O2 Xda IIs

By Ella Morton on 18 March 2005

The cool factor is high, the options for customisation are plentiful, and the quad-band antenna makes it perfect for travellers. Despite a few minor drawbacks, the O2 Xda IIs is a solid, feature-packed choice if you can handle the steep price tag.

  I have a O2 XDAII (previous version). These types of phones are excelent and unique, they are by far the best smartphone in the business.

  • Good: Keyboard
    Windows OS
    Does not turn off (a feature)
    100% customisable
  • Bad: Unable to upgrade OS since it is on ROM

  Better than i expected. Did sort of break it while updating the ROM where it got stuck in bootloader mode which is fixed by running the ROM upgrade again once windows xp or whatever is restarted.
  
  The other problem was that it kept freezing. This is sorted by doing a hard reset and using the corperate version (i think its corperate and not personal) but one of them doesnt install the Active O2 program, which causes it to freeze.

  • Good: Sliding Keyboard.
    Rotational Screen Options (Doesnt rotate handset, only screen).
  • Bad: Continously freezes (unless you remove the O2 Active software).
    Slightly bulky when you sometimes dont want it to be.

  Very good combination phone and PDA

  I’ve had this phone for 12 months and have not been disappointed, performs well
  Under all conditions. Easy to read screen, do not need key pad, quicker with screen
  using spell prompt.
  Did not have a problem battery life, had charger in car when needed. Connection to net was fast and reliable.

  Superior than my old Treo 600

  Great screen size, heavy duty and friendly interface.
  My only negative is "Where the heck I can buy XDA IIs styluses?"

  OK

  The phone is excellent, for keeping a diary of all events, phone numbers, contacts etc. I found recently that the phone does not fully support BMW bluetooth. It does connect and allow you to receive calls, but it will not allow you to use the onboard computer, to access and download the address book.
