O2 Xda Atom

The Xda Atom has Wi-Fi, a 2-megapixel camera and runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, yet shares the same dimensions as the Xda II Mini.

Reader Opinion
Layout is quite nice but the OS is quite slow. It always lag. summore the camera is so slow to detect. the phone fuctions are lousy, but the Pocket PC functions and connections to internet are pretty good... Overall, this phone is quite nice and the functions of this phone are ok, just the defection of the phone's functions.

O2 Xda II Mini

Following the recent launch of the Xda IIs and Xphone II and a lot of speculative buzz over the II mini, O2 today finally unveiled its latest and smallest PDA-phone to date.

Reader Opinion
Really annoying to use. While the pda functions are great, when using it as a phone to text someone you have to flick the key screen out of the way to search for you contact then flick it back up again. It is difficult and tedious.
