O2 Xda Orbit review

 

Some smartphones are smarter than others

Fully-integrated satnav system ; Touchscreen smartphone ; Wi-Fi connectivity

No 3G ; Camera lacks autofocus ; No typewriter keyboard

A smartphone that's easy to use and comes with some innovative features

O2 XDA Orbit

 

A sleek new version of an HTC Windows smartphone with GPS and free Co-Pilot software, is the Orbit one of the great all-rounders?

Built-in GPS. Great sat-nav software

Slow processor. Awkward memory location

O2 XDA Orbit Review

 

Matt recently did an unbox video of the O2 XDA Orbit and asked me if I would like to review it for him. Naturally I jumped at the chance to play with a Windows Mobile device with built in GPS! The O2 XDA Orbit is the O2 version of the...

O2 Xda Orbit

 

O2 has come up trumps with its Xda Orbit, a Windows Mobile Pocket PC that includes bundled sat nav among its stratospheric features list.…

With built-in GPS you don't need an external antenna and the CoPilot software is one of the best available

The lack of 3G capabilities detracts from its all-round goodness

The Xda Orbit is a well-specced Pocket PC that has almost everything you could need in a smartphone.

Smartphones by their very nature are capable of doing smart things - but all to often you need to buy more software and add-ons to get the functions that you really need. Satellite navigation is a case in point

my xda has spent the last two years falling off tables, scuttling down the pavement and being bounced around in a tractor. amazingly it still works perfect! what looks like a fragile piece of gadgetry is in fact a robust tool which has all the features...

O2 XDA Orbit

 

When it works properly, keeps me in touch with the outsides world wherever I am.

Microphone failed after a month, so i can't hear anyone on the phone, and they can't hear me.
