Having got one on its release date, i nearly returned it due to it crashing A LOT!
Simply do a hard reset and do a BASIC install. The o2 Active software on the Today screen is the culprit.
Now i never have issues with it, i love it to bits! The o2 500 tariff is fantastic (not that i'm biased because i work for o2 :P )

This one looks like the i-mate one. They both look cool though.

Can anyone help with a memory problam. My storage memIory keeps going down even though I havent downloaded anything to the phone memory.

Also when I try and downlaod something off the internet with the exec the file will just automatically try and download to the phone. On the XDAIIi you was always asked where you want the file to be downloaded and you could choose storage card but the exex doesnt do this. Do I need to change something in settings somewhere?

I will def be getting one of these next month. Popped into an O2 store last week to have a look at it. They have an amazing offer on which will last till the end of the year. The tariff is called "New O2 500" (12 months contract for any i-mode or 3G phone) and as you'd guess you get 500 min xnet, 100 txt, free voicemail and ITS rates (good international rates). Plus for the first 6 months you get to choose 1 of 3 treats 1. Double min & txt 2. 300 extra txt 3. 300 extra evening & weekend min. Personally I will go for the first option.

I will be using this to get my emails when out and about or abroard on business and when I get home I will check my emails normally on my laptop. Now, I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me... When I get my emails on the XDA Exec does this then delete them from the email server so I can't download them on to my laptop when I get home ? When check my emails now on my SE K750i it will leave the email on the email server so when I check my emails via outlook express on my laptop it then download them and delete them from the server, which is the way I want it. Please can someone more technical than me clarify this ???

Many Thanks.

I have had this device for about 2 weeks or so now. Its a great device but you need to have a clear idea of what your going to use it for. Its too bulky if you want a found to 'occasionally' browse the web or 'occasionally' get your email. As a PDA its great, PPt, Word & Excel work just great. Yes, it can slow down and removing O2 Active definitely helps. I think that it is very well thought out with effect use of hot keys and screen shortcuts. If you have the need for a combined device, get a bluetooth headset and enjoy the freedom. If you are only going to be a casual user, look elsewhere. The key is, is it fit for purpose.. the answer is Yes, Yes, Yes. 9/10

Great machine, but alot chunkier and heavier than my previous XDAII.

Connects to the internet in seconds without any problems, and the phone is a big improvement on the previous model too, being clearer and better when on speakerphone.

Not convinced about the battery life, being long enough, only time will tell, but apart from that, seems good.

Windows Mobile 5.0 is again more stable than 2003, making it a better overall package.

Buy one, apart from the size, you wont be disapointed.

Had it for a week...totally awesome! especially its keyboard and voice commander (use it when driving)..not too bulky if u are used to carry PDAs around...processing speed is slower compared to xda2i, but still acceptable.

Hi. Does anybody experience the screen having a slight "bubble" in the middle of the screen? I notice this when using my tap instrument. I don't find it happening on the sides of the screen, because there the protective layer is very close to the touch screen.. but I do find it in the middle. Is this a defect? Thanks.XDA EXEC SCREEN ISSUE

If you are having losts of system crashes or poor performance for your exec, do a hard reset, select coperate setting using code 0506 and it will boot up with out o2 active installed,Havent had a screen freeze in 2 weeks and performs a lot better genrally

Really bad! Just returned mine to O2. This is a truly awful bit of kit. The processor isn't big enough to run several tasks at once. It's heavy, too big and won't take a drop on the floor - changing for a samsung D600. Had the exec for three days and had nothing but reset after reset because the device kept locking up and crashing. Poor signal strength also. Keep Away from this. It's real bad and al your mates will laugh at you when you pull it out of your pocket.
