It may not neutralise plaque acid, but there’s not a lot else O2’s XDA Orbit successor can’t do.

Aptly named the Orbit 2, it packs the latest Windows Mobile 6, 3G and Wi-Fi into a “sleek, stylish portable device”. That’s how O2 describe it, anyhow.

It also sports built-in GPS, which is just as well as O2 have generously loaded it with CoPilot Live 7 for all your sat-nav and live vehicle tracking needs.

The usual Windows Mobile goodies are present and correct, such as push email and Microsoft Office. But all work and no play makes Orbit a dull phone, so there’s also a three-megapixel camera, MP3 player and FM radio for a spot of XFM on the way to the office.

Bag one on the tariff of your choice at an O2 store from today.
