  • You have to reformat it again by pressing by using the stylus pen through the small hole at the right of the PDA and also in one short by pressing the OK button on your right and the sign of microsoft at the left on you. Then leave up the stylus pen out of the hole then until the sign yellow colour words appear on the skrin then you pull out your hands from pressing the OK and the sign button of microsoft. Then you just leave it untill the formatting process is finished.

  • After Using a SPICE for 7 days, i realised what a great phone I have!! It needs about 15 MB of free space, to perform its best. Among the great bouquet of goodies it has - few are the Navigational Key, Great Logic in using the phone, KeyPad, Push Email Technology, Answering Machine Software. It has few flip-sides also, The Poor Battery Life, No zoom facility, Small Stylus, and Old WM 5 Technology!

  • good phone for staying organise and surfing net or multimedia player. not good for business people, will lag.

  • hi i just bought a second hand o2 stealth, i dont regret buying it. overall i think it is a great phone, but if u are always on the run the battery life kind of sucks. it lags when u are running over 5 things. yes the camera sucks, but if ur looking for good camera phone get n95 , etc. anyways the phone runs perfectly fine for me its just once in a while it lags. if you are a really busy person and will rely on this phone, i wont recommend it to you. if it is for checking email, surfing the net, staying organise, etc.

After all .. the atom exec i had .. packed it in early in the piece.

  • I bought this phone in March this year and I don't have 1 problem with it. I have a lot of problems!!! The keypad suck cause it so flat, it just goes coming with the wrong key press. The backlit just does not listen to your settings. When it reset, it will not boot, I have to remove the battery and reinsert it before it can reboot. AHhhh!!! I have to get rid of it for 50% lose~~~!!! :'(

  • Guys, i see what you mean about your stealth phones having problems .. check this video out about the photo quality .. theres some interesting videos on youtube from people unhappy with the O2 phones.

  • i just buy the phone. but i unable to synchorinze through the phone through bluetooth, also connect use the phone as modem. Can anybody help me?

  • hi does any1 know if it is possible to put a 4gb mini sd into it? thanks

  • Hi. I bought my Stealth in May 2007 from StarHub Singapore. Just thought I'd voice my comments about this phone and its service centre in my home country. The phone is quite good in terms of functionality. It plays WMV and MP4. It does get laggy with Advanced Simple Profile. Will test H.264 in a while. However, my main gripe with it is that its screen merely dims after receiving sms-es. I have asked for support from the O2 helpdesk. Their response was a no-brainer: Telling me to tweak the settings for backlight (e.g. turning backlight off after 5 secs of inactivity). Sometimes, I'd receive an sms in the middle of the night, and when I awake the next day, the battery levels are already dangerously low. My workaround is to turn off the phone carrier (StarHub) before I sleep. Simply put, it is no longer a phone but my PDA/ alarm clock at night. I resume Home Network the next morning. Another glaring thing to note about O2 is their technical support. In SG, the O2 Helpline is manned only by machines (I'm serious). They'd say "Dial 1 for XXX, Dial 2 for YYY". After repeated attempts, they would apologize that you've reached the time limit of the service call. I did as the machine instructed (awfully dumb of me). I headed down to Parco Bugis Junction to service my phone. Alas, the shopfloors (both units) have already been leased to other owners. Apparently, no one from O2 Singapore bothers about updating their contact details. I did manage to locate the servicing centre. It's near Jurong East Interchange, next to IMM building (CJ GLS Building #07-01). But their service standards were horrid. I had to wait in-queue for an hour. There were just 2 receptionists attending to the crowd. In the short hour I was there (afternoon of Dec 1st), I witnessed 3 complain cases. An affluent elderly man threatened the floor manager with a report to CASE. He raised his voice so loud that everyone present could not miss him. An Indian couple nearly bit the manager's head off as they ranted that it was their 4th visit to the centre (for the same problem.) The managers and receptionists like to come up with the excuse, �Mdm, since your phone is no longer under warranty, you would have to foot the full charges�. (But it was still under warranty during their first visit a month ago. Phone still had the same fault.) Another Chinese couple was made to wait. Simply to wait unendingly because the mysterious bespectacled technician in the backroom couldn't forecast a time he'd finish the repairs. No one on the shop floor was happy. Not even the staff. I feel that the service centre really needs a wake up call. O2 in Singapore does seem only to be interested in the customers when they purchase the handsets. You would realise that there was no way you could contact the servicing centre, except by taking a trip down to their offices. The receptionists were most unfriendly. There was a rather plump Chinese who simply could not care about the customers requests. She would slap you with a standard reply stating that "This or that cannot be done because it would not clear with the auditing team." "I would need to open a job case for your request. It is procedure." "I do not know when your phone will be ready. Only the technician will know." I fully understand their plight, as they are subject to audit like a regular company. But as a regular service-oriented company, they should also value the customers. (O2, are you listening? Maybe you should review the sub-contracting of your phone servicing to MDR.) I'm quite certain, my next phone will not be an O2. If it isn't obvious at this point in time, it's due to the after-sales support. Oh, and another thing. If I'm not mistaken, the phones that had issues belonged to the O2 XDA Flame. In fact, all O2 PDA phones have this problem. None of the customers knew that programs continued running in the background even when they are closed. They can only be closed by accessing a menu that lists all running programs (WM5). With O2 Plus installed, there is a more rapid way to closing all running processes from the Today menu. The Stealth is a good phone. But my next phone would definitely not be from O2. Perhaps the touted Sony Ericsson P1i. Then again, MDR seems to service O2, BENQ-Siemens, and Sony Ericsson. Their servicing centres are also located at CJ GLS Building #07-01. I'm betting their customer services aren't that much different from O2's.

