O2 XDA Orbit 2 smartphone

Why bother - just be patient a month or so and get the HTC Diamond

The HTC Diamond wins hands down against the Touch Cruise/Orbit 2.

to name a few:

smaller dimensions - just 11mm thick

640x480 VGA screen

faster processor

new generation TouchFlo

4GB of built in memory

infact, AFAIK there is only one point to the Orbit 2 over the forthcoming HTC Diamond - the Orbit 2 has a memory card slot.

no Micro-SD slot

According to the discussions over at modaco.com, there is *NO* Micro-SD expansion available.

According to HTC the efficiency of the processor, and GPU (yes there is hardware acceleration) mean that the measly 900mAh battery needed to keep the size/weight down will still give acceptable time between recharges (unlike my a-day-if-lucky tytn)
