A bad choice

Sep 29, 2006

Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: It's smart, easy to synchronise with ms outlook
Cons: Abysmal service,unstable OS, problematic at times
Opinion:
I have been using the phone for almost 5 months. I should say my experience with Xphone IIm is terrible.

The Operating system is very unstable, it hangs very often, especially during process of transfering a file.

Worse are the hardware and O2 service. The right menu keypad was unsensitive after I used for 1 month, hence I sent the phone to service center. It took 5 working days to repair.

I thought that I could use the phone happily ever after. However, new problems arised. The phone hangs even more frequently - about 5 times a day, specially during charging or even standing idle.

Hence I sent the phone for another service. Yet, they only updated the software without addressing the problems with frequent hanging. Not only that, my phone cannot even detect the SD card which is inserted properly now.

My advice is do not buy this phone.

If you need a smartphone, I recommend Dopod 585 which has the same design as Xphone IIm but much better specs such as 1.3 mp rather than vga camera, windows mobile 5.0, rather than windows mobile 2003.