  • once you upgrade it its great. The phone does not hang at all. only when you run TOO may programs at once. overall its a great phone. also, if you usb cover cam off just superglue it back on, works like a charm.

  • i am facing one problem...while typing sms or emails, its just coming in numeric form and not in alphabetic form. Also where can i get the user manual of stealth in english...plsssssss help

  • try calling the O2 service centre to ask them how to reset ur phone they will help u =)

  • Friends, I have tried many windows mobile products from HP, O2 and Palm. Of all these PDA/Phones I would any time prefer palm. But however friends I would prefer Sony Ericsson and Nokia. PDA phones windows or palm, dont give you voice clarity, camera performance, stability, very very friendly user interface, one hand operation ( ease of use ), T9 sms writing, personal settings such as ringtones etc. You settle for speed and loose all the basics which you require the most in daily use. Think over it.

  • XDA stealth is the most screwd up piece of s**t ive ever come across.. plz guys dun buy it...it hangs when u most need it..too big for comfort..and too much of technicalities in gettin ne simple thing done

  • i still can't reset my 02 xda stealth, i have pressed "windows" and "ok" button together and stylus reset, it takes long to reset or mine has problem? please HELP ME......

  • Sure just click on the power button (do not hold) just click.

  • Hi everybody. I'm a 5 day old user of O2 XDA Stealth,and so far the thing that worries me is the battery life span,even in standy by mode. Somebody please inform me if the backlight doesn't really turns totally off when not in use but rather just dims. And can you use the numeric keypad for making SMS messages? You can email me at "[email protected]" Thank you all.

  • i want wm6 rom. anybody there 2 send me the link.

  • Hi, To reset the O2 Stealth press the �windows� key and �ok� key together, whilst keeping it pressed insert the stylus in the small hole just below the memory card slot, and keep all these buttons and stylus pressed for few seconds until the phone automatically restarts. NOTE: The phones battery must be more than 50% to do the hard reset. So don�t forget to charge the phone!!!!!!. Hope this helps.

  • i want to know, how to hard reset my O2 stealth ? thank you

  • Hi , I bought this mobile one month back,i am not able to watch TV out of this and the settings that manual is providing is not there in Programs of this fone. can you pls let me know on this. Regards, Naveen

  • Hello, I bought this one 2 weeks ago. I most wanted a mobile instead of a pc :) but at the end its not that bad. For now the thing i am not happy about is for writing msgs with Ezitext. Its not that helpful, i would prefer a program like the normal mobiles that dont have only dictionary..If there is someone out there who knows any more comfortable program pls let me know. Something else i noticed is that when i play java games, there is not a yes and no button like the normal mobiles. Is there a program that i can assign to whatever buttons i want do this? Until now am k with the XDA, no big probs for now :)

  • i am a user in pakistan,guys can anyone tell how can we send mms in this device as my cellular operator says this device does not support mms

  • I have an O2 XDA Stealth for 2 months now. I think overall it is a good pda phone. This is STILL a pda phone no matter what O2 says. So you better expect the pull down keypad to be for cosmetic reasons coz its of very minimal use. The sytlus is still needed for most actions. I am using this Stealth as my USB modem connected via USB and its fantastic!!

  • well 4got one thing....i would request to plz send me any pic taken from the o2 stealth...if possibe....on [email protected] thankx.

  • its just an "OK" kinda phone.. music sounds r quite low as compared to even older nikia models .. also sometimes it hangs up and does not start even on reboot :( windos ce 5.0 is boring too .. exterior plastic finish also looks kinda cheap material .

  • I have bought O2 XDA stealth in July 2005.I did not start using it but found that it was not switching on when i had switchd off. The battery was low in power and it got switched off completely and did not come back online (tried charging but its not charging,no LED indication with USB cord or the charger). I have sent it for repair but i still face the problem when it reaches me from the repair.They say its ok and battery is changed but when i get the set its not powering on or charging. Please help,email me >>[email protected].

  • I just got this phone yesterday and I must say it's a nice phone.

  • I think its kinda okay though it may not be the best. The major flaw i think is still the keypad. it is still not as useful as it should be.

