  • Awesome phone....missin it a lot... can ne one tell me where to find the parts....lex ribbion & D-Pad of trion in india(mumbai/pune)???

  • very good phone ..user friendly

  • hey! can someone tell me how to operate the secondary cam on my xda trion? i'v read the manual but am still not getting it.

  • can anyone help me how to set my 3.5mm bose headphone to O2 xda trion? I don't have any usb adaptor.

  • Simply, your battery has out of date and need a new one to replace :). Usually, batty will be get more quickly dry after 2 years and it need to be replace.

  • it does have video calling you dnt have the settings thats all if its running slow that means u should close ur apps that u not using. and what do u then expect from a hand held pc? it only has a 400mhz processor

  • lol it does do that but not as often as u say cause its the way u handle it. got this fone now for bout 2 wks and its brilliant . at first i was lost . then i just googled what ever i needed to know bout the fone. now im rolling

  • i have this phone and my battery gets used up so quickly. i tried changing batteries but no change. after 5 minutes call and 2 sms, my battery is down to 1 bar. i have the wifi off all the time as well as bluetooth. my brightness is on low. can anyone suggest anything please?

  • i recently accidentally loked my xda and i don`t have the code that my phone used can any1 tell me how i can somehow by pass the lock maybe by entering something that is personal and my phone would remember

  • Just got a Trion with a new job. It's not a new machine but Hey. Seems to do what I need but one thing elides me - how do I set a greeting for voice mail?? You know " leave a message after the tone" sort of stuff. If anyone knows I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks

  • Whit WM 5 I have viodeo call on Xda Trion

  • it is great phone...just need know how to use...

  • This phone looks really big, I mean, my screen is 17" and its taking up most of it. My pockets isn't big enough to carry this about. Is this actual size?

  • This phone is designed poorly. If you take it out from your pocket, the slider opens a little bit. That means, you have to close the slider everytime, you take the phone out.. and believe me its annoying.

  • Dont get this phone. For one it weighs a tonne. Secondly the phone is made of plastic. I mean real cheap plastic. Camera is rubbish. No video calling available on this phone so i dont understand why they have included a camera on the front. Basically it is the worst phone i have ever had. Application runs slow. Recieve a phone call and takes 5 seconds to accept due to other applications running in background. It is basically like running Windows and having to open Task Manager to terminate other applications using up memory. Avoid!!!

  • yes you can upgrade to 6.1 go to www.4winmobile

  • yes it will work i change orange rom to a xda o2 rom 4g works

  • had this one 3 months ago .......... feels like m carrying a brick in my pocket ....... crap camera....crap battery........crap network reception.......crap slider for the keyboard .......... simply hate it

  • Hi, I like this phone O2 XDA but this product sacification is same copy of i mate jasjam so which product are very usefull and comforetable in price................................

  • i want to install USB reader for O2 Xda Trion.

  • why did you say it. Rom windows mobile 6.1 for O2 trion has available since 2007.

  • Umair: You can buy this phone (used) around 100 pound.. I only have mine since a few weeks, but i think the build quality is very good, but you may have to buy a new battery sooner or later, if u plan to have this phone for a longer term.

  • how is the phone in performance for long term.wot is the current price of phone? email plz on [email protected].

  • Also try xda developers for a wm 6.1 rom.

  • There is no windows mbile 6.1 update for it because it isgetting old now, the rom is probable too small for 6.1. it would be a pointless waste ofmoney for o2 to bring out a windows mobile 6.1 update for it. There is a windows mobile 6.0 update though. But i dont have this phone yet (should be getting it this week) so what do i know?! Hope this helps, Benjie.

  • I'd also like to obtain the Windows Mobile 6.1 update for the XDA Trion - I see that the Stellar has a 6.1 download available, why not the Trion?

  • check out xda-developers.com There is wiki there which shows how to disable the LED for the hermes/trion through the registry.

  • Will O2 release windows mobile 6.1 for this phone?

  • Turn on you bluetooth. The bluetooth of the receiver of the item to be sent should be turned on two. Now open the item you want to send wether picture, music or whatever. Also make sure that the recieving phone has enough space for item you want to send. Highlight the item you want to send. Options will popup.select send VIA BLUETOOTH. The phone will locate the other phone and send the item upon you confirmation. i hope this is useful to you.

  • To send send useing BT you got to pair devices first and then takes you to yur data to pick what to send to paired devices:)

  • I find it almost impossible to send anything via bluetooth as it only brings out other options except bluetooth. meanwhile it is easier to receive files. cann someone explain how to send things via bluetooth on this phone please..... Thanks

  • can u plz tell me how did u use ur phone as a modem? Thank you.

  • You can't your going to have to deal with it.

