Question O2 XDA Orion / Qtek 8310 / Imate SP5 / HTC Tornado

Anybody got one of the phones in the title (Windows Mobile 5.0 phone).

If you have, what's the battery life like, standby time for a full charge, mix of standby and talktime? How good is the screen and what is the phone reception like?

My SE K700i has crap reception where we are (can't even get a signal), but my old Nokia 3510i is a lot better (gets a signal, clear as anything in certain rooms).

Thought it might be useful as a phone (durr ) and also as a mobile GPS navigation (rather than my bulky PDA).

All opinions (and alternatives for a GPS capable mobile) welcome

YHM (and no missus pics!) I'm sure she'd be pleased to hear that you want pics of her.....I'll let her sort that out with you next time we see you (if ever!).

You're in for a right thump (and not from me!) when we meet next You'll have to pop over for a coffee (from our nice coffee machine).

Anyway, anyone got more opinions on the phones in the thread title?
