O2 XDA Serra - User Reviews

  • The HTC Touch Pro under a new name. Feels wrong

  • Definitely from 2008.

  • this phone is just a dream come true.

  • Where can i get some please

  • HTC is actually a Chinese company that manufactures cellphones. O2, on the other hand, is a European brand that gets its cellphones from China. They simply brand the cellphones, they don't necessarily make them. Don't be surprised to see HTC and O2 selling the same cellphones. When you commission a factory in China to make your electronics, you have to surrender 1/2 of your intellectual property rights, allowing them to recopy the design and market it under another name.

  • hmmm an o2 phone? HTC more like

  • pls let me know the price for XDA SERRA thanks

  • it look like a htc diamond touch

  • Are you serious O2. I am sure you stopped making phones cause the phones showed are ancient. Wakey wakey.

  • where di i can get this phone. i cant find in indonesia

  • for a phone launched in 2008 its had an awesome spec which is comparable to today's mid range smartphones..

  • it's beauty full Handset....

  • very nice phone

  • Dear King, I have been using htc touch pro (XDA Serra by O2) for last 2 years. Actually i have used most O2 WM phones for last 7 years. I have just bought an android phone by htc with a large 3.7" screen. My observations & experiences are as under - > One of the gr8 touch screens, resolution, clarity and response. > Best key board i have used, and tried till date. No other phone has real life 5 row key board. > A good camera, a dedicated camera shoot key could have been better though. > Very stable phone. I do not see much on crashing the OS. > On battery performance -Average battery life. With my usage> 2-3 hrs tel calls, 1-2 hrs mails a day, it only last for a day (till let night though)i have to charge it every night :)However i must mention a fact that even after 2 yrs usage i do not see much decline in battery performance! now thats something abt htc quality? Over all a fantastic phone! and I still don't want to sale it even many of my pals after it. I shall rate my touch pro 8.5 on 10. hope this helps all. Regards,

  • This is HTC Touch Pro base.? What happen to O2.? Where their new phone.?

  • ya not bad

  • What happen with O2 company? any model?

  • it's a great phone.but i didn't see O2 create new phone after O2 XDA Serra.where O2?i didn't heard news about O2 long time a go.

  • nice but how it caust?

  • great mobile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • awful phone, touch screen a nightmare as its slow and returns to homepage too much, touch screen activates when ur using the phone, putting people on hold and calling somebody else happens to me frequently with my ear ! Slow and can freeze. battery ok though but thats the only plus point.

  • Great Mobile on seen first time at net

  • Hi i want to purchase this phone so if anyone using this plz tell its feed back and draw back.

  • strangely looks identical to htc touch pro in fact it is htc touch pro with another name

  • Good Phone

  • This is the best fone ever

  • o2 good

  • well hello its a phonnne

  • when did o2 ever build it's own phone it's a o2 branded touch pro manufactured by HTC

  • he had 65k display because win mob don't recognise more that's why

  • hahaha yes its a copy of the HTC touch pro ahahhaha... pff and i bet they thought no one will notize ahhaha xD

  • You said the same thing I thought after looking at the pic.. Its the pure copy of HTC Touch Pro..

  • very poor display(65k colors)!!!

  • this is a awhsome.. i wish i coule really buy it

  • It is a HTC Touch Pro just with an O2 badge on it... don't bother though I've one through work and it's a piece of frustrating junk.

  • why this phone looks like HTC touch pro ?

  • me no like

  • can't touch this :P

  • Samsung is not mother company to LG. LG is a large conglomerate company that stands on it's own. Lg corps specializes in Electronics, chemical, and telecommunication companies.LG has no affiliation with Samsung besides both companies are from South Korea.

  • it's HTC , HTC it's the mother of all phone's , HTC never was just a phone

  • Samsung to LG, are you insane?!

  • Well....Why it looks like HTC? Reason is simple! HTC is the mother company of O2! o2 technology is direct from HTC! ANother example is LG. THe mother company is actually Samsung.

  • Good but a little fishy about it

  • it is htc pro , they supply to O2 to sell it under there name just like they use to do with Imate too.

  • This is not a ripoff of any HTC Phone ... this IS a HTC Phone branded by O2. Just like google branded the NEXUS ONE. It's just like AT&T,Vodafone,Orange branding phones from other manufacturers.

  • Doesnt this company have a little more creativity? I mean this is completely a rip off the HTC touch pro

  • why is it a sad phone

  • this is copy of htc touch pro

  • Yes!!!

  • another copy of HTC Touch Pro ?

  • nice mobile

  • i like O2 cell ... it gud frnd

  • because diz phone always cry.....

  • Why is this a sad phone ? Please give a reason.

  • I agree with you Vikas!

  • Hai khona! Is'nt this not ths HTC?

  • sad phone... dont take it

  • this phone is really nice

  • very nice&comfortable phone i like it.

  • It's true... exactly the same phone,HTc Touch Pro and XDA Serra but with different points...strange how the people react just for the name.

  • very nice and comportable phone .ll be work good.

  • that's wierd, htc touch pro has an average grade of 8 while this has 7 when they're just the same thing For issues about this, its about flashing it to make it better

  • rely nice cell

  • you do realise this phone is made by HTC...

  • what the f dudde...y i look to most of the o2 product is copied frm htc,asus n etc!!! do they have a brain?if they dont hv an idea to do their own y jump into this industry..what a shame..

  • LOLz... HTC is the maker! O2, Qtek, Dopod, etc. are just carrier... but originally the phone itself is designed by HTC... hahaha

  • fail from O2, why do they copy the HTC? There's no point in doing that. HTC can get some serious money from O2 for doing this!

