Getting lost has never been so much fun! No I have not lost it (so to speak) but with the newly announced O2 Xda Orbit, UK users will be able to access full GPS functionality thanks to the built-in GPS chipset. Thus there is no need to invest in a separate navigational device as the O2 Orbit gives the best of both worlds!

The O2 Xda Orbit come pre-loaded with the CoPilot Live sat nav package from ALK Technologies which includes complete maps of UK and Ireland and can calculate detailed routes in seconds. Other navigational features also include; London Congestion Charge avoidance, automatic day/night settings, avoid toll roads, fastest or shortest routing and walking mode. Via the nifty Planning mode one can calculate and review complete trips in advance and through the CoPilot’s integrated internet tracking, messaging and destination sending service, you can view a location in real-time.

Let's not forget that the O2 Orbit is actually a smartphone and thus one comes across features like; 2.0 mega pixel camera, MP3 player, radio and WiFi functionality and the Windows Mobile OS 5 software. It is equipped with a 2.8 inch colour TFT LCD touch screen and also includes video capabilities, FM radio (87.5Mhz–108.5Mhz) and MP3/AAC player. The O2 Xda Orbit with the optional CoPilot SatNav pack is available now at the http://www.o2.co.uk/ and prices vary according to rate plans.
