Hi,
1. Yes it has got a built in receiver
2. Yes you can install Tom Tom subject to how many times you have activated it previously. The Orbit can come with CoPilot 6 when obtained through O2, but I still prefer Tom Tom
Good Luck

bear in mind if you use the gprs traffic etc then o2 charge a fortune for their data...
i was after an o2 xda orbit but am going for the t-mobile mda iii compact(?) (same phone but without wifi) as for £7.50 you get essentially unlimited data each month. ok, they dont have wifi, but with pretty much no dta costs is it that important? |

Using TomTom on the device incurs no extra cost unless you use the Plus options such as weather, buddies or traffic. These services require a GPRS connection which you have to pay for by the MB and O2 chsrges are stupidly high compared to other providers - Mike |

I have just received my Orbit and have opted for the TomTom6 route. I can confirm that the software works amazingly well and very fast. This phone/PDA is what TomTom was made for. |
