O2 XDA Guide satnav mobile phone
Posted June 25th, 2009 by admin No Comments »
Review Taiwan’s HTC is currently doing very well with its Touch series handsets and it’s been no secret that O2′s very similar XDA range of Windows Mobile phones are actually made by the same company. Indeed, the O2 XDA Guide is very similar to the Touch Cruise, with the focus firmly on satnav and A-GPS, but also incorporating a 2.8in touch screen, 3.2Mp Camera, HSDPA 3G and Wi-Fi.
Locale knowledge: O2′s Xda Guide
The Guide is definitely at the sleek and stylish end of the XDA range, albeit still in an understated, businessy sort of a way. It’s surrounded by gun metal grey plastic with a dark chrome-look band around the sides. It’s small and light at 101x53x14mm and 103g, which also makes it more pocket-friendly than some XDAs. Beneath the touch screen is a metal plate with four buttons: call start and stop, satnav and HTC Footprints – more on that later.
Smack in the centre of this is a large, round D-pad with a spinning circle around its circumference. This can be used to scroll through menus, zoom in and out of web pages or pictures or fast-forward/rewind videos. The display is a 65,000-colour, 2.8in, 320×240 pixel touch screen. The sides feature an elongated volume rocker, USB 2.0 power/headphone slot, a power button on top and a stylus dock. Read the rest of this entry »
