O2 XDA Orbit
Although the O2 product portfolio is not too much, but there are some products that need to be tested and feature facilities, the O2 XDA Orbit. This is because O2 XDA Orbit are equipped with many features that you must try, because there are some additional applications O2 XDA Orbit itself to facilitate the exploration of this product.
Design
As in several other series that O2, the physical does not mean that on O2 XDA Orbit. This is intended as one of the characteristics of this product. Equipped with facilities that are using touch screen technology, and the screen size with approximately 2.8 inch wide, this gadget is able to display an image that is quite clear.
Screen
With the support of the display system using TFT LCD, the display produced by this screen is optimal, especially if it is used to display images with high resolution. Where is the screen resolution generated by the touch screen technology is able to produce a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.
Office facilities
O2 XDA Orbit is complete enough to support office work. Some applications that are installed on the O2 XDA Orbit, such as push email, outlook email, predictive text, and also some other applications such as calendar, calculator, and several other applications.
Connectivity
PDA Phone this connection can be through a Bluetooth network, WLAN, GPRS, and USB. So if you want to email can be done anywhere and anytime with the GPRS facility. And if you want to connect this device with other equipment, for example, to move data between devices, you can use the Bluetooth feature on the O2 XDA Orbit.
Camera
Quality camera that is owned by O2 XDA Orbit 2 Mpix is, equipped with supporting facilities, such as zoom, flash, and also a video recorder. At the O2 XDA Orbit is not available photo editing features that are usually found on digital cameras in general. Therefore if you want to take a picture, we should set the object image, and then we save the results into external memory.
Multimedia
For the features associated with the multimedia facilities, O2 XDA Orbit is already equipped with some applications, such as MP3 player, FM radio, and voice recording. For the MP3 player itself, you can save to your collection several songs, though not too large a capacity is provided, this is because the internal memory is not sufficient. While the FM Radio feature can store up to about 50 radio frequencies, with a wide range.
O2 - XDA Orbit
Not so long ago we ran a review of T-Mobile's MDA Compact III (you can read it here). It was the first connected Pocket PC from any UK network operator to carry a built-in GPS antenna, and is optionally available with the CoPilot navigation software from ALK.
Well, T-Mobile has been trumped by O2, whose latest addition to the XDA range, the Orbit, also has a built in GPS antenna and comes with CoPilot. The trumping doesn't come from being second, but from the fact that O2 has seen fit to include Wi-Fi where T-Mobile does not.
This is the major specifications difference between the two devices, which are made by newly established source of Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones, HTC, the company that has been building hand-helds for other companies for some years.
While their physical designs are different, both the MDA and XDA are small and pocket-friendly, with the XDA Orbit weighing 129g and measuring 108mm tall, 58mm wide and 16.8mm thick.

O2 XM music phone
First UK Review Intel's XScale processors have traditionally been incorporated into PDAs and smart phones, and promoted by the chip giant as the ideal CPU to handle the heavy lifting these devices' operating systems require. But a few years back, Intel decided it ought to widen XScale's target market. The result was 'Manitoba', a feature-phone platform designed to show handset makers that XScale is just as relevant to lower-end devices as it is to high-end ones. Manitoba was launched early 2003, and Intel named Orange as a carrier as a partner.
Two-and-a-half years on, and Manitoba has finally arrived as a shipping product, though with the O2 logo rather than Orange's. O2 calls the phone the XM and is pitching it as an entertainment device, with an emphasis on music.
The XM's box sports a cunning sliding mechanism - pull out on side tray and a second tray slides automatically out of the other end. Remove the XM and you'll see it's a typical clamshell phone that might have come from Samsung, LG or any number of vendors. It's not unattractive, but neither does it stand out - ideal for carrier-branding, in other words.
Closed, the tri-band XM presents a 1.3 megapixel camera and an 65,000-colour external display. On the right-hand side of the base sits an SD card slot, protected with an easy-to-remove rubber cover, though getting the card in and out is difficult. On the other side is the similarly covered earphone slot, plus Play/Pause, volume and Music Player activation buttons.
The tip of the lid fits tightly against the handset's body, so it's almost impossible to open one-handed. The only place a chin or lip - think phone in one hand, luggage in the other - can get a purchase on the lid is along the side. Inside there's a very nice 176 x 220, 262,000-colour LCD, backlit keypad and navigation cluster. The central OK button doubles up as the menu activator. It's surrounded by a circular four-way control, which is itself encircled by buttons to active the two on-screen items, call make and break buttons, a Clear key, a second Music button (this one with an earphones icon rather than a musical note) and another for O2 Active.
All the keys are comfortable to use, and the proprietary OS that ships with the device is basic but straightforward and responsive. My only quibble is that you can't change the two on-screen options - Camera and Contacts - to, say, Messaging and Calendar. T9 is available for text entry, but it's pleasingly turned off by default. Using the keypad to type displays all the characters available on the key you've just pressed, making it easy to select the correct character without having to take your eyes off the screen. A nice touch.
