Newbie O2 XDA ORBIT 2 VS TOUCH CRUISE? - Touch Cruise General

Hi Thanks for reading and helping!
I'm thinking of buying this phone but are they the same phone?
Does the HTC have different software?
Does the XDA have lots of 02 software?
I am on orange will setting up mms and internet be hard?
Can i flash a 02 to a HTC? or can i flash a HTC to a 02? Did i say im new?!
I have seen the unlock software does this work on both?
I want to use wifi and gps tomtom/copilot like txt more than call are they both easy to use?
Does the wheel thing fall off alot? can you get new one? does it only happen to the 02 one?
For the money are there better phones out there?
last one sorry Does the HTC one have tomtom full uk maps or just one town?
Thanks and sorry its alot to ask. Dont want to get the wrong one

Is XDA III real?

Hello peeps!!!!!!
Anyone here knows if this is true??? Is XDA III exist??? where's the proofs? What is the estimated price? larger than 1000 US Dollar? is in it?
if not then it would prob not be on the frontpage of this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/front_page.php
but people feel it's not big upgrade compared to xda2 since the only difference is that it have wifi and a keyboard
There are allready some pre-sales sampels out to some providers.
XDA III has definitely been confirmed and XDA IV has been rumoured
EXTRA EXTRA read all about it:
http://www.msmobiles.com/index.php/0,0,1.html
Just a few pictures of MDA III, I had it in hands, it is heavier but the battery is 1500 mAh, wlan on board etc.. [email protected]
Does it have Voice Dialing via a Bluetooth Headset? Handsfree Profile? That's the major reason I'd want to upgrade.
Wow, looks great, thanks for the pictures.
Any idea on a release date? :?:
I must say, this device is very well endowed with buttons. I see eight just in front, without being able to see any side buttons. This is without the keyboard.
Extra buttons... I would love those on my xda 2, so I could make it a more one-handed device.
Surur
Yeah one thing I dont realy like with my P800, no buttons on front, two on the side, Camera and internet(not opera! some no javascript browser!) The jog dial, which was great. But you can do anything with one hand!
So the XDA3 with keyboard and buttons is the reason why I am jumping boats from P800 to XDA LAND!
Can some body comfirm me that you can now buy this phone in Germany? I was in a T-Mobile shop today asking when it would come out and she said it was out in Germany stores but Austria is about 4months behind.
I dont think she is right, but just incase have anyone seen it there? or heard of some new info on the web, I can find anything new about it?
thanks
If my information source is correct I beleive the MDA III is coming out in Germany and the UK in September!

NEW XDA 3 - HTC Announce first WM 2005 with 3G - Official !

Well at last, looks like the makers of all previous incarnations of the XDA (XDA1 to XDA2i an 2s as marketed in the UK) are ready to release this to the world later this year, so I reckon this is the proof that many of us suspected anyway, this will be the XDA3! I guess this also means that we are never gonna get upgraded officially to WM2005 on the 2i or 2s.........hey ho....2003se seems ok so far.
http://www.htc.com.tw/news/index.html
Already announced as the MDA IV too - so the question is, will O2 call it the XDA IV or confuse the easily confused by having a IIi and a III?
I think O2 deliberately held off using the '3' so that they could use it on the first 3g device.
It would make a good name - XDA 3G
looks good..but
the only problem i think i will have is the thickness of it as it has a keyboard and prom the pix it looks pretty fat to be honest. also any1 no exactly when it comes out?..thinking of getting one
tried one of them 2 weeks ago - and it is really big!
bigger than the Blue Angel - and for me as a MDA Compact fan, just not the right device.
I don't want to have a small laptop with build in UMTS.
I want to have a mobile device like the Compact, with a video cam and build in UMTS.
The keyborad and additional space is just grap.
Just take a look at the number of sold Blue Angels vs Compacts/minis - the rate at T-Mobile is 1:4
1:4 it's just the ratio of people that need wifi on their usual day of work vs the ones who don't need it and are happy with something sticking out of their magicians...
XDA3 - MDA4 Unversal etc
Spoke to a contact at at o2 in the UK, and he reckons they aint gonna get the universal...............no idea why as they carry the X phone which is 3G, maybe a licensing issue in the UK, now that Vodaphone - Orange etc have jumped on the bandwagon and stolen o2's thunder in the last year or so....Its a great shame as without the foresight of o2, many XDA users wouldnt have been able to get one in the UK............................Come on o2, sort it, I hate orange and vodafone!
the whole reason O2 messed with the XDA II IIi IIs names is so the XDA4 would be called the XDA3 here, for 3G.
they WILL release it.
Just reallllllly laaaaaate.

