CNET Asia Review

By Lee Chee Wee

Excellent

8

out of 10

View score

The good: Quadband; zippy performance; good wireless connectivity of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and infrared.

The bad: Quirky slide-out keyboard; heft.

The bottom line: O2 spices up the popular Xda PDA phone with the sorely needed Wi-Fi and thumbboard.

It Can Be upgraded to WM5 !



Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Opinion:
If you are using older versions of the it is Buggy. But the latest ROM is Very Stable.
I've upgraded to WM5 and everything (Wi-Fi, Blue Tooth, Media Player, Gprs, GSM, )works wonderful. more info about upgrading goto here : forum.xda-developers.com...

In My opinion, this thing beats even some of the newer pda phones on the market.

btw .... mine is running at 472mhz using XCPUscalar. 520mhz is possible too but the battery drains faster.

don't write this baby off guys ! it's got alot of hidden potential !!!

 

What a piece of junk!! Buy PALM, Dopod, or HP!!!



Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: Large screen, and that is about it....
Cons: MS Operating System, constant "hanging," VERY POOR Customer Service
Opinion:
My wife bought this for me in Hong Kong when I got a promotion at work, as she was thinking with all my traveling it would be good for me to have a pwerful PDA/phone/work on e-mails. Needless to say, I was very happy.
But that was short-lived. I attempted to register my IIs and the web page would not let me. I sent an e-mail to O2 and they did the usual reply of they will look into this. Nothing happen for 3 weeks, so I re-submitted. Again, got a standard reply and then nothing for 2 weeks. Submitted a 3rd time, and same standard reply. I sent a reply to that person and they said the usual "we have placed your issue at the top with our Help Desk." 2 weeks later, nothing. I called O2 to complain and all I did was get a the "phone-tag" that saw me ending up talking to some guy in the ... Read more

 

Good Choice for PDA-phone



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Wi-fi Connectivity, Good Design
Cons: the older ROM is not stable .. upgrade ur ROM ..!
Opinion:
I also heard that the previous XDA IIs's has the lack in wi-fi and the sliding keyboard especially those released in Indonesian market in early 05. I don't know anymore about that issues but i've already told that's issues was fixed with the mid-05 releases.

This is my 2nd PDA after my 6365 but i suggest to upgrade the ROM to 1.40 and it make the immediate impact cuz it's more stable and i could use mp3 files as ringtone
