1. How is the overall performence?
Overall performance is excellent - I had no problems: phone performance unaffected whilst using Co-Pilot SATNAV.

2. Does it hang? New version is a vast improvement on previous version of the ROM which frustratingly DID 'hang' and was worse than no phone at all.

3. Picture qulity? Sufficient; loses something when compared with 5Mb of Nokia N95 etc. but good enough to see what you are looking at on PC screen or in printed document. As a device for going to site, logging data (including photos), uploading to server and preparing and emailing reports I haven't foud anything capable of eating the XDA series.

4. Sound quality in handsfree and speaker?
Again - 'adequate'. The XDA is not an iPOD, neither does it pretend to be one. Media player will play store mp3s and the speaker and microphone are sufficient to carry out conversations while driving -although there is a little vibro distortion if turned to full volume.

5. Batery life?
Battery life is about 6 hours full use of SATNAV / camera (30 or so pictures) / internet / phone, but will last two days of moderate non-SATNAV use, making and taking calls, txts, etc.

6. Use of office application?
EXCELLENT! One of the few devices where you can CREATE and EDIT Word and Excel documents in addition to viewng them. Powerpoint and Acrobat also installed but I haven't had much success viewing emailed attachments - probaly ecause I insist on using Yahoo rather than Outlook. BTW, Yahoo Go is an astonishingly good add-on. I've also added Vpainter and SpoonNotes for colour sketching and there is a CAD program I've downloaded and played with.

7. Anything else u thik important.
The XDA will take stacks of 3rd party software without complaint, provided you install to a large memory card. I'm just starting to run into trouble after two years of use ecause I'm encountering the limitations of the on board memory. Points against? Well, answering incoming calls can be a pain without firing up Co-Pilot (I've now swapped button usage) and with high memory use dialling and writing txt can take seemingly forever. The onscreen keyoard is a ind, but provided you have otyh hands free and god eyesight it gets the jo bdone exceedingly well. I've since installed iDialler in an attempt to dial and txt with finger or thumb. Mixed results, there. Handwriting recognition is good if you put in the practice and have it set up right, otherwise don't bother.
This is a phone for work; a jeep, not a pimpmobile -and as such it is almost perfect.