  • can you please advice me how to switch off LED which is blinking for network at right side . My wife said its annoying at night or in extreme dark and slapped me. Please help!

  • if you can connect please tell me how think it costs around �7.00 a month margaret

  • freewareppc.com or freewarepocketpc.com

  • can any one tell me where to download software and games

  • This Really a nice phone. but battery really a problem... so i buy a 2600mah battery.. It really perfect~

  • To: Jaypee - where did you buy your xda trion and how much it cost now? In Saudi Arabia, I can't find this model anymore (either i-mate, Qtek or this xda trion).

  • very nice phone, when using all the programs battery life is a problem.

  • stable phone.after using so many phones I found this one good.bit bulky but looks decent .if u are frequent phone changer,I think u will stay with this phone quiet long.best luck for buying.will cost you around 250gbp original one.not bad for wi fi enabled phone .

  • the led light flashes green and then red if u hav a msg, missed call or are low on battery. also dont try a 4gig card in the fone, it ruined transferring songs onto my trion through windows media player.

  • can you text usin key pad and write numbers usin key pad or is that all touch screen

  • HI! I've had this phone for about 10 months - it's perfect.

  • o2 XDA Trion perfect Thanks to HTC

  • Why does the TyTN have HDSPA 1.8Mbps listed for 3G, and the Trion only 384Kbps? I thought they are the same device.

  • Hi, i need to knw desperately and immediately whether the xda trion supports the 4 gb micro sd....i got one and it aint reading...

  • can anyone tell me how i get a screensaver to work on my xda trion please

  • does anyone know where i could download free themes for my xda trion? ive just upgraded to WM6. how do i get the screensaver/wallpaper where the big digital clock is displayed?

  • i just bought an 02 xda trion.is there anyone who can tell me if touchFLO is possible for xda trion? is there a software for it? thanks

  • Love this phone a few minor issues but generally an excellent phone.

  • Time to say goodbye....well, after 2 years, my O2 has faded away into cell phone heaven. It gave me som eminor issues while I owned it, and now, the ringer finally died leaving only the vibrate function working. Time to move on... I have now moved on to the NOKIA N95 8GB - WOW!!! WHAt a difference.

  • why does it blink? i think it's for the signal..

  • does anyone tried to upgrade their O2 Trion to windows mobile 6

  • it will always blink.. thats how it is

  • does anyone knows why the led light at the top right hand side of the phone always blink??.. even when its not charging or fully charged.. my xda has this green led blinking n i cant figure out y.. the one near the internet explorer icon.. help me pleaseeee..

  • to silent lover,,,i use mobymemory all time for memory cards and they test the card with a device to make sure it does work but it only approves it with the 2gb card,,but dont quote me as i am unsure wether a firmware upgrade can fix this because nokia n80,,n73 etc too are stuck at 2gb limit

  • Had it for about a day - no complaints so far. Love the aesthetics.

  • It has windows media player, simply download any movies in wmv or mpeg4 format and you are done. better download TCPMP player for better video control...

  • This phone is a nugget!!

  • i got xda trion and worked fine at first lovely but then suuenly the screen get going blank its fine one minute then goes anyone else got this problem and can it be resloved

  • To all queries regarding Blackberry Connect. Read my post dated 2007-07-19 19:10 It clearly states here are no current plans for Blackberry Connect Software

  • Hi I'm thinking of getting an XDA trion for work, but I can't find the Blackberry connect software on for the trion on the o2 website - any ideas where I'll be able to find it? Sales guy in the o2 shop quite unhelpful.

  • Also, if people are having problems with the upgrade link, make sure you are using Internet Explorer to use it. The first couple of time I tried was using Mozilla Firefox and after an email to support, I was told this caused problems. I switched to IE and it worked first time. Altho it seems to be an incredibly slow download

  • Had the o2 XDA Trion a couple of days now, worked pretty well so far. Have had problems with my micro SD card however. Windows Media Player refuses to add the files stored on the card to the library. Anyone got any suggestions? is it compatible with 2gb micro SD? Cheers

  • hi there, can anyone tell me how to install the memory card on the trion, have 5 song saved to the device and its saying memory full? cheers guys

  • hey.how iz it's sound quality??? does it have a loud sound when playing the music.... and .....any negative points on this???

  • It tells me my S/N is invalid too! I checked it 10x to make sure. It failed to validate my S/N. bummer :-(

  • i tried the below link for windows mobile 6. The serial number is not recognized. have you ever faced this problem before.

  • xda trion upgrade to windows 6.0:

  • Hello, How can I change the language settings from German to English. Should I install Windows mobile 5 English version ? If yes, how is it possible? Thanks.

