Looking at HTC/XDA's and need advice and help!

Hi guys/gals,
I'm going to be getting a work mobile in a few weeks on the O2 network in the UK. I was thinking of a blackberry but then saw the XDA's (HTC). I don't really need a PDA but its a works phone and having excel would make my job a lot easier as I don't have a laptop but need some access to excel in the warehouse, as well as outlook and messenger when I'm out on site.
Now the 2 that's I'm looking at are the XDA Stellar (http://www.my-xda.com/devices/xda_stellar.jsp) and Orbit 2 (http://www.my-xda.com/devices/xda_orbit2.jsp). The problem is that they are just re-branded on the O2 network and I cant figure out which are the related HTC phones. So could someone tell me which are which so i can do some more research.
I have been reading review and seems the Stellar is a better PDA/phone as its got the slide out KB. But typical O2, i cant really tell what are the differences as one pages says one thing and the other something else.
Does the stellar have a touch screen like the orbit, with the same funtionality?
Both do Wifi and GPS?
can i get tomtom software for the XDA?
whats the battery life like on both phones? (I have heard horror stories when using 3G or WiFi with a sub 4 hour battery life)
Can u 'image' the OS and stuff like u can on a PC to back up everything? (i ask because I do like to have a play and its nice to know u can get it back to factory settings again)
any helpful links u peeps might have to gimmi a help deciding? reviews, guides ect ?
Sorry for all the questions. I really like the look of them but have never had a chance to use one so I thought i would be best to ask soem people who know the in's and out's.
thanks for the help i hope to receive!!!
Peace
SN

ha haa..
no help but i sorted it out anyway. Stellar/TyTn II is the plan.

You could swing by dev and hacking http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260 they have tons of stuff over there.

When i'm looking for good apps I usually go to the following sites:
winplay.com
handmark.com
handango.com
and for free apps I go to:
pocketpcfreewares.com
freewarepocketpc.net
freewareppc.com

Gotta Agree with That one there, been a palringo user since the HTC Mogul (what seems like many moons ago)

How to? HD2 to be seen as Nokia

Hi Lads.
few years back I've been using HTC Universal and remember that there was some kind of "hack" that some services seen my phone as Nokia. i searched all internet but cant find anything regarding something similar for HD2. Is that possible to do ?? Any help appreciated
thank you

can't think why...any reason?
I know that isn't too helpful - but if we know why you would want to do that- maybe we can find a way around it

well my answer is:
there are java applications that work fine on hd2 but because they are not designed for this phone you cant download them directly . with this sort of "cheat" there is a chance to do it. it did work with HTC Uniwersal
