Hi all, been using my new Orbit 2 for about 2 weeks now, really impressed, as I have been waiting for a device this strong in all areas; a couple of questions tho (TIA); I am using a Brodit holder for the car, with a ciggie charger, but no audio passthru - I seem to be unable to find a setting to allow the phone to be in a handsfree mode when in the car (no headset attached or bluetooth) - just want to be able to press a key for inbound call to be answered and then have the audio come thru the phone - at present I have to press another button to get "Speaker ON"; as you know this would make it illegal to use whilst driving as you are only allowed to touch the device once.

Also, my only gripe, being a bit deaf, is that the speaker is on the rear of the device, and distorts by the time it is starting to get to a volume that I can hear; so, having bought a brodit holder with just charging option and no passthrough for the wired headset; can anybody make a suggestion how to get a passthru on and still charge the phone? I guess the best soln might be to get a proper blutooth headset.

Great forum btw and fab review too.