  • one of the best mobile phone i have ever seen

  • 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

  • I have a xda trion at d mo but the thing is i am trying to send images off my other phone to the trion via bluettooth. my otha phone finds the trion bluetooth but when i try to connect htem 2gether my other phone says connection dropped. what is happening?can someone please help me!

  • I've had the O2 XDA Trion for 1 year now! fantastic. I travel all over the world with it, and would never change it! I use 3G, POP G-MAIL/MSN E-MAIL accts, and WI-FI with Skype...works at a reasonable level. The only other phone I would trade this one in for os the I-mate ultimate tablet - but it is taking 4ever to be released!

  • I love my Xda Trion phone, its worked brilliantly for months now and i wouldnt change it. As For Charging It - Fine.

  • Hey *very interested in buying this phone - my main query is about accessing my hotmail account(s). Is this possible using the O2 XDA Trion..?* Long story cut short.. YES! Hotmail and MSN accounts work fine. Just log into Pocket MSN and a Hotmail folder will be created in your messages box.

  • Hello. *can anyone help just brought XDA Trion- i can connect to the internet but the pages are not showing any information-ideas?* Go into your programs and go into o2 operator settings. Select your location and the device will reset after. If this does not work, contact your SP and ask for manual mobile web settings. Hope this helps.

  • Hey *Anyone had any problems with the Trion battery life - I have had it for a few months now and I have to charge it twice a day!* Nope. And I know a few people with this device now. Possibly how you are using it. Try changing your power settings or stop draining the phone!

  • Hi *does this have a virtual keyboard in it as well?* Yep it's there!

  • Sorry Ij but the information you posted is incorrect... *there is blackberry connect software available from www.o2.co.uk/xda select already have an xda and select the exec (this runs on the same firmware as the trion so will work) scroll to software update and select more information enter imei and phone number and the software can be downloaded hope this helps some of you* This does not work so please don't try it people. The trion operates on a very different firmware version and BIS or blackberry is unsupported currently. Hey the Mini and Exec were when they were released and now they have software updates! It will be released soon. keep checking www.my-xda.com

  • martyn, connects for free boyo, when using wifi you'll just pay for the broadband you use at home such as bt/virgin etc.

  • Am quite keen on the Trion. Does any one know if it can be used as a voice recorder? Probably a dumb questions..? Thanks muchly! Waffles

  • hey, can this connect to my home wirless connection for free? or do i pay for that? thanks

  • very interested in buying this phone - my main query is about accessing my hotmail account(s). Is this possible using the O2 XDA Trion..?

  • "can someone tell me if i can get skype on this phone?" Hi Lowen, yes you can get skype run on this phone since it has a fast processor - 400 MHz, which is more than enough (minimum CPU/hardware requirement is 200 MHz). Read more - Good luck!

  • can anyone help just brought XDA Trion- i can connect to the internet but the pages are not showing any information-ideas?

  • Anyone had any problems with the Trion battery life - I have had it for a few months now and I have to charge it twice a day!

  • is this O2 equipped radio fm and an autofocus camera?

  • Had it now for around a month - its fantastic - i use it for emails adn as an external modem for my laptop when out and about - much cheaper than using these internet cafe / coffee shops who charge you the earth for a days worth of use - dead easy to set up as well. Does anyone know whether you can use as a webcam? Cheers J-Dub

  • This is a great phone, and has a faster processor, I would recomend getting this phone for the power, and stability, and get the Tom Tom Software separately (with the Bluetooth GPS reciever). For more info go to www.tomtom.co.uk and select mobile PDA.

  • This phone is better as its 3g - however, if you want a fantastic sat nav phone and good looking device, go orbit. I have the orbit and it really is a fantastic good all rounder. The sat-nav on the orbit is second to none - (dont use the sat nav that comes with it though - download tom tom 6 from www.mininova.org - full version) Enjoy!

  • does this have a virtual keyboard in it as well?

  • This phone is the best phone ever. No one come test even the Nokia N95. The only problem is the Navigation. Can anyone show me where i can get a Tom Tom for this phone? Keep it up 02 and i am a big fan fan. The word excel and every thing about this phone is perfect and working well.

  • which is better this phone or the xda orbit? i am very confused now as i want one of them but dont know which???

  • can someone tell me if i can get skype on this phone?

  • i've bought this phone for about 3 weeks...there is no problem with the bluetooth and the touch screen...so far so good..i'm quite satisfied with this phone

  • I don't know where Jonathan got that from I've had the O2 Trion for a few weeks and the bluetooth works flawlessly with my phone. Trion to Sony Ericson 910i, Jabra, and my BMW 320d Touring (Even showing the whole phone and sim phone numbers on the radio console)

  • Bluetooth does not work on this phone as i have had three replacement phones. If you need bluetooth do not buy this phone

  • i have problem with my touch screen. i cant use wit touch pen. only a keyboard. so, tell me what might be the problem of my touch screen? any experience n expert here?