  • lolzzz this is HTC Touch Pro... no difference.. same features,weight,height,color, funcition, buttons.....

  • Pure HTC Copy! :))

  • What about HTC Touch Pro? It's the same phone..

  • Not so good as per my requirement batry back also not so good nd not much powerful

  • Hey. This phone is not a copy of a HTC Touch Pro. It is a HTC Touch Pro. Open the back, remove the battery and compare P/N's. Or better still, visit the HTC site and compare. O2 is a mobile phone carrier and they do not make mobile phones. HTC (High Tech Computer) corporation make mobile phones and license them for use on a number of worldwide networks. Take the HTC Hero for example, it will be available in the UK on Vodaphone with an uglay VF logo on the phone but that doesn't mean VF make the phone!

  • i love ittt so much wooo

  • do you like the phone then mateee

  • it is the htc td just with o2 on it its dumb to its not there phone

  • This fone looks like HTC TD with the QWERT slide :)

  • i have this becaause of work.2 hard 2 use when you are on the phone your ear can make it disconect also wont show names and phone numbers when b/tooching 2 your radio and sceen go`s blank when put down . you will need to open the phone 2 get it back on as you drive this is not good.

  • How Muchh Is Thiisss Phonee ? It Doesnt Say =(

  • how much does this cost?

  • Dis fone is 2expensive n..y not 2much functions n more pixel camera?????

  • Good one dude :D

  • HTC make o2 handsets any way

  • oh come on! you can comment better than that! Didn't you know? these two companies always produce similar units, only different in name... they have for almost a decade, were you asleep all that time? or perhaps you just discovered mobile phone world yesterday?

  • copycat

  • hehehe! it really is an htc phone.. because O2 is a service provider..

  • oh come o2 !!!!!! u could have done beter than that!!!!..............wats the deal with the HTC design????//

  • is it cheaper than the htc

  • Hello ? HTC Touchpro was released this year only and this phone was released last year. How do you think that its a copy of HTC ? Dumb ass!

  • Hi,its a complete copy of htc touch pro.. O2 should have done something of its own rather than copying the htc...

  • SE X1 is made by HTC.... HTC is taking over, sorry took over.

  • How much would this cost damid

  • its not too good.... nokia 98 n omnia is much better than thid

  • price

  • you know i will acualy like to try out this phone can any 1 tell me about it

  • sure, because htc touch pro better than se xperia x1, this phone is htc touch pro ship to O2 branded

  • oh this is gooooooooooooooood and super

  • Remind me of HTC Touch Pro......

  • ok very good

  • where the hell do i get one in Australia?? :(

  • it's only faster than the x1 because it has a lower screen resolution

  • hey guys this phone is realy great and very beter than x1

  • Very disappointed with the change from Stella to Serra� very much a downgrade! The Serra is painfully slow and isn�t nearly as user friendly � someone at HTC or O2 had their head stuck so far up their arse/ass on this one that it is difficult to understand how they managed to find their way into work. Have been a loyal XDA user for years, but will go with Iphone next time� now that Apple have solved �cut & paste� issue etc.

  • Yes, I agree - same here. Very disappointed with the change from Stella to Serra� very much a downgrade! The Serra is painfully slow and isn�t nearly as user friendly � someone at HTC or O2 had their head stuck so far up their arse/ass on this one that it is difficult to understand how they managed to find their way into work. Have been a loyal XDA user for years, but will go with Iphone next time� now that Apple have solved �cut & paste� issue etc.

  • screen is not wide enough

  • I have just had to upgrade from an XDA Stellar to the Serra. I have found it to be one of the most unusable phones I have ever had. Be warned of very slow software and an interface that is trying to ape an iphone and fails miserably. Why cant the phones still have a start key? all in all a bad experience.

  • Yes this is a rebranded HTC touch pro, even the system infomation in the menu on the phone say property of HTC!!! The only difference is the menu colour - mine is blue because it is O2. They keys have a blue number scheme and HTC have green. The menus are the same just the logos are different. I have one and have held a htc touch pro and they are the same phone. even the specs are same and manuals that come with are o2 but the coppyright stuff belons to HTC... go figure Very good phone, the crseen protector can impair thr touch screen sensitivity and it can at time hang on a screen but it basically a mini pc/phone. more chunky tha the Ignito but the slide out key is very sturdy (high hth quality) and makes up for the extra size. All 02 stores have them on diplay but you will be lucky to get one- not becuase they sold out but they do not have any stock, shame really as this is a high quality phone.

  • Incase your all still struggling Qtek is vodafone.....

  • HTC is a worldwide brand which mainly ships in far east, america, middle east and europe. This is the uk equivalent. Very very few providers stock HTC in the uk, which is why if you ACTUALLY look o2, vodafone, orange etc all have the same phones just different names.... In fact I just found this - WITHIN this website so read and try to understand: So stop your unknowledgable rambling for everyones sake..... thanks

  • f.u.c.k this copy!

  • they probebly did it in photoshop...

  • its the same as the touch pro. they just changed the HTC logo, added the model name and changed the highlited keys from green to blue. i have seen lots of phones that are agsactly the same in this site!

  • Isn't this looks the same as HTC touch pro?

  • Looking good

  • aren't they bracking the law of COPYRIGHT ??????????

  • this is just htc touch pro with good battery back up. by the what is the price i n india.

  • what the crap? o2 and touch pro? the world is going insane
