I know theres a few of you guys out there with a XDA orbit. Just to let you know that O2 have just released Windows Mobile 6 OS for it.

Upgrade can be downloaded here :-

Just installed it now and the mobile feels more responsive and quicker

Tomtom6 runs much smoother!

Gets the thumbs up from me!!!

OH MY GOD YOU ARE A STAR!!! I WAS GONNA BUY A WM6 OFF EXPANSYS ISNTEAD OF MY XDA ORBIT!!! WOOO HOOO

Not sure mate.... I would prefer to put an official one on instead of a going for a different phone. Although i know they are essentially the same phone inside.... not sure how easy its to undo if things go wrong.

Is this simply the OS that runs on the HTC Touch?

 

[morgan349]

no its much more, and you can revert back to the o2 if you dont like it...

 

[sneeks]

What do you get in addition to the features found on the Touch?

I'm considering buying a Orbit so this may help make my mind up. It's either that or I hold off more more details regarding the iPhone UK release.

 

[morgan349]

its just so slick. its got an interface thats a spinning cube, different sides have different functions. plus with wm6 theres a new audio manager. the b&b is also much faster than wm6, especially if you overclock the cpu slightly. tomtom runs faster...its just great

 

[HAVE_A_CUP]

Ive had to reinstall my WM5 ROM so I can install the Rom above what a mission!!

 

[sneeks]

Where can I get full instructions to guide me through all I need to do? I'll try it on my friends o2 Orbit which currently has WM 5 installed.

 

[Cheeky_Chappie]

bah!! quite tempted with the above... but ive already upgraded to WM6.. Dont fancy downgrading to WM5.

After downgrading to WM5 do i need to install anything else other than the above .exe? ive heard you need to install another app to enable teh B&B rom to be loaded.

Does the CPU overclocking use up more battery?

 

[morgan349]

its based on wm6 not 5!

you can downgrade too if you ever wanted too...the o2 roms are on xda developers

to install just download and run USPL (this cid unlocks the phone)
download & run the b&b exe file.

easy as that...20 mins and its done.

 

[sneeks]

Not so easy. I cannot get USPL to complete, I'm forever told the ROM data is corrupt. Same happens if I try to install the b&b exe.

EDIT:

Tried running the same program on my work PC and USPL completed without any problems. Now to attempt the upgrade.

 

[sneeks]

Installed and working

 

[HAVE_A_CUP]

Installed and working

Is it just me or was there no messenger or wap settings on there??

 

[sneeks]

The settings are located within Settings/Connections/Network Wizard

 

[morgan349]

glad u like it...so much better than the standard system. Have you worked out the cube?

 

[Cheeky_Chappie]

Cheers mate.. put this on last night.. Went straight from the O2 WM6 to this. all went on easy.. the cube is ace.. impressed quite a few people with it.

only problem i got is i can't send MMS messages.. SMS are fine but MMS wont send for some reason.. Any ideas?