  • there is blackberry connect software available from www.o2.co.uk/xda select already have an xda and select the exec (this runs on the same firmware as the trion so will work) scroll to software update and select more information enter imei and phone number and the software can be downloaded hope this helps some of you

  • i'm an owner of a dopod 838 PRO, which is the O2 trion equivalent in asia. yep there is a free software you can download to enable the device for blackberry services. re: micro SD -- i bought a 1 gig one for around 10 U$ equivalent. a 2 gig one is also available for around twice that price but they ran out of stocks here, so i'm still waiting for it to arrive.

  • I think, there's an application that you can download so that it will support blackberry.

  • Can anyone tell me if this supports blackberry? I am an XDA IIi user who intends to upgrade. I am pretty dissatisfied with the battery life.

  • this phone does not use the mini sd as stated by this page!!!! it takes a micro sd i learned this the hard way! take note!

  • I got this phone on 02 yesterday. Im sending it back today. The reception is terrible. I was all over london and the surrounding areas yesterday and never saw a decent amount of reception. When you do get a measley two bars you still cant hear the person on the end of the phone, mind you thats not so bad as they cant hear you anyway!Ive had to call o2 7 times since 9am yesterday. I never had any issues like that with 3. So Im going back there. They dont have as many smart phones but these days a nokia e65 will do the job. Ive had terrible experiences with this phone. Added to that is the fact that the handset was faulty anyway! A couple of 45 minute calls with o2 tech support, dropped calls, missing files, poor reception and lastly the phone came completely un-set up meaning the first of a few long calls with 02 to get the settings set up. Get this phone at your own risk

  • l don't know what's happening to my earpiece, l can't hear anything now please advice. [email protected]

  • it uses micro sd

  • Can i ask if anyone know howe you can make sure webpages are downloading through WLAN and not trought the mobile tarif. I think that is a great XDA as i was waiting months for the Zinc i am happy that it took so long and the was pulled as i think this is a far better xda. Thanks

  • hi can u tell me abt the mem card slot in the O2 XDA Trion is it hving a mini or micro card slot coz i guess all other similar models like t-mobile varion II, imate jasjam, qtek 9600, htc tytn, dopod 808 pro are having micro mem card slots pls advice on the trion coz i gonna buy this pda sohrtly...

  • The Trion is made by HTC and has newer software than the Zinc which is made by AsusTek.

  • is there an upgrade available to windows mobile 6 for this phone??

  • HI all I have been using the handset for 6 months, screen alignment problems? un heard of have used this baby to the full potential, emulator spot on 3g spot on tom tom 6 like a dream, I have had a few niggles but nothing a soft reset cant fix as u are all prob aware. Don�t knock it till you have tried it 9/10 in my ratings

  • I'm currently trialling this device for O2 in the UK. I happen to think that so far so good, it's a good reliable handset and any problems I've found so far I'm passing back to my superiors to have them check out before launch later this month.

  • I've been using this phone for 2 months, and I don't recommend it. First of all, my phone LCD has alignment problem. Secondly, it crash all the time. The worst of all, sometimes I can't receive a call nor a text. I don't really know why that happened. Due to this problem, I need to restart my phone all the time.

  • could anyone tell me what the differences are from the Trion to the Zinc?

  • This phone is an excact copy of the DOPOD 838 PRO. I do not recommend you to buy this phone, it only has a 400Mhz processor and its pretty laggy( ive use this phone before), now i have changed to the O2 xda zinc.. thats a SUPERB phone, and super fast processor (520mhz processor) no more laggy applications... in conclusion.. i DO NOT recomend u to buy this phone due to its 400mhz processor. it is also and EXCACT COPY of the DOPOD 838 PRO. Cant O2 think of some better design!? I SUGGEST O2 XDA ZINC(SUPERB PHONE)!!!!

  • This is very first time i'm using toch screen + keypad phone.when i goy the O2 it's with german language software and i did try to change english language. it wont change is there is any one can help me

  • I've got a big problem: when I switch on my O2 Xda Trion it stops at the Windows page and not goes on. I tried to restore the original Rom but it's impossible to do. And now I can't synchronize my phone with my pc. Can somebody help me? Thanks.

  • This the o2 xda zinc in the UK?

  • I am thinking about buying this phone, but there is conflicting rumors about the speed of text messaging with this phone. can anyone verify? (people say its very slow/not very good..?)

  • This phone is great. I luv it! The only issues is the camera. It's only gud for eBay. Everything else is brilliant: The screen is sharp, the keyboard is perfect and it's my first phone with decent recognition of hand writing (yeah, I really use it!). And it supports WLAN which is the best part. You can skype (free phone calls!) all over the campus. Trion rules!

