it sure is an awesome "foneputer". aside from the occasional "freeze" - handwriting recog is great, connectivity excellent and wi-fi surfing rocks. My router is picked up till 15 meters. Found that voice command app is handy - though the one i got is still not very good/sensitive. 2 way data transfer via BT works well.
QUESTIONs :
1. can BT handle voice commands or just basic call features?
2. whats the latest / best voice command software?
3. speech to txt and vice versa possible? ( ala Tablet PC )
thanks guys!

A well designed PDA with good connectivity features. Tip: You will find the XDA 2s freezes a lot. To fix this get rid of a uneccessary file> in file explorer/windows/startup/ Delete the single file called "connection." This will remove the O2 symbol from the start menu task bar and decrease the similtaneous network connections that slows the device down and causes it to crash. It works much better, faster and smoother once you have done this and this can be restored with the device software cd should you ever want to restore it. The wireless lan works at far ranges up to 15 metres providing you have a good wirless router. A divx pocket media player needs to loaded where the windows media player does not play many formats and does not function too well. With a high capacity memory card in the expansion slot you can load lots of exciting pocket programs and utilities and have lots of fun. The querty keyboard helps with online activities like banking and msn messanger. The battery life can be improved, solution always carry a backup. Use microsoft pocket pc theme generator to create your themes and manually copy the pocket pc theme file directly into the windows directory to display the theme in the "today" theme feature under personal settings. I give the xda 2s 9 out of 10. Question: Can the blue tooth headset only route the phone feature or can it be used for all audio output like music on the device?

I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on between the O2 XDAIIs and the Treo 650 as I am debating right now between the two, both are a little pricey here in Canada and seem to have about the same rating level, the reason I'm leaning towards the O2 is the bigger screen area ... Any opinions/suggestions from anyone who has used both/either ?
Thanks, Daniel...

Pick the xdaIIs. had mine for a month and still having a blast using it.. the keyboard is very usable.. Never had any problems with my unit.. it froze once but it is just normal for any phone.. P910i is the worst choice.. while the 9500 is a brick.. and both is symbian, which for me is the worst Operating System..

If I were you, I'd choose a windows mobile device over the symbian 9500.. Not only is the xda IIs more powerful but it also has the best softwares available.. From a tech junkie's perspecive, A symbian device is no match to the Windows mobile device.. Also, a 9500 is bigger and uglier, in my opinion, than the xda IIs.. Wi-Fi works better with the xda IIs too.. I really can't find any good things to say about the 9500.. I'd recommend the xda IIs..

Just saw one, And it is most absolutely the best-looking pocket pc ever.. LOL. The xda2 Mini is also good but it is ugly IMO.

XDA IIs rocks!! It has got to be the most handsome pocket pc to date. I have an XDA IIs and never experienced the problems being mentioned here by other "supposed" users. With all the possible connectivity options like Wi-Fi, bluetooth, infrared, GPRS, Quadband.. It's got everything. The screen is fantastic. The battery lasts much longer than the XDA II. Keyboard is very very usable. As a matter of fact, it is better than the clie UX40 I had before and way better than the treo.. Pocket PC rocks. Anyone who gets to use a pocket pc would never look back into there "palm" days..

these x range pdas are cool but the pdas are not as good as tablet pc's. you get 20gb hdd and above with tablet pc's and now there is a very small compact one with windows xp os called OQO Model 01 and it is smaller in size than most pdas. it is awesome it has an integrated slide down qwerty keyboard. you can install lots of pc games like gta san andreas and all too. awesome only thing is the price hmmmmm.

2. every now & then we have to reallign the screen
3. even we performed soft-reset, it still hangs
4. u've no option but to factory-reset. loading will coz u more times.

I've never faced with any prob with my previous XDA 2

I got my o2 xda ii about 2 weeks, it doesn't come with a memory card. So, naturally, i bought 1. after inserting the card, I can read whatever is in the card, unfortunately, I can't create new folders without soft reset. copying files is also a problem. It hangs after each of this request. But after the soft reset, the files and the folders I've created is there. Help.
