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.
Firstly hello! This is my first post on here so go easy please
Secondly I need some advice, I am at a stage where i need to replace my current phone and i have been looking at the O2 Orbit2. I don't like to buy without reading a review but they all seem very conflicting. You guy's seem to know what you are talking about so i would welcome your opinions / options.
My current phone is the Nokia E61 but it struggles now so it has to go, I also have to change networks because Vodafone has little or no coverage at my new house.
Thanks in advance!
Nick.
Nick, it might help a little if you state what you expect from the device, I am currently using an Orbit-2 on a T-Mobile contracted sim card, what applicatons/ software or GPS based applications do you want/ need from this device - Mike
Thanks for the reply Mike, sorry for the delay in reply and the sketchy original post. My main uses are web access/email and Excel/powerpoint based programs not sure how it would cope with these. Also any troubles with PC sync as this is something I do regularly and would be a pain if it was unstable!
The reviews I have seen have been very mixed hence i thought I would ask the experts.
Thanks again in advance.

Hi,
Corporate security has become a real pain area for me.....and as a result im not allowed to carry my phone (Elfin) to work....or will be stopped soon...I cant sneak it in forever So does anyone here know how to completely remove the camera from the device? Like entirely from its casing leaving no traces behind. Would the guys at the HTC service center be of any help? I'm a die hard WM user...and dont wanna have to give it up. I've seen the Blackberry/Nokia E series and other handheld devices without cameras...and they all suck! Id really appreciate any inputs on this from anyone. Alternatively, are there any good WM devices without cameras? I had started a thread in the elf forum but got no response. Hoping for some better luck here.

ok so here it is.... i own my own company for selling/repairing phones and got my hands on TWO cec f88 wrist phones str8 from china. These phones come complete with a chineese firmware and are cdma 1x phones. What i need help with is has anyone found ANYTHING to make these phone carry english firmware. I can't do ANYTHING with them untill i get english on them. Client of mine has two of these and wants me to get english language on these phones so that he can use them with a cdma network like cellular south/verizion. So if anyone has ANY insight to this phone PLEASE help me out. Feel free to email me also!!! mikeylove588 at aol dot com anyone who can help me with this will receive INSANE kudos seeing as i've spent 8 hours searching google/bing/yahoo for anything and have brought up NOTHING. Thanks in advance and i know this will not be an easy task
Hello All, (and Eugene), I am happy to be a part of XDA now, I've been reading the forums for quite awhile trying to learn. I'm self-taught and most of this still reads like greek to me. I've been trying to root my phones for over a year. I'm tired of buying expensive phones that takes no time to mess up then the yahoo's (not the website..lol) send me refurbished phones even if its been only a couple of weeks. Anyway if anyone is here in the Atlanta GA area I'd be willing to pay to get my phone rooted and install a new ROM. I've bought countless apps only to not be able to use them because of now room. Even when I delete everything the phone will say running low on space. Someone please help, thank you so much in advance. Please contact me @ ***@yahoo.com.