  • For all the people that have the phone can u tell me, how does it feel, to have it cuz i just see pictures of it on the computer and wish i had it but i wiil get it in 2 months time hahahahahahahah......... to all of my frinds that were slaging me cuz i don't have a phone,,,look at me now (thats when i get my phone)it's like way better than urs hahahahahahahahahahha..............

  • I really want 2 get the xda trion, i kept asking me parents and they said that i can get it for my birthday which is in like 2 months!!!!!!and my twin sister copied me with it so then i told her that she can get another xda phone so now she is going 2 get the xda zinc ..like how happy am i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how do you check the software version? i cant find the info anywhere. is the software version and ROM version the same?

  • to janos : well if you talking about screen resolution, yes i'm agree with you we can distinguish it....SE t 610 has 128x128 screen resolution that's why we can distinguish it....try to distinguish phone picture with same resolution but different colour such SE p910 and SE p900 or nokia e70 and n80..or try to distinguish the colour display of your computer display between 16 bit and 32 bit...

  • this phone is wicked! just one Q. can we take pictures from the video cam? Thanks:)

  • I just got this phone (mines a 8525) after having a Nokia 6681 and it blows it away and the qwerty keyboard is a great upgrade for me the only thing that is an issue is the camera its 2 megapixels but it doesent have a zoom and has issues with color in low light or to much light and all in all the camera isnt something to envy but it is a great phone and pocket pc

  • Radja, are you kidding? The eye can easily distinguish between 65k, 256k and 16 million colours. More colours equals better blending, and better blending makes a better picture. Honestly, go find a phone with 65k colours, the SE T610 for example, and compare an image on it with an image on a computer screen (16million + colours) and tell me there is no difference.

  • to tee : surely it would be trouble to type in single hand even just for a word. a human eye can't see the differences between 65k colors, 256k or even 16Million colors...mean that this gadget screen is great even it's only provide 65k colors...

  • Has anyone managed to install TOM TOM Navigator on this phone.....if so what version runs on it?

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

  • Well, the O2 XDA Trion has officially burned out on me. The LCd screen is just plain blacked out, and it will not come on, yet it seems that I can receive phone calls!! I just cannot see the screen anymore. I even tried removing teh battery, resetting the device etc - nothing. Dam these phones burn out fast! Let's see if import GSM will replace it.

  • and can u tell me where i can down load applications such as ir remote control for tv or programes

  • i bought a 02 xda trion off a mate but i has no ring or music sounds why is this can i do anything to get it back i tried all the menu thing like volume and stuff cant get it to active sync either i just got the handset no box or accessories email me with any info thanks

  • I just wanted to know if you are able to type text using the QWERTY keyboard with only 1 hand??? I really like everything about this device but I sometimes hate the hassle of having to tap the screen or slide the keypad & have to use 2 hands just to type 1 word (I'm always on the go). I know you might tell me to not get a SLIDE phone/pda but I have to have all the specs of this device, plus I like the design & all. One other thing; can anybody post a picture taken from this pda? Also, how's the quality of the LCD? I dont know if I like the 65K colors...is the LCD sharp?! PLEASE I need a response from a user of this PDA. Thanks in advance

  • It says that this phone was announced in May and is available. However when I contacted my O2 service provider they are telling me that it might only be released on 27/11/06? Are the Trion's readily available in the UK or is it just the Service Provider who does not have them released yet?

  • Thanks for the insight Alan duly noted :) One thing I recently found is that this phone does support A2DP - it's a FANTASTIC way to listen to MP3s via Bluetooth and wireless headphones. MP3's sound incredible with clear CD quality. Now I know why the phone does not have an input jack for wired headphones. :-)

  • hello, whit this phone you can wath videos from you tube???

  • 2Z15, yes, there is the o2 xda flame with reportedly 3.6" VGA touchscreen!

  • starscream, trust me. i dun believe any telco is running hsdpa yet coz it is 3.5g. UMTS is 3g. we are still at 3g. is just that ur phone is for the future n u dun have to buy any new phone when hsdpa is launched :-)

  • regarding conference calling, the phone itself does support 3-way calling if you have it with your carrier...otherwise NO. You can use skype with multiple parties as an alternative on this phone. I hate listening on the outer speaker however.

  • Allan, I read teh articles, but trust me, I've had the phone for months and it nevers picks us HSDPA only UMTS so it does NOT have 3.5G wioreless as I mentioned - only 3G. Maybe its different in the US, if you are using this phone in USA, let me know what carrier is provoding 3.5G - but I use Cingular and it UMTS is teh only speed it can pick up.

  • Can someone please tell me if this phone has conference call option. Thanks.

