Well since you wanted a phone, and not a full-blown PDA, you've probably made the right choice.

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
This might be a bit long winded but here goes.
I have the use of a P3300 and the touch cruise.
they are both running WM6.
i also have the use of a XDA orbit and soon to have a XDA orbit 2.
The XDA orbit is running WM5 and the orbit 2 should be running WM6.
1. Has any one tries and tested a combo like the above and found any big differences.
2. Is the O2 version's better than the HTC version.
3. is there a tool out there that can solve problems on pda's.
4. is there a tool out there that can fix internal file curroption?
I have compared the 3300 with the polaris. Didn't do any extreme testing, but I noticed that the 3300 is a lot quicker and smoother than the cruise in the simple things like opening the start menu, scrolling through the contacts or on webpages. Only TomTom demo performs equally, both like a slide show.
But I think this is yet another confirmation of the lack of imageon driver support in the polaris.
Don't know about the other Q's you asked.
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?)

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!
Hi,
I am looking for a replacement for my xda ii mini (Windows 2003) which i have been using for last 3 years.
I have tried HTC TOUCH, HTC DUAL, TYTN, cruise among the various other windows 5 and windows 6 PDAs available. While the the new PDAs have whole lot of new features, the most important feature (at least for me) - Find / Search was awfully slow.
The mini that i am using now has over 10,000 contacts and few files , no third party softwares or any other tools which take memory and process time. My PDA handles the data with ease.
The same data when i used on the newer phones and tested the search feature it turned out to be very slow. A search in XDA II mini takes 2 secs and it HTCh touch 5 minutes and TYTn cruise take around 3-4 minutes. that is horribly slow.
I tried the same on older XDA II (windows 02) and it turned out to be fast.
It made me conculde that the new phones with windows 5 or 6 must be taking lot of resources, too many features that the basic functions are not paid much attention to.
Simple OS like windows 03 are faster and efficient than the newer ones
I need help -
Is it the OS that is making the difference?
Where can i find a 02 XDA with Windows 2003?
Can i buy a HTC TOUCH or DUAL and format it and install windows 03? Will it work? Can somebody help me with that?
I had tried a few third party search tools , they were not any better? Can i find some fast search tools?
Last
Can somebody help me buy new O2 XDA II mini ? I know they are not manufactured now but it seems the only replacement of my current device.
- Regards

I think the answer here is to flash a custom rom made by one of our great cooks here....
I have both HTC Tytn2 and HTC touch running custom roms and i can really notice the difference between custom and shiped roms.
Anyway this is just my 2 cents... lets wait for the gurus to reply
Cheers

Thanks Farhan and hi to all
Flashing a custom ROM ?
Does that mean that the OS will be changed ?
How and Where does one do that?
I will buy a HTC TOUCH for trying out these things that you told

Still waiting for the gururs to reply

A lot (if not all) users here have flashed cooked ROM into their devices.
All info about flashing can be found in the Wiki (albeit Device specific). Basic questions about flashing can be found here.
Everything else, can be found on the device forums.
