O2 XDA Star - User Reviews

  • cool cell.....

  • Its really Worth it.

  • no not at all.

  • How cute they want to be HTC touch dual

  • Can Xda Star read 8 GB mini SD Card??? and how much the maximal capacity of mini SD Card that can i use in my XDA Star???

  • is this fone useful in any way ?? just curious . :] xoxo ,, gossip girl S.C.

  • where can I get a conversion program for my o2 xda star from German to English?

  • Someone interested in this phone??I have 13 units and all are very cheap. You can reach me at mail above.

  • very very very poor support from o2. believe me. i've used 2 devices (xda2 & xphone2) from o2.

  • how to reset the xda o2 star

  • There is no real "redesign". In practice, the "top" operators "ask" for special designs from manufacturers, so that they get a feature (SW of HW) that no-one else can offer. Like Nokia 6300 with WLAN. Specially for the request of VF. It is now available for other of course. Most cases it is hardly more than putting the logo on the cover. I even remember Vodafone type of mobiles being sold back in 2002 :) But don't remember any more who was the real manufacturer. They had a contract that the given model is only sold for VF. Sso it is nothing more than marketing. And of course the original manufacturer would be stupid to offer the same quality when he can make his own profit as well.

  • TO dHARAM that was the point of the phone, O2 redesigns HTC phones and sells them. HTC manufacters them too.

  • To Phydeaux: Try for comparison :) But should you be too lazy for that: - First of all, E90 is on the market - E90 has a much bigger dispaly - Subjective, but I get the freaks from this 20 keys full keyboard. I am writing e-mails primary from my phone (including this one), and I am still not satisfied with even what E90 has (the best for me was E70) - XDA has handwrite recognition as an advantage - XDA has a quicker processor but my experiance is that Symbian is still quicker than Windows Mobile - I would die without WLan nowdays, wich the XDA does not have - E90 has a stronger battery (which I still drain in 12 hours!) - And E90 is heavy like hell. You can always hit your attacker with it with a chance of cousing heavy injury :) So all-in-all, the two units are just not for the same purpose. - XDA is a feature packed PDA with an integrated phone. Keeps you organised. Like the IPaq-s I used to have for years. - E90 is a portable computer which you can make phone calls with should you desire. Kepps you at work on the road / flight Consider what you need the unit for, before comparing. I still use my old Siemens M35 when going out raftin. Breaks less often, than I do.

  • It's a shame that this more expensive function of the touch does not have WLAN

  • So what does the e90 have that htc/o2 don't have?

  • Carbon copy of HTC Touch Dual...Looks the same and cant find any difference in features 2 except for the size of RAM n ROM

  • O2 is more of an euro style while HTC is more asian, little changes inside though.

  • when will people realise that htc make these handsets 4 o2!! If u want a proper buissness handset then go for the e90 it rules the exec market for features!!

  • you should see the reviews of the O2 atom, the O2 exec and especially the O2 life. Do a simple search eg. o2 atom life then add user reviews, complaints, problems, issues etc. in google. wow. i was amazed. Id bought 1 atom exec, the phone had problems then i bought another 2 atom xda life phones for my business and the longest life i had out of the 3 phones is 4 months. I mean this xda pda had everything go wrong from loose screen, to buzzing speakers, no sound, constant hard resets, dropouts of calls, poor battery, poor photos etc. then i searched to see what others were saying about the O2 atom life and i couldnt believe it. Not only is the phone getting a roasting on this website but check out zdnet australia, cnet asia and cnet and mobile asia and other websites and you will see the o2 phones are rating below 5 out of 10 with a LOT OF ANGRY users out there. check youtube.com and you will see videos being put on there eg. search O2 atom life I forgot to mention as a warning to those even in the slightest considering buying an Atom XDA life pda phone or the atom exec or any pda, added to the list below. the phone is not as fast as the makers claim in fact its bloody slow! and the phone freezes constantly. I mean, the phones buttons stopped working soon after i bought the phone. This phone is extremely poor and i would encourage people to start making videos and posting to sites like youtube and getting out there that O2 need to be taught a consumer backlash and lesson about rolling out highly overpriced products (I paid AUD$1150 for my O2 life x 2). SEE MY VIDEO Cheers

  • i own an o2 atom exec since more dan 1 year 6 months and im totally impressed wid its performance its a rough and tough pda wid evtremly gud features ... in between i tried usin an htc but the softwares o2 has is amazing and the speed is way better than htc .... comparing o2 with htc , htc may hav better features but o2 has way way way better perfiormance... and my htc stopped workin in 2 weeks .... where as my o2 has been workin without any problems !!! cheers

  • o2 always breaks down after some period of time... I used to be a big fan.. owned O2 XDA IIS, Mini, Atom, graphite, none of em is worth it because of its low reliability and constant freezing... seriously go to HTC products...

  • ei guys, pls tell me more. . . i'm planning on buying an O2 but after reading your opinions, i'm definitely having second thoughts. hope you can enlighten me more. thanks

  • nice phone but, noticed that O2 can't produce a good design it all looks dull, with this O2 XDA STAR it has less ROM than the touch dual...why O2 can't make at least the same features to compete....is this phone coming in UAE?

  • buying an o2 is the way to hell another hell fom o2 the after sales sevice is like moving into hell

  • I cant believe this does not have GPS

  • HTC touch look-alike.Wonder how O2/HP/i-mate are going to sell their phones with their primary phone supplier,HTC is itselp in the market ??

  • incase no one notice the touch dual has more ram this has less

  • i like it, but still prefer asus p535 or eten x500+...

  • Its is a HTC touch dual

  • same size as the touch dual. same proccessor. have O2 finally gone back to HTC ???

  • Looks like a Touch Dual based handset with a custom casing like the orbit is a modified Artemis... The QWERTZ layout suggests that the pic is the german version... they seem to get a lot of the decent handsets first... in any case look out for o2 UK discontinuing the Graphite ready for this!

  • O but this keypad should make it very uncomfartable...

  • I liked the shape very very much... but weight little on high side... + hight too should minor low... any way overall looks very beautiful...

  • Anyone notice the keypad? QWERTZ? What the... Apart from that, pretty nice. Not enough connectivity options for my taste, but I have a feeling this will have quite a low price. To Louis: I would buy a crt tv, yes :D

  • a bore!! 65k color screen!!! o2 cant be serious with this outdated thing. would you buy an old crt tv these days?? enough said.

  • Ordinery. No New thing. It's a shame for WLan.

  • looks very good but i don't like that there are only 65k colors.but it's don't mater

  • very nice phone looks beter than o2 cocoon 2nd opinion i'm might to buy this phone!

  • Looks similar to HTC Touch Dual...
