I wonder how O2 sees that kind of comparison. Helpful from a PR point of view, or not, I wonder. No reference to HTC anywhere in the Xda section on O2's website. I would have thought O2 would prefer the brand to stand on its own feet, as it were. Still, if the HTC platform is well regarded then maybe there could be some advantage in highlighting the platform pedigree. Just musing.

I'm a big fan of HTC phones and have used several - HTC and T-mobile branded. I haven't fired up my O2 yet, but expect that I'll like it - a lot. Neville, it is a HTC device.

I've seen some reviews that say the Xda Orbit 2 is based on the <a href="http://www.htc.com/product/03-product_htctouch_cruise.htm" rel="nofollow">HTC Touch Cruise</a>. It kind of looks similar, I guess. But I imagine such comparison relates to the underlying tech platform not its looks. Either way, it's a neat device which I'll be learning more about.
