Review : O2 Xda Atom : (small) size matters !
October 13, 2005 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

The fact is that several people got used to small size cellphones and overly big size of smartphones and PDA phones constitutes a psychological barrier for them to switch ... so it is good to know that Quanta that is starting to produce Windows Mobile phones, is able to produce actually smaller devices than HTC!

Just take a look at this photo, where you can see from the left the O2 Xda Atom made by Quanta and the smallest Pocket PC phone from HTC (HTC Magician) to the right:



... where you can see that Quanta product is smaller in all dimensions - it is not only thinner but also shorter!

While it is totally unclear whether O2 Xda Atom will be available also in Europe (O2 Asia and O2 Europe are separate business operations) or USA, it may be that some operators or distributors will pick it and start selling also "in the west"!

Here are some highlights about the O2 Xda Atom
  • mini Pocket PC phone with FM radio and Wi-Fi inside
  • 2nd Pocket PC phone made by Quanta (the first one is this one)
  • smaller than HTC Magician (i.e. Orange SPV M500, i-mate JAM, T-Mobile MDA Compact, Xda mini, etc)
  • offers mini-SD card slot, not full size SD card slot - but since Wi-Fi is already included it may not be a problem at all
  • powered by Windows Mobile 5.0
  • to be released in Asia by O2 Asia around December 2005