  • Hi All , I am planning to buy 02 XDA Stealth phone..but after going through the views abt that phone, Now I am in dilemma. Please sugest is it worth to buy?

  • hey guys... listen i am seriously interested in this phone after having seen it and read all this forum, like literally... can you please advise if this is the best pda to be bought within 200 pounds or is there anybetter than this and is there any really major major flaw in it?

  • i am going to buy an o2 stealth. doing some research. new to the pad family thatis why. can you type sms with the keypad and the touch screen or is it possible only with the keypad. how good is the wifi on the phone. please post your comments. these are somethings tat i want clarified

  • In the new multitap function, there is still about .5 s lag when inputing the characters. So when you press 122333, instead of "aei" like ordinary phone, only "i" appears.. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? (Some suggest to use Phonepad though.. which i dont feel like using it)

  • my dad has this phone HE LOVES IT..

  • to ingriel: you need download the last rom for the stealth if you need let me know. the rom is in english. I sale my stealth and i buy an htc p3600 with gps and more features.

  • check out this link. I've tried it and it works!! I know stealth has a bad reputation for battery consumption but after doing the setup, a day of normal usage will only take up 30% of the battery.

  • this a warning to all those who are planning to buy o2 devices in the future! beware! I am from India. I was happy using O2 phones such as the XDA II and the Atom so I decided to go in for another. I purchased an O2 XDA Stealth on Feb 12th 2007 and had immediately regretted the decision as I started facing a hell lot of problems in the device. Almost after a month of correspondence with O2 they sent me a replacement handset. I was happy until i opened the new unit. It had the same problems and some new. Again after long talks with O2 (Mr Keanu) they sent me another replacement promising me that this would work but it did not. Naturally I was very angry and frustrated. At this stage I ahd lost all faith in the Stealth and demanded O2 to give me some other handset for all the inconvienience that I have faced . After a series of talks with O2 Singapore(Mr Keanu) I received an Atom Exec. But my problems worsened! After a couple of days the Exec "died" ie it would not charge. when the charger was connected it would show full battery and when disconnected it would switch off and not switch on for days. Highly annoyed and frustrated I began my talks again with O2 and at the same time bought the O2 Zinc. That was another error from my side as the Zinc also had problems. Its indicator LED malfunctioned and the microphone gave out static. Those were horrible times for me having two defective handsets. O2 finally agreed to replace both these handsets and they did. So I have already used 3 Stealths, 2 Atom Execs and 2 Zincs. That adds up to 7 O2 phones in about five and a half months!!! Well things dont end here. once again I am having problems with the Zinc such as the LED is malfunctioning, the speaker switches on automatically when a call is made, the speaker dies out, screen freezes..etc.. So to all those who are planning on investing their money on an O2 device please do not as the quality of O2 devices is degrading day by day and is no longer dependable as it once upon a time was. if any of you want to know bout the problems i faced in these many devices please contact me on +919884414907

  • Before i buy the stealth, i like to know if the stealth support pocket MSN...???

  • Hi, i am plannin to buy a PDA but at the moment very confused with 2 models. O2 Atom or Stealth. some one please advice me which one to go for. Though atom would be expensive that the stealth, what are the extra specks that are worth paying for. Kindly reply.

  • Bought a new o2 stealth yesterday.Works Ok. Can someone pls tell me where i can download some softwares for the phone and how to use the auto focus on the camera since all the photos i take are grainy. I am very disappointed with the camera. Ezi text works ok. Like a normal nokia phone without the t9.(multitap)

  • hei joegsm,where can i install the ezitext. thanks

  • i had the same problem as zhiyang, that is i cannot turn the wi-fi on (the wireless manager wont let me do it) and the phone doesnt detect the SIM when i first turn it on. I also cant recieve text messages unless i do a soft reset, and then for only about 24 hours. I like the phone, but can anyone help me with the problems?? zhiyang, did you solve your problems?

  • Re Marc: you can only use .wav files as message alerts...you can convert the sound file using goldwave...hope it can answer your question

  • I'm trying to figure out how to use my MP3s stored in my stealth as a message tone alert? Is this possible? I believe a friend of mine that has XDA can do this without having to download any additional program... Is it possible to turn off the dictionary/predictive text? Hope anyone out there could help me out.

  • All the O2 XDA Stealth users, look at this:

  • Hi all, just a question, I had O2 mini which i sold and bought O2 Stealth...I am unable to restore my data...O2 mini created a file named compactflashbackupnew but it does not work to restore my data in stealth...can anyone help me? please its urgent...

  • can anyone tell me if this handset works in the uk?i am considering purchasing one from ebay but dont want to waste money if it wont work. thanks

  • how much did you pay for the handset and is it worth the money?i had the xda orbit but sent it back.

  • The same here in Czech Republic. I have bought one via eBay (from HongKong) and it work fine for me with all three providers (T-Mobile, Vodafone and O2).

