O2 XDA Guide - User Reviews

  • I want to buy

  • I want to buy

  • i have an 02 xda guide

  • If the this celphone is in a language like Germany that i do not understand, how do i change to english? regards norah

  • I have been used this kind of O2 XDA Guide till now and looking forward to have another one cause it's so simple & multy function for me. Please help me to find this model ....

  • Anyone need some oxygen?

  • Old Phone, lowers Spec, useless DON'T BUY

  • yeah its HTC

  • hello and i love this mobile but this mobile have one fault as my opinion"its sound is very low just i feel'other wise this mobile is very very good

  • o2 is the phone company, like Vodaphone, T-Mobile, not the manufacturer. they are probably around in the US but called something else

  • from where we can buy the phone model no O2 XDA Guide in delhi

  • I o2 a european brand ??? Because i have not found a lot of people with these phones in the USA or Mexico as a matter of fact i didnt even know o2 was a phone brand when i saw it on arsenal´s(football club ) kit i thought it was a water company or something hahaha!!

  • are these phones onñy in europe because i have never really foun a lot of people with these htc phone in the usa or mexico

  • good for first use, its a kinda phone for 1 year use, u will find problems after that.\ U CAN CALL ME BASHER!!!!

  • I m use xda orbit o2 from last 1 years.but this is not good mobile .

  • For once in a while I have just seen something interesting and cant just take my eyes off it. Well, Am not up to buying it but i just love it.

  • Upgraded to this from orbit one and have nothing but praise for the phone and apps, the only exception and failing is the built in loudspeaker is rear facing and not loud enough, copilot 7 is a good choice for Sat nav (I have used Tomtom and Garmin units) which performs extremely well with rapid recalculations, mobile office is good for simple use and TouchFlo works very well and is simple to use the footprint option in combination with GPS and Googlemaps is a great piece of software. This IMO competes admirably with the iphone and other smart phones and the remote headset combo unit is a great addition. 9.5 out of 10

  • can i just say the key pad on this phone is big enough for big hand people my glove size is extra large and i use the key pad fine with no stylis, why not try the other key pad options.

  • hi i have found that the guide charges quicker when you turn on your internet on your phone whilst charging it. Also when you are connected to your computer at home, for some reason these two way charge my phone quicker than if i just put it on charge.

  • Quite an intresting gadget.. if you know the rules am sure yould love it loads ....

  • They seem to have made a better xda orbit 2 so I will get it when they dicide to sell me one

  • great tool! all round performance . big finger people will struggle with the virtual key pad (have to use stylus for texting). browsing great, push email great, fast data and a very good phone. only neg point..... charges way to slow.(car charger quicker) built in sat nav ,gps,and iphone style swipe control.

  • I just wanna clarify. How can it have finger-swipe motion when it has a resistive touchscreen?

  • right, i have just ordered this phone because i liked the orbit 2, yes you think this is stupid but people go to what they are used to and liked,. which is why i have choose this,. and this is the same phone as the HTC version apart from o2 have put in some extras for the users,. i will am looking forward to gettin this phone and well i can't see me been disappointed with what i get as other people have said,. it serves it purpose as a mobile phone,. rings and texts,. and probs has a decent camera on.

  • had this phone for a few months now and have enjoyed every second of it . it should of been called the xda orbit 3 really but hey its only a name. having had the orbit 1 and 2 and now this the guide i can see the inprovements they have made to each model and it shows that o2 are wacthing or listernig to there custemers.there are still some slight changes that need to be made like a more powerful camera with a flash ,a chance to move on up to windoows mobile 6.5 or 7 when it comes out and last but not least for co.pilot 8 to be on the handset insted of 7. but these things are nothing really big . like me xda guide phone and would recommend it to anyone cause i think that it one of the best phones on the market for what it does and for how it looks. 9/10

  • will we be getting a free windows 6.5 upgrade on the O2 XDA Guide?

  • excellent tool (Def 9/10 for business use) only drawback i found was the lack of a keyboard (as my fingers a bit too big to text on virtual on in screen). FAST, GREAT APPS, SIMILAR LOOK AND FEEL TO THE IPHONE. charges alittle slow but lasts well. great sound on calls, good stereo image and seperation with music on headset. needed a flash for camera but in very good light pictures are good. all my old PPC apps work (thankfully) and i am running the co-pilot and tom tom at the same time (so great for a test) i am a tom tom fan but co-pilot works very well. touch flo system works very well. 8.5/10

  • No you have not had this phone(Guide) for a year...Its only just been available recently in UK! Maybe you are talking about the Orbit I or II? Anyway, re the Co-Pilot satnav software, its excellent. Have used the last two versions on the XDA Orbits and its been great. However, you need to setup your phone & software correctly!!

  • haha thats a good one the ohine is practiclly not even in the stores

  • nice phone

  • had this phone for over a year now, sat nav service co pilot hardly works and incomparison to 'basic' sat nav in car..... its awful. the back light when on full display indoors is only just readable (outdoors in the sun =impossible to see) your basically guessing the space you think unlock is! the camera is also poor, 3.o meg (not bad for a phone) but does come up to scratch. the web bolt on was going to be the plus on choosing this but this was sooooo slow and poor on connecting, over all this phone was a big dissapointment and came with alot of hype too. it has a few +ve though, the screen (when unlocked) is very easy to use and large and the centre dial is useful when not using the'prodder'. i suppose it has a lot of extras like office mobile etc. but it seems to me they have crammed alot in something that cant quite cope with it?

  • Stella, I depends where you are in the UK. I'm in the UK and have NO problems here with O2. Doesn't matter what what phone I used. Just get the settings right from the start and use the Automatic settings in the device. I have the Orbit 2 and Iphone, no probs at all. [email protected] 07763113535

  • Hey isnt this the same as the HTC Touch Cruise 2009?

  • O2 are a fantastic network - the best - and these are quality handsets

  • stella how is the network bad best network in the uk

  • good............network is bad,,,,,,,...tyr this & face problems

  • it`s design is so cool . i love it .

  • dude, " Disclaimer. We can not guarantee that the information on this page is 100% correct." in case you didn't see what was written on the page

  • i love the design its very smooth

  • No, it is based on the Touch Cruise 09, not the orbit 2. Basically the new orbit 2... Perhaps should be named orbit 3.

  • its the same thing as the htc touch cruise except its 3g adn channel

  • this rview is fake ! it,s polaris platform (HTC touch cruise) with cpu400 mhz not 512mhz !

  • i want

  • i agree it looks same as obit 2 all they have done is updated from msm7200 chip to msm7225 chip and ram 256 rom 512 so theres not much diffent in them my xda orbit 2 has same front as guide so ill wait till something better comes along..

  • It looks the same as the Orbit II just with an upgraded camera!

  • 10$ smartphone phuujjjj

  • I really like the design, but yeah its has average features... not even a flash for the camera!!!

  • ehhh me too. Who wants QVGA in 2009? wake up 02

  • Who cares?! It's a smartphone, it serves a purpose. People who use them swear by them, and when they upgrade always look for devices to upgrade to. I don't see a problem with it quite frankly. It's aimed at the navigation side of things, and as long as it does that and it does it well, o2's job is done. Oh and not forgetting it's primary purpose, it makes calls and sends texts, it doesn't need to do any more, but it does!

  • don't worry, it's just you. O2 won't contunue producing phones if it is awful for the consumer.

  • ehhh its average, i wouldn't want it

  • Is it just me, or does everybody agrees that this is an awwfull phone? Just like all other O2 phones?..

  • Nice fone.