  • Great phone, well designed, keyboard is easy to use.

  • check out the articles. this unit does support hsdpa.

  • The O2 XDA does NOT support 3.5G(HSDPA) @ 1.8Mb speeds. It only supports UMTS @ 384kb speeds. Bali, MicroSd is the most miniature SD card out right now the approximate size of your pinky fingernail to get an idea. The O2 XDA Trion does not have a jack to plug in headphones! If you listen to MP3's it will be using the external speaker. I was not too dissapointed as I have an Ipod I use of Mp3's. -Starscream

  • is there any new pocket pc phone coming from o2 in 3.5" screen size in near future?if yes than when? i am looking for big screen size ( 3.5" ) pocket pc phone from o2.

  • is it support HSDPA (HIGH-SPEED DOWNLINK PACKET ACCESS) ??? cuz in my country marketing campaign, said that this Trion (known as Dopod 838 pro) support HSDPA...Kinda confuse of buying P990 or Trion..

  • Spoke to o2 uk today and they say the XDA Zinc and XDA Graphite will be the next releases on 15th Jan 2007.

  • is the mp3 in stereo? and the sound quality is it good when listening mp3 on headphones or earphones? bcoz i dont want to carry a phone and mp3 player at the same time. And is it available in Middle East specially in Kuwait and for how much in Kuwait dinars or in US dollars? Tnx...

  • ummmm you know whats weard is on the leter key bored on this phone the y and the z are in the wrong order.

  • O2 Trion battery standby time spec at 300hr and the similar Dopod 838 Pro spec it at 220hr, and HTC TyTn spec it 200hr, is O2 spec cfm correct? Thanks.

  • BEST poket pc ever!!! I love it!

  • Hi, I just want to ask you guys if you have any idea regarding the usage of 4Gigaytes micro SD in my Trion? Can the Trion maximize it's use of micro SD card up to 4Gigabytes? Thanks a lot.

  • so which is better? VGA video camera congerence or VGA video conference?

  • Hi guys I bought O2 Trion 2 days ago and I found out that all the user guide are in Germany. After that, I found out that HTC is the real manufacturer. You can go to this site for ROM extend, user manual and some helpful programs for your pocket PC: Hope you guys found this information helpful. Have a good day

  • The speakerphone is good, No it does not have radio, it can play MP3's, Skype not a problem either which are the nicest features I like. Add a 1Gb Micro slot card, and you can record up to 5 minutes of video. The 2MP camera is very good!

  • hi guys! i want 2 kno does this pda have RADIO?and how is the speaker phone sound...good or just ok and wat abt its headset sound..anything else u want 2 tell plzz tell..i m interested in buyin this set...thanx

  • Looking at the Dopod 838Pro but I live in Australia and there appears to be a hold up on delivery. Just got told the new devlivery date of mid Nov, from the original early Oct. Major bummer as I have already ordered the Dopod (but can cancel). Need some advice on a couple of things. First the camera, the Dopod gets great reviews but there seems to be some dodgy comments about the JasJams camera. Are they the same!? Second, the Dopod advertises 11g but the JasJam says 11b/g with reviews saying the JasJams real speed is 11b!? Is this the same for both or does the Dopod have real 11g? Thanks and by the way the JasJam is available in Australia. Good to see we are not totally left behind.

  • what difrenc in these fones qtek 9600 i-mate jasjam htc tytn o2 xda tiron kindly tel me

  • please somebody can help me..because i can found the english language in this phone..everything in germany. Did this phone can change in english language.? and did anybody have the guide book in english for 02 trion? thx alot ....

  • Hi M, That's interesting news, I've been chasing o2 UK for some time on the same matter and have been getting no where fast. Your comment about HTC dropping partnership with o2 UK is interesting, as if you notice o2 will soon launch the o2 Cosmo which is 'ditto' HTC S620 !!! So if what you have been advised is correct then why are HTC involved on this one(which is later model)but not the Trion???.......I feel that you were advised wrongly or maybe it's wishfull thinking on my part.

  • Unfortunately, it transpires O2 trion will not be released in UK due to HTC droping its O2 partnership... Anyone with more/ different news ??

  • is this phone already available in the Philippines? to pinoys: i just checked some stores at the SM-ASIA, they don't have stocks yet :'( better try greenhilss maybe..

  • which kadai batu satu u talking about ah? kan tau jua ku tu. pls ah... kadai mana..? tq.

  • is there FM Radio?

  • This is an attractive phone with a good host of features, but here are my following questions: 1) How secure is it to store sensitive information? 2) How's the video and camera shots when using the 2 megapixel camera? 3) How's the voice/sound quality when using the phone?

