I've just upgraded from a Mini-S to the Orbit. Yeah the processor speed was a little slow on the Mini-S but wasn't that noticeable really.
The Orbit is amazing! The sat-nav built in is very good, better than my navman system which is a dedicated satnav. Very small phone too considering its features. Apart from the addition of gps the Orbit is exactly the same essentially as the Mini S as they both use Windows Mobile 5.0 so no major differences. The main difference which disadvantage of the Orbit is that it doesnt have a proper keyboard. The slide out keyboard on the Mini S is brilliant, you can type very quickly. The Orbit on the other hand is very fiddly, yes it has handwriteing recognition etc but I find this annoying and slow. The Mini S also has handwriting recognition too but no need to ever use it when you have the slide out keyboard. Overall both are brilliant phones. After now owning them both I think I will be definitely buying XDA's from now on. Compare it to a Nokia or Samsung and they look like kids phones compared to these!