  • Recently made the decision to purchase the Stealth from StarHub. It's really a good phone, even though many have complained that screen is small, and that you can't sms with the numeric pad. So, here's my 2 cents' worth: The sliding cover feels a little flimsy, but nonetheless has a solid feel to it. Do not think that everything on the phone can only be opeated by the touch screen. The navigational wheel, MS Windows button and OK button help to lessen the number of times you have to touch the screen. The wifi works wonders. It's even able to log on to the internet via a proxy server. But the default mobile browser is weak. Wondering if I can find a program that functions like MS's Deepfish. As for the numeric keypad, do change and use the input method to EziText. You may do so by selecting the input method when you are in the screen for composing text message (SMS). EziText is not as simple to use as T9. However, it does have a function to add words to the dictionary. You have to add it in manually. Look it up under �Settings→ Input→ EziText→ Options�. Type as you would in T9, then when the desired word appears, use the navigational wheel to confirm it. Many thanks to the sales representative at the O2 booth (The PC Show 2007) for helping me on this. Do update the ROM to the latest version. Register the phone at O2's website and follow the instructions for the update. I've installed O2 Plus program. It's useful as it lets you see the programs running at any point in time. Also, when not in use, let the device enter �Standby mode� by gently depressing the on/off switch once. (I highly recommend using a password to secure the phone.) The battery seems to deplete rather quickly. Might be due to the 406MHz processor, and the large screen. Had to charge it every 2 days. My other main gripe about this phone is that EziText changes into Keyboard input whenever I power down the phone. I wonder if there's a way to set EziText as the default input method. The stylus feels fragile, but mine is still holding up. & whenever you make phone calls, the phone continues to take input from the touch screen, so try not to stick the phone too close to the face cheeks. Oh! And get a 2GB mini-SD card. SanDisk works wonders. Got mine for SGD28 from Sim Lim Sq (level 3). And get screen protection to minimize the number of scratches to the screen. I usually navigate around the �desktop� screen with my finger nails. Windows Mobile 5 works wonders. Although version 6 is out, there really isn't much of an improvement, so dun worry about using WM5. There probably wouldn't be an upgrade to WM6 for the Stealth. Out of 5, I give the Stealth 4.5. That's all for now. Will keep you posted as I continue to venture into the Stealth.

  • those people who talk of upgrades, does anybody actually know of a real link that works? Ive looked at couldn't trace the upgrade for stealth. Is it known with another name? If anybody knows...

  • O2 XDA stealth camera is very dissapointing, although it has a 2MP cam, but it doens't have image stabilizer and the response time between the button and the shutter is damn late 6sec. The contacts cannot be copied from the sim card to the phone memory. And I don't see any functions of the numeric keypad, its useless. Physically it looks very stylish but in the inside it lacks a few things. the OS functions is simmilar to Windows XP, yet it still lacks on memory. You have to kill the program manually to save up RAM. overall, I think it sucks!

  • Its a pathetic phone. I have been using O2s for long time now. I have used Atom, Atom Exec and XDA Exec. I upgraded my phone from XDA Exec to Stealth and only found dissappointment. Stealth is the biggest dissappointment ever. The Screen Size is very small. It makes it difficult to tap work on the screen. The phone hangs a lot. One has to hard reset it very often. The other problem is messaging. It does not allow you to add any word to the dictionary. If you do not use eZiText feature for messaging through NumPad, you cannot work with Num Pad. to key in special words you need to change the input method from EziText to Keyboard or other formats that require you to necessarily work with the stylus only. I am planning to sell it off and get myself a better piece. O2 is not outting in efforts to look into the quality. They just want to mint money.

  • i m searching 4 a pda phn..... just got my eyes on o2 stealth , tell me if its worth the buy and what are the problems encountered by its users , plz reply

  • it's so difficult to text using the ezitext. I originally had the previous ROM then i upgraded my phone by downloading the new ROM from O2 site... my unit now has a multi tap so you could text like using nokia or other brands but the big downfall is that you should wait for at least 3 seconds to encode 1 letter... camera is a little disappointing... the resolution of my samsung d600 2mp is far better than the stealth's.

  • Can i use the keypad like a normal phone or only by the 'hard to use' as i heard, eztxt? As in no prediction. Is the camera good? As compared to a good 2mp cam phone? Thanks for the help, im into buying this pda.

  • What about camera dose it take good pictures in low light?

  • Well BG, maybe no one here knows how to add words in eZiText, maybe there's no way you can add words in eZiText. You might just have to accept it as is. The best way to get your answer is to ask Support at O2 but you may have to wait a few weeks before you get your reply if at all.

  • I am still awaiting the reply on how to add words to EziText in O2.... I am sure there is a way out and have been trying to figure that out but have been unsuccessful... Someone please help as its getting really frustrating.

  • i m using the o2 stealth too.. this is the 1st tine i use the windows based smart phone... i try to hard reset the o2 Stealth n find that it run smooth after that.. another problem is, are there any body got the ce star software for o2 stealth... very sad, becoause i cant write chinese sms....

