O2 XDA Atom - Phone Review O2 XDA Atom - Windows Mobile 5.0

15 March 2006
Written by Albert Malik


In Summary

The O2 XDA Atom is a powerful device that combines business applications with multimedia, thanks to Windows Mobile 5.0 and the inbuilt hardware features that characterise the Atom. It does have its share of bugs, like any Windows device, but combining a two megapixel camera with an FM radio, music player, stereo speakers and full PDA functionality, the triband GSM-capable Atom is up there in the list of all-in-one devices available in the market today.

The Atom is available in Australia from electronics and phone retailers for around $1200 and ships with a one year warranty.
