O2 Xda Orbit 2Back in November, we reported O2 is launching the HTC Touch Cruise as the O2 Xda Orbit 2. In case you haven’t figured out from the currencies used in the article, at that point the carrier was unveiling the device in continental Europe, most notably Germany. And now O2′s British arm is following the suit by launching the same device. Guess they wanted to focus on the iPhone launch first, and then later go on with more devices…

Anyway, in case you’re still not aware what HTC’s smartphone has to offer, I’ll only briefly recap the specs – there’s the HSDPA support, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WiFi, GPS, 3 MP camera, microSD slot, Windows Mobile 6, and more.

Business customers can grab the O2 Xda Orbit 2 from free, and/or get an additional handset from £99.99. An offer for consumers is also coming very soon…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