  • hi i would like to confirm if it is possible to upgrade Windows Mobile 5 to Windows Mobile 6 in my stealth unit. If so, how can i do it and what are its advantages and disadvantages? Thanks

  • how to can play game boy advanced ??? I have problem too.... plz....help me!! how can we play game boy advanced??

  • I have a O2 Stealth and have been upset with the SMS functionality. Try to use the keypad sms function that has ezi text. Its ok but the software does not add new words.... CAN SOMEONE PLS HELP on how to add new words in the ezitext like in t9 dictionary

  • You can use the Ezitext like Samsung or Nokia Text. Predictabe or non-predictable English voccabulary. There are so much ROM for this Stealth. Or I bought Licensed ROM Windows Mobile 6.0 It works pretty well on this device. But battery is a small issue. You should get a higer battery.

  • ZT: thanks a lot...

  • Skiboo: You mean the Today font color? Then you need to make your own Today theme and you can choose whatever color font you want. Ducky: Yes to multitap question and Stealth has this function similar to T9 called eZiText. It works like T9 but harder to use. Nothing much to say about the new rom. Better than the old one that's for sure. Make sure you upgrade.

  • Hi there.... i know that the stealth can be used for sms/text messaging. but, can you use multitap or just T9/predictive for texting? And, is there any pros or sons on the new ROM? Thanks a lot...

  • Hi, can somebody help by telling me how to change the font color? The LCD screen is not bright enough under the natural outdoor light, need to change font to black color. Thanks!

  • why not radio??:((

  • Sam, you need a 3rd party contact application like Inesoft Address Book. When you get a call, it shows a full screen contact picture, name and number. Moreover you can pick the font size for contact list to be as big as 36 pt. This application will make your life a lot easier. Believe me. Oh and I've just found another neat application "Zoom" It works like a magnifying glass. You move your stylus over the area you want to zoom. It's supposed to work in any application on your device. I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how it works on Stealth. The application came out in 2004. I don't even know if it will work on WM5.

  • hi there, can somebody help me to enlarge the incomming call nos. I had tried to do it through text size option but still it is difficult to see the no. tweaks does not help coz it only enlarges the system fonts. kindly help.

  • if all of u need to overcome some lags in the phone, try using an alternative software for this O2 stealth. not all default functions in the phone is good, some of the are useless.. Try tweaking the phone, and try using other software to run on the OS. somehow I managed to overcome some difficulties with the phone but after 2months of using it, i find that the phone lacks some parts in some fields. Yet, nokia N73 is better and well organized. the O2 do not have an organized memory for sms, contacts and many more. There are no options to store your contacts directly either in the phone memory, MiniSD or sim card. I had to do it manually... From phone to PC and from PC to phone, that is if u wanna move lots of contacts. Im goona buy a Nokia N73 or N77 or N95...

  • Does anyone know how to hide sim card contacts in Stealth? When a call comes in, the phone looks for the contact name on the sim card first and so the assigned picture won't show and the ring tone won't ring. I tried using filtering but it didn't work. Any tricks or tips or third party applications?

  • thanks for your answers... o2 rules....

  • If you're buying a Stealth, make sure it's got a new rom installed. It should be RM061208. If not, download from O2 and upgrade it yourself. Although it's still a bit slow, it works much better overall with the new rom.

  • bought one last weekend. yes, keypad can be used for text messaging. no upgraded needed at all. Issues: it freezes sumtimes, stylus head can be easily ripped off... all in all, above average fone. :D

  • To Nash - U mentioned that u had problem w/ its keypad. Could u further explain what the problem was? I want to know if the keypad can be used for texting. I checked one mobile and keypad is not use for this purpose � it�s used as a cursor. Thanks.

  • hi there, im planning to buy xda stealth. my only concern is the keypad. some says you cant use the keypad to type text messages, some says you can. if so, do i need it to upgrade first before i can use the keypad for text messages? where can i get an upgrade? is it free? thanks a lot....

  • hey guys, i am using the stealth its been more than 3 month and yes it has some disadvantages such as the keypad, network performance, freezing sometimes, ect... Until i upgraded the ROM last week and till now its running perfectly. The Ezitext is upgraded, you can use it as the nokia phones by choosing the new multitab function. Its more faster and i always run GPRS and it never frozes or stops. My advice to you is to go to see02.com, find an upgrade from the region you purchased the phone and instal it. You will find a big difference...

  • This is for Tony. Battery part number is 35h00064-03m and model arte160.

  • Stealth is my 3rd O2. Had no problem with my former XDAs but with Stealth, too often being frozed. Most of time from phone operation. Rather annoyance. I hardly use bluetooth headphone, thus it often hang, unexpectedly turn on Wifi while in conversations, does not return to normal mode after unsuccessful calls. These never happened to my O2 S or Atom. Wondering if it's not suitable for high cheek bones that do not use headset! But then it never happened to my former O2! Appreciate any suggestions to correct the problem.

