My O2 XDA Atom

Pocket pc review : A bit different in other vehicles Windows smartphones, The new O2 XDA Atmos came with a full keypad and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and enable O2 XDA Atmos can be used seamlessly in both modes. The buttons are easy to use and the keyboard is small and nicely designed. Atmos is made in two parts, with the keyboard on the lower part. This slides out from a long edge of the Atmos when needed. When you slide it out the screen flicks itself automatically from candybar-style portrait format to landscape.

O2 XDA Atmos using Windows Mobile 6.0 as operating system, and all major software you expect, including the method push e-mail support and Pocket versions of Microsoft Office.

O2 Xda Atmos is well specified for over-the-air communications with a tri-band UMTS-HSDPA from the aircraft at high speed data, quad-band GSM, GPRS and EDGE. Wi-Fi built in and Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo audio capabilities.

Unfortunately, as a phone format device rather than a PDA-style one, O2 XDA Atmos has no GPS. Felt sorry for ...

Has a front-facing 2 megapixel camera, VGA-resolution camera for two-way video calling.

The screen is relatively large at 2.4 inches from corner to corner, and it seems to dominate the handset. But the lack of a touch-screen is a notable omission. In general, it will be better for O2 XDA Atmos to have a touch-screen, as it makes it easier to get around. However O2 XDA Atmos's sliding keyboard is easy to use and really luxurious, with the relatively large screen.
