O2 blueroom

Keith Bond is definately getting to grips with his phone very quickly:

“I was recently contacted by Steve of vccp.com, part the 02 marketing team, he asked me if I’d be interested in trialling the new O2 phone, well anyone who knows me I’m always up for a freebie, my Fashion Blog is littered with reviews of various items of apparel that I’ve been sent, so naturally I agreed.

On Tuesday morning a carrier delivered my brand spanking O2 XDA Orbit 2 and wow what a phone.

The key features of this little beauty are:

• 3 Megapixel camera
• On-board GPS
• Microsoft Windows Mobile v6 Pro

One of the reasons I’ve never taken to mobile phones in a big way is that the tiny keys and my numb arthritic fingers are incompatible, not a problem anymore, the Orbit 2 comes with a touch screen and a neat little stylus.

Early days yet as I’m still finding my way round the phone however its an interesting experience accessing the internet via mobile, shows how big and cumbersome some landing pages are, for navigating web pages a neat innovation is to be able to scroll up, down, left and right by sliding a finger across the screen, and its nice to know I can now get onto MSN when I’m out and about and check my emails too.

The software on the phone includes Word, Powerpoint and Excel so I’ll be able to write articles for my blogs when away from home without taking a laptop, and its simply a matter of plugging the phone into the computer to transfer the files.

The software and the internet connection mean I now truly have a mobile office all built into a palm sized phone.

Other features that I’ve not really had time to look at include, digital radio, mp3 player, wifi, bluetooth, a decent resolution camera, and other things that come standard on phones these days like video and a couple of games.

Mustn’t forget the basic phone / text functions and task manager, they are dead simple too, a couple of taps with the stylus or a fingertip and bobs your uncle.

Oh and now if I get lost while I’m out the GPS navigation will soon sort me out.

I’m finding it hard to resist playing with all the functions at the moment but all the time I’m learning more about what the My Office ON A Phone is capable of.”

 Thanks Keith!