no it won't. if me sources are correct, they will imate to market.
if o2 dont carry it then cant people just buy the imate or qtek versions they are as a rule not locked at least my qteks never were then people can put in their o2 sim and all will be well
well I am delighted to have been mis informed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks like the xda3 (named EXEC) will happen in the uk from o2! sometime in September
PS Thanks to pjcltd and his info!

In need of a phone

hey everyone,
my unlocked T-mobile wing is broken and instead of trying to fix it and probobally destroying it im checking to see if anyone is seling a wm6 phone with a qwerty keyboard. preferably att tilt or htc fuse. i checked ebay and the prices are rediculous im lookin to spend in the range of 100-200$
thanks
i went from the wing to the tilt. I have to say my wing is a lot more stable than the tilt. I thought i would use the gps a lot more than i actually do.
you can get used wings for pretty cheep on eghey
yea the wing was prty damn sturdy.. the only reason i like the tilt more is the upgraded ram.camera and gps

For that $ perhaps you can buy an HTC S621, very good smartphone indeed
Good luck,

no by stable i mean that the software is a lot more stable i find myself hard reseting my tilt about once a week. i only had to hard reset my wing maybe 4 times in the year that i have owned it. btw if you get a another wing just 2 clean is the best rom ever. i wish it would be released for the tilt.

Fuze = Raphael

If you are not in a rush of getting a new phone, why not to wait a few months to HTC present the new 09 models!
I´m sure there will be better models than Touch Pro

Looking to get PDA after few years out??

Hi, looking to get a PDA after not having one for 2-3 years. I used to have a polaris and before that a wizard so I want to know which to consider to get now.
I would ideally like one with slide qwerty, but not particularly bothered.
I have trawled the net but all too confusing , so many out there now.lol.
I would spend up to £180 second hand. I know they all have their niggles , so what is a good all rounder that can be customised with roms and the like?
I used to flash and flash my old one's with allsorts of roms. Been to iphone and got bored of that so I am off back to the old trusty PDA.
What would you guys recommend??????
Cheers all!!

Hi, I need one with GPS built in ideally. I know the kaiser has it built in does the touch pro 2?
Which one has better customability? As in custom roms etc......
Was touching on kaiser myself but was thinking maybe a bit slow now, which would be the same allrounder with gps and rom cooking?
Thanks.

Hi, bought HTC tytn II brand new for £100. I think this is a good deal, u think??
I will play on this for a bit then upgrade when I get back into the swing of things.
Thanks for your suggestions guys.
P.s just one thing , the phone is locked to vodafone, I presume it is quite easy to unlock?
(It used to be!!)
Thanks.

good luck with your new toy.
Hi, Ahh, bit of a development, I got the Kaiser , then I got what I thought was the deal I could not refuse.
I got a brand new HTC touch 2 pro for £230, so now I have 2 PDA's when I only wanted one.....arrrggghhh.
I presume this is a good deal and worth keeping over the Kaiser?
What would you guys do?
The Kaiser is for sale if wanted by anyone. (If pro 2 any good)
P.s Why is the kaiser sim unlock free, but htc touch pro 2 isn't????????
thanks.
Stu.
I'd keep both the TP2 is a far superior device than Kaiser but keep the Kaiser as back up, b.t.w the price you got TP2 for is awesome
If you want to compare the specs Device Database @ top of forum will show you how much better TP2 is
