The O2 Xda Orbit 2

O2 have been...

just read the 2 reviews again, so the screen on the Orbit II is better than the Stellar then?
dont want to be in my truck on the way to gigs with a screen i cant see IF the sun catches it

maybe i should phone up and make the change to the Orbit II do you think?

will HTC issue a patch fix for this Graphics Problem do you think?

also, when making and recieving calls, is there plenty of volume in the earpiece, need good call quality obviously, and which of the 2 has a better loudspeaker?

Unlikely IMO. And if there is a fix, it has to be a fix for each individual ROM, so you are reliant on O2 picking it up and issuing a new ROM, which will add a few months delay.

Get a bluetooth headset - for either the Stellar or the Orbit 2. Necessary anyway if you are going to use the phone while driving.

Damn!!

i just watched this and seen for myself it has this annoying fault
not sure IF i should ring 02 up and cancel
video playback is beyond appauling

YouTube - HTC TyTN II Video playback performance

i already have 2 high quality Bluetooth Headsets, i have the Blueant Z9 and Nokia BH-900

I had no problems playing back videos using TCPMP v0.81 player that we have in the forums on the Kaiser (Stellar, Vodafone v1615) or any other WM5 orWM6 HTC device, I also run it on my Orbit 2 without problem. It must be Core Player that has the problems.

I can verify no issues at all on either machine with TCMP here.

whats TCMP ?

SORRY, IM A BIT THICK!

TCMP is TheCore Media Player. It is the free Beta version of the Core Player software. They are used to play movie and sound files and support more format than the default media players.

so, when i get my Stellar on Tuesday, i should be ok then?
im in 2 minds whether to get stellar or orbit now
but both still have the drivers issues

You should be fine. Ive been having a 'Stellar day' today and no issues at all.

a what day? ha ha
nice one, mine comes tomorrow from 02

my friend is trying to make me change my mind and get a Sony Ericsson W960i

i will still probably use my Nokia N95 8GB regularly
