XDA Mobile phone

Hi there,

Quick question really, the XDA, from o2, which would you go for the Ice, Jet, Graphite, Orbit or Trion.

My contract is about up with o2 and I fancy one of these, are there any retention discounts that I could get, maybe, with these? Or does it depend who I taalk to at the other end?

I got an Orbit a couple of months ago and am very pleased with it, even more so now I have downloaded a patch from XDA-developers.com that fixes a little problem with them. Have not used the others you mention but the Orbit has built in SatNav which is very good, It is not quite as quick as the XDA2i it replaced but is much smaller and lighter and I don't really notice the difference in speed much.

I got mine for free after a bit of a "discussion", but my father had to pay £50 for his one!

got the orbit about 2 months ago again replacing the xdaIIi
love it nice and small, pretty reliable only crashes sometimes when i want to load up tomtom!
not slow, but i dont tend to leave many programs running anyway, pretty reliable but a couple of bugs

i'm torn between getting an o2 xda graphite or a nokia e65 for my upgrade. both are wifi, 3g and smartphones but the o2 uses windows mobile os and the nokia uses symbian.

any suggestions?

My personal opinion on this is the Trion. I have the previous version (Mini S) right now, and the slidy-out keyboard is a great addition to a phone for texting & emailing, and the Trion's keyboard is supposed to be slightly better than the mini s's.

Although after having it for a year, I am starting to miss the tactile feel of proper buttons for dialling etc, so I'll probably be switching to Orange and getting the SPV E650, though I'll keep the XDA as a dedicated PPC!

Ok then thankyou,

Anybody managed to get any better deals by going through Retentions???
