Detailed review of O2 xda II - one of the best Pocket PC phones ever
October 22, 2003 [Pocket PC phone] | By anonymous 1.

xda II is an exceptional cell phone, not only because it has built-in Bluetooth and built-in camera, but also because it features "SDIO Now!" compatible card slot that enables usage of Wi-Fi or other SDIO accessories. If you need Wi-Fi inside of your cell phone, then this phone may be better choice for you than a Microsoft smartphone.


(on picture above: explanation how the built-in camera can be used)

I get the feeling that this Pocket PC is the most complete device available today. Yes, it misses built-in Wi-Fi but thatīs something you can expand with t Wi-Fi SD card anyway and if you also add this LAN feature to the xda II it supports PAN, LAN and WAN - in just one device! Thatīs really amazing!

But anyway, the hard and software features are amazing enough anyhow even without Wi-Fi support and the device convinced me for several reasons:
  • Itīs the most up to date and state of the art hardware you can get today for Pocket PCs (Windows Mobile 2003 for Phone Edition, XScale, 128 MB RAM, 64 MB ROM, GSM, GPRS and Bluetooth)
  • Itīs not heavier or larger then other Pocket PCs in this calls (HP iPAQ H 5000 series)
  • It includes the most useful software by default and you can start using it right out of the box
Maybe there is one disappointment and thatīs the price. While you will get if from PPCW.Net for 849 US$/Euro itīs even not cheaper if you buy it from O2 (Germany) without a contract. There it will costs 799 Euro (499,95 Euro if you subscribe for a 24 month contract).
