XDAIIi Worth Having or an Expensive Gimic?
Hey all,
Im thinking about upgrading my Pocket PC after 2 years of faithful service, I've seen on the O2 site the XDAIIi which Im sure you all know is a phone and PDA. This concept grabbed my interest as I hate carrying around two devices, however is it worth getting? Is it any good? I've hard comments about poor battery life and stuff but I just wandered other peoples comments and real hand experience before I make the bold jump into getting one. Any comments appreciated! |

The people I know who've owned one says that it's a great PDA, but lacking when it comes to being a phone.
Apparently call quality isn't brilliant and the UI really isn't tailored for making calls. Most of them have gone back to a PDA/small phone combination or have settled on a SE P910i, which isn't as good as a PDA but functions much better as a phone. |

I sold my xda2 and went with a Qtek s100 (Jam). It's so tiny and yet does all my old device did, plus i don't need to charge it every darn day!

I would wait, just had a chat with a very friendly manager of an o2 store, firstly this saturday sees new deals coming out for the start of thier new quarter.
And secondly, tomorrow sees the launch of iMode, the new web and email based services from o2. Which, basically give you free access to email, SMS and MMS till April 2006. Matt.