  • Samsung Processor is actually based on ARM so i guess any applications developed for ARM should suitable. So, far i have installed these applications on my HTC TyTN (which is similar to O2 XDA Trion and Dopod 838Pro) and there is no problem at all. Only Dopod 838Pro and HTC TyTN are available now in Brunei... they are similar to 02 XDA Trion. I got mine for B$1388 only...

  • hey guys, im in the market for a PPC. I was wondering, will the Samsung processor on this baby have problems with applications meant for the ARM or XSCALE processor based PPC's? Also, comparing this and the JasJar, which is the best? because I feel that since im purchasing a device like this, I might as well buy the one with the most resources. I need abundant RAM and a high clock speed.

  • Is it available in Brunei now? How is it compare to Dopod 838 Pro? Cos the Dopod 818 crashes quite numerous times and you can't even switch it off when it crashes. Where can I get the Trion?

  • Telephone is Perfekt! i bought it yesterday, but there is not so much freeware software:(

  • Brunei: The Batu Satu shop is calld DellSys tu kali

  • I have been using different modles of O2 phones from about 3yrs now & believe me these are the best phones.I want to change my modle to XDA Trion but does this phone have Group SMS Sending which is not their in XDA mini which i am using now.Kindly Reply. Thanks. Ritesh India.

  • I bought mine @ www.importgsm.com. They are here in the USA, but will ship internationally.

  • can any of the people that own this phone tell me whether or not the video quality is good? im hoping its much better than the older xda/qtek/htc/spv models..i hate replaying a captured video only to notice that the sound is much slower than the video feed..thanks

  • i'm searching over the world looking for this phone. i met someone from uk(internet) then offered me usd200 for this phone, i don't whether this person is doing the right thing or not, i also not sure whether this phone already released in uk or not therefore i hope anyone can guide me.

  • brunei: which shop in btu satu can i get the fon???

  • tiziano, i dont believe you need to install any software.. have you tried checking the network settings on the trion? there should be an icon you can press with the stylus..it should be the logo of your service carrier..im not sure but you can give that a try..

  • In my area Umts is ok, my carrier is ok but I can't videophone. I should see the key "videophone" but is not present. Is normal or I've to install any software? Thanks.

  • you need to find out first if the location you are in has signal for a 3g network..also remember that the person you are trying to video call needs to have a phone that has video calling features as well..hoe is the video recording on the trion? is it decent or just like the older xda when the voice is faster than the video?

  • I've just received O2 Xda Trion but I'm not able to do video-calls (Umts works). I can't find the option in the phone program. Is a software-problem (to install) or one problem with my telephone carrier??? I need one manual of it in english or italian, where can I find it? Thanks.

  • I just had an interesting conversation with O2 business regarding the release of the XDA Trion in the UK. First person I spoke to told me that the Trion was not on the 15 week schedule of new phones releases so it definately wouldn't be released in that time. So I phoned a different number at O2 and was told that the Trion is expected sometime late August or September??!!! I told the man what I had previously been told by the other rep and he says that is rubbish and that the unit is currently being tested by the testing unit prior to it's UK release! So it seems the phone is coming to the UK...but I bet if I call a third person at O2 they will tell me something completely different...*sigh* Why dont these people sing from the same hymnsheet? Anyone heard any different news on the Trion's UK release date (if ever?)?? Al

  • @ Phone_Freeq How are the keypads "z" and "y" behaving? I've read on the website of importgsm that they have an issue about it? Thanks!

  • just wondering..does this device already have the MSN Messenger program programmed onto the the phone or must you download it first?

  • da pone is olready out in brunei..get it from btu satu..the price is around $1598..hmm..awesome fone!

  • hey jason, dopod838 pro is similar made by same manufacturer. yes it does support chinese language, perhaps on the sms, mms. Check out at this address, I am getting mine 2moro. Goodluck 2u.

  • how is the camera and video recording performance on the trion?

  • It is using a micro SD slot not mini SD

  • I checked. Buy still doesnt support chinese language

  • Thanks 4d website from cyprus and as for jason, i think u dont need to ponder when this O2 trion is in, however the dopod 838pro is the same model recently launched in malaysia. check it out, i dont want to wait, i m getting one. good luck 2u.

  • Stop wondering where to buy this phone. It is already for more than 2 weeks available from the REAL MANUFACTURER HTC and it is the TyTN. Check it out on the website and you will see price as well with FULL spec. It is the perfect size and instead of buying the P990 you can buy this instead as it is a Window based mobile as well. By the way, the REAL manufacturer is HTC so why bother to buy it as an I-Mate or O2. HTC is the main player from now on and who knows....may be they will stop producing it for I-mate!! In regards to O2 ATOM and O2 ATOM EXEC both models are produced by another manufacturer (Not HTC) and this is the reason that they have Intel processor with FM radio.

