I just picked up an XDA Orbit from o2 and I have to say that it's AWESOME!

Like the upcoming iPhone, there is no keypad, everything is entered vie the touch screen. Unlike the iPhone you have to use a stylus unless you are a girl with long fingernails.
I bought the
missing sync and it works perfect with my MBP. I did have to change a few settings here and there beforehand but it works like a charm.
To set up my .mac email was a breeze as the phone has an imap setting for email. All I had to do was enter my email address and password. You can then set it to check for email every 1 minute to one hour etc...
I guess I'm just really happy that I have such a compact device that also has built in Sat Nav! Wow. It works awesome too. I live in London and I've used both in the car and in "walking mode". Works like a dream.
In nine months when the iPhone comes out here, I'll surely get it as I think the UI will be awesome but unitl then I have this and so far I am loving it.
Oh and it's very small!
