A cutie with an impressive spec… by the way, I am talking about the Xda Orbit 2

 

The highly anticipated Xda Orbit 2 is now available in the UK, and Steve at VCCP, the advertising agency behind the Cocoon seeding programme, asked me a couple of weeks ago if I was interested in reviewing the device… and I simply couldn’t say no to a shiny new toy!

The deal with VCCP is quite clear - I’ve been given this phone with no obligation upon me to say or write anything about it. But I will, as this is the sort of phone I was planning on upgrading to and I am glad to see a bigger range of smartphones available on the market.

I’ve been playing with my new toy in the last few days and my verdict so far can be summed up in one word: wow! The new Xda Orbit 2 is definitely a cutie with an impressive spec!

Whilst smartphones tend to be masculine looking, the Orbit 2’s design is gender neutral, yet stylish. The Orbit 2 is very easy to use … so intuitive in fact that the manual is still in the box! Saying that, O2 should still aim at improving their manuals (I believe I said the same thing about the Cocoon a few months ago…). I felt that the manual could have been organised in a more logical and comprehensive way (without being too bulky) as the information is all over the place… 

I am so far terribly excited about the camera, music player/digital radio (can’t wait to see whether I can at last ditch my iPod) as well as Co-Pilot 7. I am planning on blogging about these features in the coming weeks…. In the meantime, more reviews can be found right here on the Xda Orbit 2 Blog.
