    Another mobile phone thread

    Phone is due an upgrade and just when I thought I had decided on which one to go for, I'm beginning to change my mind.

    So, am now thinking of a PDA style phone but as I have never really taken much interest in these types of devices am at a bit of a loss of which one to choose, what to look for.

    Am on O2 and would like a compact, touch screen device which integrates well with Outlook and allows Wi-Fi web browsing as well as Sat Nav functionality.

    So, far, the choices seem to be:

    XDA Orbit

    XDA Stellar

    Visited an O2 shop today and the Orbit is a nice compact size but was un-able to see the XDA Stellar as it is a new device so not in stock yet.

    The XDA Stellar seems to have all the bells and whistles but comes across as being chunky whereas the XDA Orbit seems to have good overall features and a nice compact size.

    Does anyone have either of these devices and can give some advice on pros/cons?

    Do not use the three network. It is useless.

      Xen had a pretty cool phone the other night.

      Shame I have no recollection of what it was, though.

      I've been using three since they first came out, and they're not so bad these days. Still incredibly cheap for what you get.

          8 month?

          I've got another year to go on mine, but I don't find them that bad.

              That about sums it up for me.

                Depends on whether you want a keyboard or not, doesn't it?

                  It all depends on where you live and work. Some of my family and friends' have terrible T mobile and Orange reception.

                  Mind you Three have some of the worse customer service operators ever. I managed to get one of their Indian customer service operators attempting to threaten me down the phone.

                  Luckily I've just under 4 months before I can get rid of them
