Here comes the Xda II mini


xda II mini

Perhaps wanting to follow Apple’s success in expanding the iPod market with the iPod mini, O2 Asia has launched the Xda II mini, and damn if this isn’t a sexy little PDA-phone.

Based on sightings, anecdotal evidence, and some unofficial statements from dealers and telco officials, the Xda II is the number one PDA-phone combo by far in the local market. This new version–smaller and cheaper–should bring nothing but good news to those put off by the size and price of current PDA-phone combos.

On the plus side, the Xda II mini has a fast processor, Bluetooth, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. On the minus side, it doesn’t have a number pad or keyboard–bad news for one-handed heavy texters.

While there’s no official annoucement yet on when it will be available locally, the O2 Asia web site does list several stores in the country where you could expect to buy this baby.

For those curious about the technical specs, the full list is here.

there are only two apps one needs to make any pocketpc phone without a keypad:

Quickey (for texting like using a conventional phone) and PhonePlus (dial your contact’s number quicket than a cell phone)

this pocketpc phone makes a nice buying proposition. i just hope that battery life is good as the hp 6300.

This really is gorgeous! Been waiting for a 1.3 megapix cam and longer battery life since I first saw the XDA II. I can live without wifi and a smaller memory but I can’t take the fact that this XDA mini will have no keypad. I cannot do graffiti and keyboard stylus drives me nuts so this will be a no buy for me.

Will wait for one with the features of the O2 XDA IIs (longer batt, loads of RAM and ROM, faster processor, slider keypad) with a megapixel camera.