  • The ezitext aint any easy at all lol. I find using the handwritting recognition is quite fun ,so i use it for texting. The stealth is a fun little phone, i get quite a good deal for it, $430 shipped, so i say it worth the money

  • This is about the keypad that I thought was useless too. To type text using the keypad, first you have to select eZiText. Then on the keypad press and hold *abc/123 button and you'll see a pop-up on the screen with a choice of abc or 123. It should toggle between abc/123 when the button is pressed. But NO they had to make it complicated. Everytime you want to switch, you have to press and hold and choose then continue your texting. Man!

  • Hi there, i want to buy Stealth,currently i am using Sony Erricson W810i and Nokia 6233, i want honest comments from people whether is it worth buying this phone, and secondly if there are any flaws do they interfere with the normal functioning of the phone.

  • why is every one complain about it being large? It is that much bigger than my n73 and for a pocket pc, im cool with that size.

  • nice phone, but rather large and heavy, though happy with having AF cam and Windows OS and everything else.

  • The keypad cant use for texting

  • i can't use the keypad in texting... i have selected ezitext already but still only numbers will appear... is there any other settings for these?

  • me eather i ordered for asus p525,i think it is the best mobile.see asus p525 users reviews,

  • Asus P525 is better than O2 stealth, I switched to asus P525 cause it completes my needs , and the Bluetooth 2.0 s dandy . I don't need the useless 3G cause it's just a money eater, and just because 3G is trendy it does not mean it's good. Don't be 3G ZOMBIES!!! do you have a friend that has a 3G phone? and did you try video call with you friend???

  • O2 XDA stealth camera is very dissapointing, although it has a 2MP cam, but it doens't have image stabilizer and the response time between the button and the shutter is damn late 6sec. The contacts cannot be copied from the sim card to the phone memory. And I don't see any functions of the numeric keypad, its useless. Physically it looks very stylish but in the inside it lacks a few things. the OS functions is simmilar to Windows XP, yet it still lacks on memory. You have to kill the program manually to save up RAM. overall, I think it sucks!

  • hey there Hardik. I tested the 2GB MiniSD (kingston). Too bad it coudlnt work with this O2 stealth, it only works with a 1GB MiniSD. u said it can work with a 2GB miniSD. What kind of 2GB MiniSD brand u use? or do i need to upgrade this O2 stealth firmware in order fot it to support a 2GB miniSD?

  • hi ameenz.. try putting your 2GB miniSD card again then turn your stealth off then on again. that will solve your problem regarding the phone detecting the memory capacity but wasn't able to save file on it. hope this helps..

  • thanx for the comment. Last night I just bought the 2GB MiniSD, but it seems that the O2 detected the memory capacity but was unable to save file in it. I jack it into my computer with a card reader and try to format it but it seems like the card is damaged. I donno what happens but the MiniSD could not be readed. 2moro im taking it to the shop i just bought it. I hope its okay with the 2GB MiniSD...

  • Hi Ameenz I have 2 GB card installed and it works flawlessly... Feel free to go with what you think is best for you.. Hardik

  • I am thinking of buying a 2GB MiniSD memory for my o2 strealth. From what i red in the manual book, it siad that the phone could support external memory up to 1GB only, but nowdays there are 2BG and 4GB MiniSD. My question is could this gadget of mine support a 2GB or 4GB miniSD? anyone out there could anser me?

  • am trying to do the multi-tap thing but this option do not come out.. do i need to update the rom or something? can anyone tell me what to do again?

  • I think this phone will do their part in asia (especially in my country,Indonesia) coz, we need a cheaper PDA-Phone, just like this with a "enough" features not throwing their costumer with features than we don't use. I'm sure we'll looking for phone that exact just what we need, so if you need a 3G or EDGE or something just looking for other phone, don't send useless comment, because it can make someone who wants to buy this phone confuse (Even they don't need it at all). So BUY WHAT YOU NEED, do not BUY WHAT MOST COMPLETE. For costumer in some ASIA (Especially indonesia) this one may fit to you, here some reason: 1. The absent of 3G won't be the problem!!! Yes there is some operator provide 3G service, but have you try it, it just really fast when they do promotions, even not do much better than GPRS!!! Even the price for 3G service still killing us!!! And the real point is DO YOU OFTEN USE IT? 2. The key pad will help many indonesian cost who want to try PDA. Because many of them to lazy to learn touch screen. They just buy phone from other brand that have same or even higher prise for nothing, it just phone with pseudo OS or even no OS at all!!! What are we pay for??? Came on indonesian people be smarter. 3. In indonesia O2 distributors do their costumer service pretty good. And finally good phone with enough features, enough price and fit to us. For people who looking for extra complete phone maybe can search for upcoming: HTC ATHENA.

