Just found the O2 Orbit 2 on the Business site:

Nice to see O2 have got the specs correct
they say it has wm5 on it
that isn't correct

Yeah! and no QuickGPS
Does anyone know if the phone comes with the same wired remote as the HTC version?
O2 are listing an 'O2 Xda Orbit 2' and an 'O2 Xda Orbit 2 with Sat Nav'. The one with satnav mentions built in GPS, so I don't think it just means software.
I presume the one without satnav will be cheaper, so have O2 disabled the GPS in one model, if so can it be reconfigured?
I dont think its disabled, but doesnt come with map's, car kit, windscreen holder etc.
Correct me if Im wrong
o2 Orbit II
Took delivery of mine today came with Co-Pilot pre-installed, windscreen mount, car charger, 1GB micro SD. It's got the FM radio back, (Stellar doesn't) and works perfectly with my 8GB SD card, in all perfect...

Unfortunately I am not able to order it from their website, but after talking to Dutch T-Mobile they said it will be released soon in Holland too.
The amazing part is that it is complete with GPS receiver AND software for € 199,95 incl VAT. I asked what software and although not confirmed, but onofficially mentioned as TomTom.

I have just tried to order one, but their address format is different and I cannot get it to accept my addy
A bit of an update: Our company uses T-Mobile so I did some checking through them.
The MDA II will be onsale in the UK in April 2004, and the carkit will be available as well, however, T-Mobile UK could not confirm prices, nor could they confirm that you will get the GPS receiver/software in the UK Carkit as you do in the German version.
HTH
i am going to call the shop in germany where i bought the mda II when it just came out.
there where fast with getting the mda II
Just spoken to the XDA Product Manager for O2 UK and he has confirmed that the official carkit that T-Mobile have released in Germany will NOT be released by O2 in the UK. O2 have rejected it on quality and design grounds.
They WILL however be releasing (in about 3 weeks) a universal car kit that will incorporate a number of phone specific cups - the first being for the XDAII. It will not however have any inputs for GPS - this will be included in a future release.
Bummer isn't it? I thought it was really cool having the kit and GPS in one.

What phone is it with no global roaming or is it a typo?
Triband should be able to globablly roam. Except to Korea and Japan, where GSM is concerned. It just means some US customers can't use their country's 850MHz transmitters for more reception in certain places. @CWKJ, the unit is manufactured by ASUSTek. Nowadays O2 has left HTC, to go into the arms of ASUSTek, Gigabyte, and Arima.

hi ariel, is it working on both smart and globe? I just found out that in smart you still need to activate and some devices like xdas is not supported while with globe you don't need to activate and just verified with globe that zinc model specifically is supported.

Hi I brought a HTC TyTN II a few weeks ago from an Australian supplier. The phone works great but when I try to install the “TOMTOM” navigation disk it says the ROM version is incorrect. I contacted HTS Australia, they say the unit is from Indonesia and so not supported here. Can anyone tell me where I can get an Australian ROM version? I am with Telstra for my mobile. I see lots of ROM versions on this site but not sure which one. ( sorry im new)
thanks
Tim
Yeah I'd like to get my hands on a current TyTN II rom for Australia.
I'm currently running Duttys latest rom which is working fine for the most part. I did have a small issue today where people on incoming calls couldnt hear me speak but a soft reset seems to have fixed that for now. Hope it doesnt come back
You can download it from http://www.asia.htc.com/Dopod_Aus/member/login.aspx You need to register with the serial number of an Australian phone to get access to the Australian ROMs. As far as I was aware the Australian (non branded TyTnII) phones ship with CoPilot and not TomTom. (At least mine did). So this may explain your TomTom issues.
Initially I flashed the Aust Hutch Three ROM to my phone but to be honest it really offers very little over the standard ROM other than the custom Three shortcuts which are easy enough to replace. I am with Three in Australia and very happily running Duttys Roms on my phone. I doubt flashing an Asutralian ROM will fix the TomTom isssue. I would be checking on its Authenticity and chasing it up with the supplier rather than HTC.
The Australian (non network branded) TyTn2's don't come with Tomtom taster, so an AU rom will not allow you to install Tomtom either... hope you didn't pay full AU retail price.
No Asian Tytn2 comes with Tomtom either AFAIK, even if it installs it will only give you a choice of US/Canada maps to download... making it useless.
Best bet is to buy Tomtom or another full version nav program. (and get onto whoever sold it to you asking why an "AU" phone would have the US nav taster (tomtom) bundled and not Copilot7 which is the official Australian bundled nav program.) If you got it from Ebay it is almost definately an asian grey market import... usually an SE Asia OEM phone (which have nothing bundled but Phone Backup, then some bad sellers include a useless US software disk to make it look more legit.)
I've got TomTom running on my TyTN II without a problem. All you have to do is go back one version to the .30 install and you wont have the rom issue. then you just need to copy all the maps and voices down to your storage card. I found the older version of TomTom on mininova.
Hi
My TyTN cam with Map King. I purchased TomTom as an option.
My ROM version is 1.82.707.0 WWE from 11/03/07, so its old. The phone has been working fine until i tried io install the Tomtom. I am also on the Telstra network. Thanks for the feedback so far.

I recently received a G3B0 Thumbpad advertised to work with o2 XDA II and iMate.
Unfortunately it looks like the product is for the original o2 XDA (although the product still fits in the USB slot).
Are they any drivers that will work with my imate (which has stock WM2003 fw)?
This is the auction I got it from (which clearly advertises its for XDAII and iMate):
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Thumb-Keyboa...hash=item380098707623&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177
EDIT: I am actually considering updating my PPC's ROM.
I was wondering if there were any WM5 or WM6 drivers.
I have a tomtom 910, can i use the maps on that somehow on my cell phone? Or do i need to buy tomtom 6 navigator?
My cell is a UK T-mobile MDA Compact IV, which im using on t-mobile USA.

Hi,
If you want to do it legal, you'll have to buy a new copy of TT6.
MOD EDIT: please don't offer the use of warez around here.
