Before i bought my o2 Orbit 2 = HTC Cruise, I only just picked up the information about a similar product (the Kaiser/TYTN II) over this page as well as the references of the good quality of my old and nice Qtek 8310 and certainly the information offered from HTC's site. But in the act, all the information didn't help me to make a good business.
On this theme i will only describe the 2 things witch really disappoint me of my new device.
- The Loudspeaker, i think that the first component to fulfill a multimedia environment is a good sound, without it, is a multimedia device nothing to speak of.
The Orbit 2/HTC Cruise has a very poor sound, after a compare test between some others standard phones like Sony Ericsson K770i and Nokia 6120 classic and the 6500 classic, the results were disappointing. The tone supplied from my device was bad and noisy compared with the tone of the other devices in particularly by high volume (not max.)
- The camera program, i actually believe that the hardware camera is a good component but the control program (Camera for Pocket ver 5.04) is pretty slow and address the camera with a short time delay, only enough by turning the phone quickly from right and left and vice versa to see the slow reaction time of the application. I did the same with the other phones (Nokia, Sony-E) and the results were better, but i must say that the picture quality of the Orbit was in general quite better.
Well, actually I really like my device, but I didn't exceed my expectations at all. I hope you did.
HTC should work better to improve their devices.
Due some people are still thinking to buy an O2 Orbit 2, i just can say, Hands off..!!!! the problems are not only what i wrote above, but some more applications of the phone.
- The Internet Explorer, it crashes the fully functionality of the phone, only a new start removing the battery helps.
- the WLMessenger, it opens only when the O2 is disable by the Network connections. Always cause minor problems.
