Review: HTC P 3300 is a good phone. The absence of key board does not make problem. How ever the on board key is excellent for writing SMS, Mails as compare to other phones. You have to realy struggle for pressing the keys twice thirce or more. Here I found very easy to reply sms mails.
Pros: Good out look , fast operating ,
Cons: There should have been more memory like higher variants. You have to really struggle for saving memory either by deleting mails sms or other word files. Of course sprite back up is ok

Review: Before upgrading to the O2 XDA Orbit I had the XDA Mini S and before that the XDA2. The XDA2 was great but a bit big to carry around. The Mini S was smaller but still too thick due largely to the slide-out QWERTY keyboard that I thought would be useful and proved to be a complete waste of time - and space. The Orbit has done away with the keyboard and is really impressively neat, thin and compact. Great handwriting recognition and a neat soft keyboard are much better than a tiny keyboard that moves the device all over the place as you press the keys.
With email, phone, Microsoft Office, camera, mp3 player, bluetooth, WiFi, media player, FM radio and a great display, it really is a fantastic little unit. Even the annoying telescopic stylus of the Mini S (that used to fall out) has been replaced. GPS is included and with the CoPilot 6 Live software (currently free from O2 depending on contract) it really is amazing. On a £35/month 1 year contract from O2 the complete package including Satnav cost me the amazing sum of NOTHING!
An absolute stunner, highly recommended!
A shame that Microsoft doesn't include Voice Command with Windows Mobile 5. Buy version 1.6 for around £20 - you will be stunned by the functionality including voice dialling by name or number, spoken announcements of who's calling you and an option to read out your texts and emails - and all over your wireless headset.
Pros: Compact, great display, good 2MP still/video camera, WiFi, internet sharing (to access the internet using the Orbit connected to your PC via Bluetooth) and great Satnav.
Cons: Not 3G - but apart from being able to use the phone and the internet at the same time who needs it yet? How many people do you know who use video calling? Until the quality goes up and the price comes down dramatically this is an all-round great device.