  • Love the phone... just bought it a few days ago..it rocks!! but i got problem with the pocket msn. even when i got connected with the wireless service, it still couldnt get through. and how can i change the sms notification? or is it only fix? can i use other tones? .wav perhaps? how? need help. thanks...a phone worth buying. ;)

  • The stealth phone is a loss of money with lot of problems, within 1 month after buying the phone have to send for repair 2 times. The first time wifi not working and if activate camera will show "out of memory". The repair centre in Singapore upgraded the software and replace the LCD screen "Dont know why they replace the LCD?". They put in a faulty LCD with on screen keyboard alignment out. The phone itself is faulty and the customer service also bad. Why O2 is not concerned about their customers and their reputation.

  • someone mentioned on having a multitap option on the Ezitext function, can someone tell me how? If i press and hold the star key on the dialing pad it shows an option to choose of symbols, english and 123...there is nothing such as multitap.

  • hello fellow O2 Stealth users, i am changing SIM cards and i need to copy all the contacts from my old SIM to the phone before i put in the new SIM. however, i only know how to transfer one contact by one contact. by the 20th contact, i've alr given up. could somebody teach me how to copy all at once? thank u.

  • I was playing around to understand how wi-fi works on O2. I dont know what I did, now the wireless manager is not turning the wi-fi ON. And whenever I restart the O2, it asks for some Card's name as it mentions that there is an unknown card on the socket 2. I believe that I have deleted or altered the wireless card's info. Please update me on this...

  • hai what's wrong with the keypad?i can't use it

  • The best Bluetooth headset is Motorola H700.

  • i think it's great in design as well as functionalities. i used it for a month by now and quite satisfied with the keypad available. btw yes you can type sms by using keypad, here's how: create a new message, tap the triangle next to keyboard icon, select eZiText, tap-AND-HOLD the "a_/*" button (should be bottom left of screen), select "Multi-Tap". Now you can use keypad to type sms just like any other phones.

  • I got this phone a week ago... could you guys recommend me good bluetooth head set for me? thanks...

  • i was using O2 atom 4 a while...iwanted 2 upgrade.i'm considerin buyin Atom exec or Stealth.though featurewise stealth is lower compared 2 Atom i like d keypad thing.i can operate it wit 1 hand. abt hard resettin just press de reset switch on d bottom of fon n d power button on d top of fon simultaniously

  • how does one use the key board to text sms and while searching for names on contacts..... just bought the phone after two years of using the Nokia 9300 and man........its sure is a pain till we get to know the features..

  • Just bought the phone last week and it has got major issues with it's "search" feature. I activesynced all my contacts of about 800 and when i want to do a search for example "microsoft" within the phone, it returns the results in 100 seconds. My dinosaur toshiba pda gives me results in 10 secs flat. Also when one is multitasking, be prepared to wait, wait, wait and wait.I only managed to hard reset it after the 3rd try and the set now is with the service centre. I lost productivity with this "stealth"

  • O2 guys seem to be schemeing against the consumers. They present phones which seem out of the world with the features and specifications but always have something crucial missing out which is perhaps introduced in the next release OR model. The Stealth for instant looks a perfect instrument especially with a key pad / windows 5.0 / touch screen / wifi / good memory n processor etc.... SO GUESS WHATS MISSING !!!! It does not even have EDGE leave alone 3G. You guys provide a phone with windows etc.. for surfing net and downloading emails and dont provide a basic NECESSITY like EDGE which are an absolute oxygen for high speed data tranfer required for surfing net and downloading emails. Its like buying a high tech BMW fitted with the engine of a scooter.. Most of the consumers would not realise this until they buy the phone and end up shedding tears later.. See the reviews of most of the buyers of the ATOM and we all will know. Either the O2 guys are mind bogglingly stupid OR A***H***s of the first type. Lets all call for a universal boycott for O2 phones !!

  • Ugly ugly ugly!!!

  • Attracted "Man In Black" I installed video player software, run Mission Impossible III and it run smoothly. I would recommend buy this gadget with 1GB storage memory. It just lack of 3G, but u still can utilize GPRS. the rest... so far so good.

  • The mighty Xda Flame is coming roll out the red carpet and prepare ....to bow

  • Can some one tell me if you can watch MEPG-4 clips on it (like short movie clips that are watched by Quicktime Media player)???????????

  • O2 just gets worse by the day. The Stealth is ok in performance but as far as design, the thing just looks hideous! It is thick like a brick and the casing just looks cheap. It's a damn shame cos they use to make nice phones. Its the same for iMate. Whats wrong with them??!!

  • can anyone tell me??????? can we use the keyboard while typnig sms???? If yes then how?????? Best regards

  • just bought my 02 xda stealth yesterday...like it esp. with the phone keypad,,, i am always an 02 fan but never like other models like the Stealth. great phone, however not too sure about the features as they r more less same other 02...SP, Cambodia!

