone is new...
Would you take a HTC Kasier plus cash for the Touch Pro? I can also throw in a HTC Hermes too . Let me know.
No thanks, need cash...spent too much $$$ on my kids for Christmas. I did own both the hermes and the kaiser. Great Phones!
Reduced...$400 shipped and I will include a 3-pack of HTC Touch Pro screen protectors that I bought (new and unopened).
...Sold...
