Advantages: Does everything you could need! Disadvantages: Mounting the phone in the cradle
...now, I bought it through o2 for £99. This is a MUST for anyone who likes gadgets, it really does have everything and DOES everything!
Firstly it is a great phone - easy to use touchscreen or stylus operation, good sound quality. The contacts list is easy to use, allowing for storge of huge amounts of data per person.
I can acces smy POP3 emails with ease anywhere through the GPRS service from o2, that works very well, not as slow as you might think. ... ...control facility.
I contacted o2 regarding tekky email settings and got email replies within a couple of hours - so tekky people don't worry.
You can watch encoded movies and videos, I've been watching some episodes of futurama and a couple of films on the train, you can fit a SD card in the top, I have 1 gig of storage for all my files, works a treat!
The screen is nice and large, 65k colours, (65K Colours, 3.5", 240x320) which is actually the ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of O2 XDA IIi
Advantages: Superb at what it does Disadvantages: Has a fragile and expensive flaw... as does the operator!
...I even looked at. And O2 were, too. Decent tariffs and problem free custom up until now. But like with any customer orientated company, you find out how good they really are when you have a problem.
And now I know!
Cheers,

PS. Not sure why it asked for "Quality of Shave". I answered poor because I didn't think it'd cope with a wet shave on a bleary eyed, cold monday morning!!! LOL ...

Advantages: All In One Media Centre, small and affordable. Disadvantages: Only purchased with contract from O2.
If your into your music, video, pictures... want a phone, and want to check emails on the go then you've got a wonderful piece of kit here.
This allows to you store virtually unlimited numbers, come with a 400Mhz processor, and offers a real plus with a SD card slot for expansion, many pda's lose out when they limit what you can store and do with the pda, but this is superb.
Xda 2 I'm afraid can only be purchased from a stocker like O2, who offer ... ...with the smaller ones, but I got it when it first came out at a massive £399 with a £40/month contract, alot of money to fork out, but after a year and half I've had no troubles, upgraded to second version of OS, and have added more space with SD card.
I'm finding new features including these recently...
- I can watch DVD's on the Pda
- I can download from the internet
- I can chat on MSN
- I get 100k free per day to browse the internet
- I ...

Advantages: It Has/Is PDA, Phone, Windows Mobile 2003, Wifi, Bluetooth Disadvantages: Battery Could Be Better
This is an excellent Mobile Phone/PDA
The PDA aspect of this device can pretty much handle anything you can throw at it with its 128mb ram and 500+mhz processor.
The 3.5" screen is perfect for watching movies on the go (if your memory card is large enough)
The internal 128Mb persistent storage is also handy for what ever you want to store on it (personally I use it for mp3s and backups)
Features and opinions
IrDA - I have only ever used this ... ...is slow IR on the device)
Bluetooth - I Have NEVER had a problem with the Bluetooth on this device it has always been reliable and fast no matter what i have connected it to (Phones, PCs, Printers etc..)
WIFI - The range for this is superb fast and reliable as with Bluetooth I have never had a problem with this apart from the fact that using wifi reduces battery life ALOT
Phone - The phone aspect of this PDA is not as good as it could have been ...

Advantages: Sleek, stylish for a pocket PC Disadvantages: Multiple lockups and incompatible with Tom Tom sat nav
...as play so the best O2 could offer me was the very latest XDA IIi. As I opened the pack I was struck by the gleaming sophistication of this device and could not wait to begin testing it. Unfortunately it was not long after starting it that the cracks began to emerge. I received my first lockup very quickly and from this moment on it was very much a case of finding it locked up once in a while and having to restart the system using the soft reboot ... ...using Tom Tom 5, which O2 have just acknowledged has an issue with this handset, which it should not have. Tom Tom are investigating.
When it was working it was good and really helped with PDF viewing for my work but it was so frustrating to return to the device to make a call and find it had hung. The issue with these XDAs/PDAs is that they do not have a hard drive so everything new has to be loaded directly into RAM. This means if corruption occurs ...

Advantages: Fast processor, impressive camera, numerous features Disadvantages: huge when in carry case
The O2 Xda IIi isn't a revolutionary addition to o2's smartphone lines, but with a better processor and simple interface it's still a very appealing device. The XDA IIi continues the XDA ranges history of being well engineered and packed with features that make it the perfect mobile office, camera, phone, e-mail, web-browser and just about everything else. Its packs a 520mhz processor, 1.3 MP camera, 128 mb flash memory and lots of pre installed ... ...had mine since May and can't fault the phone or the service I have received. I actually left o2 18 months ago to get a 3G phone and regretted it from the start and couldn't wait to get back to o2 and thought this was the perfect replacement for me. ...