  • could i have know one thing i want to have add some customize option like use some more phone nos and email address in a each new contact. beasue there is only 3 mail feilds in a out look 2002 how can add more pls let me confirm is it possible or not in this customiziation in application.

  • Hi, I`m interested in the phone I would like to know if the reception is good in America (Canada). Looking foward to buy this phone but I`m wondering because it`s a triband. Also is the phone fast enough to run Skype for ppc and TCMP Core. Thank you

  • anyone know how to get chinese test support on this O2?

  • i just bought this phone for about 3days ago, for me o2 xda stealth is the best phone that i ever have. the advantages that i know from experiencing is : - a very good multitasking phone, - the wifi connection is working great, - the size and the design of the phone is rugged and nice, - a very fast and stable phone, for this 3days i havent crash the phone yet even i have install many programs and games for the phone, - the weight of the phone is quite light - can use one-handed style very smoothly after practicing about half and hour, -etc the disadvantages are : - the message ringtone only use polyphonic, - the camera is not impressive even its 2megapixels, - the battery power is not impressive, - price is quite expensive but totally worthy of the price. - etc

  • I live in the US and bought O2 Stealth during my trip to India last month... I was a little anxious that it might or might not work with my American Cell Service Provider, but its working perfactly. I was never fan of using webservices through cell service providers, but always wanted some convinience to surf web on the hands. This one has Wi-Fi and hence it serves as an Internet companion to me as well besides being my PDA mate. Its a definately one of the very few coolest gadgets to be considerd for someone who really understands the benefits to be ripped from it. My Ratings 4.8/5.0 Hardik North Carolina, USA

  • isn't the screen too small? I fell in love with the phone, but it says the screen is only 2.4" !! that is small for a touch screen pocket PC... please tell me it is not correct! is it really 2.4"?

  • I want to know how to hard reset O2 XDA Stealth.

  • I was just wondering if anyone would suggest this phone for me, i know it has all those excell, bla bla bla, internet explore, but i am not a busy person, do you think that it is worth the money?

  • how do i use keypad of o2 in text messaging. Stylus of this phone is bad, is it possible to use keypad in texting,. i tried it but it display numbers and doesn't recognize alpha char. is it a phone limitation?

  • This would be the best and most selling item if only they put HSDPA or at least 3G. Ya outdated!!!! But not bad.... It is competiting with ASUS P525.... i think. Services of O2 really SUCKS!!!! Unlike HP, which is has warranty internationally.

  • How much this? It is look best. I like it.

  • Outlook is good but outdate spec. If support 3G is more better.

  • Bad service makes any product bad. In India the service of O2 is bad. Used O2 XdaII mini/Atom and finally shifted to HP iPaq 6828 due to better service network and replacement policy and software support because of HP being a computer company.

  • O2 is one of the best phone brands ever, i like it, it's the best...actually,it's first in my list..it's above nokia,samsung and motorola..i like there phones alot. but one thing bothers me alot, why don't they make phones which is 3g capable, maybe HSDPA, or even a phone which has a cam of 3 megapixels or more...i can't say that "why CAN'T they make..." cuz im super sure that they can make it, teven better...sometimes when i look at their phones and compare it to others, it's certainly better but now, it's like their falling behind..now O2, it's time that you unleash your real power, i know you can do it, i know you can do more and beat other phone brands...so..go O2!! you can do it, i'll w8 for that...i'm your number one fan...you can do it! go! P.S. please make a phone which has more memory in it's RAM and ROM, i know you can...thanx! i'll w8...O2 the best! 1. O2, i-mate (they look alike, does i-mate buy the designs of O2) 2. Motorola 3. Sony Ericsson 4. Samsung 5. Nokia . . . . . Others... :-)

  • This company should be banned for depriving their customers ROM updates. They give up their responsibilty once you buy their expensive phones (E.G Xda IIi). Friendly advice, Dont buy their products.

  • Hi can i install acrobat reder in this mobile

  • does it use 2.5mm jack? hope it doesnt

  • Come on O2! Stop bringing out crappy phones, ever since the Atom came out, O2 hasn't really been in the game. Give us 3G with HSDPA, a second video call camera, a 400MHz Samsung processor, 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM and you'll have a real winner in the Stealth. The slider design just rocks. Oh... and give us a good T9 system for a keypad (like Nokia's).

  • what i now know about 02 i will never touch there phones ever again.

  • hmmmm ! looks nice...a slider just like N80... but not a 3G one ....

  • hmm...... not 3G phone? what a waste..using GPRS to go online? huh?

  • this is probably an upgrade version for xda atom exec~ everything about the same, except wifi, and a slided-keyboard

  • is therz anything new????????? i guess o2 should consider this!!!!!! old platform.........new look!!!!!!! i think atom is much better.......

  • i believe O2 XDA Stealth is the model i am looking for to replace my O2 XDA Mini. i hope it would be made available soon in the Philippines.

  • looks pretty nice, black sliders are sure popular these days

  • atom is still the best o2 product to me