  • Ya. Wondering when this phone going to release to malaysia and Brueni Market? I really interested to get one with the chinese language support. Because i am sure this phone will soon the best utilities for me to organise my daily and monthly business issue. For instant, on spot estimation, short presentation and so on.

  • Hey gooner, U r rite, man. I just spoke to my relative in London, asked her to get it for me but true, they have no inkling about this phone. They even posted the latest O2 brochure, it has the O2 XDA Exec, known to be the latest there. I was so desperate that I even provide them this website, so disheartening to hear that they do not possess this model!

  • To my opinion. The phone should configured to support all languages in the world. Atleast supporting chinese language. I meant we are multi rational world. Even in Eupore, i believe this will sure open up a bigger market. See. I am the best example. If say this phone support chinese language i think i must have order from oversea and not waiting for to release to malaysia or brunei market.

  • o2 UK did out knw everything of it.. they dun1 to out this product.. only GErman o2

  • how can it be avaliable on t-mobile when its a o2 branded phone!???? And also some ppl like to still listen to the radio!!

  • I have just rung O2 UK to ask about this phone and they have told me they know NOTHING about it at all! What gives? I want this phone!

  • agreed what would y would u want a radio on a fone when its got mp3 play ;)

  • I bought the phone from ImportGSM, but be warned, it's the German version & all the manuals & quickstart guides are in German. They will send you a PDF version in English & they programmed the phone to work on Cingular for me. If you are familiar with MS Windows Smartphone or PDA software, the phone is easy to figure out. IT IS AN AWESOME PHONE!!! Another thing, all these websites that list the memory card slot as having a mini SD are WRONG, it's a microSD (transflash) slot, which is only available in 1 GB @ the moment.

  • what's up with this radio thing? don't you guys have some better things to do on Trion than listen some stupid radio?!

  • the fone 3G internet can do every thing,such as skype .FM .......

  • Its a pity that such a great phone does not have a radio...

  • its better got radio. If go radio more perfect...

  • i jus saw this device is on sale www.importgsm.com !!! $799.99 it's a lot but this device kicks butt!

  • just switch the language option to english

  • I bought a XDA Trion O2 in Frankfurt, the Windows OS and all Software into it are in Germanz Language, so would someone tell me how can I change the OS and the other softwares to English? Thank you. Rot

  • Does it have FM radio

  • Is the qwerty keyboard, backlit?

  • Is there a fax software available for Trion?

  • How can i get an unlocked unit in the US? in addition, does the trion be loaded with Microsoft� Outlook Mobile with Direct to Push Technology just like the Atom Exec?

  • well finally it seems i can get an upgrade to my XDA Exec. I have to admit the exec has a few flaws such as the camera but in general has been an awesome phone. I just hope that HTC finally wakes up in regards to the headphone jack,i cant believe they made it a mini usb jack that then plugs in a standard adapter,why not leave it how it was on the Exec???!!!! Another thing i noticed was the branding issue in regards to who would be supplying the phone,HTC has the grey buttons to indicte more clearly where the numeric keys are situated which i think is great for easier acsess so wtf have o2 ruined it by keeping all the keys the same colour,dont they realise that some times if it aint broke, you dont need to fix it??!! Anyway until this phone is out i guess we'll have to sit and wait paitiently....now can somone tell me, is there ever going to be an app like agile messeneger that will allow the use of the 3G video call cam as a web cam, this is the only thing missing if you ask me to make this and other XDA 3G phones the best all round phones on the market????

  • It's gorgeous! Hi to Tim & Monet!

  • This is more like executive phone, it doesnt need a radio. There are better phones that are more entertainment oriented with radio. This is different than Atom Exec because this has 3G, and also a keyboard.

  • it better have a radio.

  • it will be available on t-mobile in uk in about 2 months time

  • hi guys, this PDA/phone looks and sounds great, but what about the new Atom exec. which one has better display, better sound, better camera. the OS is the same so there is no diff there. anybody has read any new reviews....

  • This phone will come out directly under HTC name brand as HTC TYTN (pronounce titan). It will come out by the end of July 06, where? I dont know! The price will be around $1000 USD.

  • definitely this phone works in the philippines. Its a quadband phone. Smart and Globe uses 900 and 1800 mhz. however, this phone might not be available for purchase there.

  • hi, i like PDA, Im just wondering if this xda trion will work in the philippines. thanks

  • Allan, the phone is made by another company (HTC) and re-branded by who ever wants to sell it... It is the same phone. HTC make the majority of smart/pc phones.

  • Yes, I agree with Mr.Allan. HTC is the manufacturer for O2,Qtek,I-mate and may be for some other companies. That's the design for all models look almost 100% similar. Recently (in this month) HTC has announced, it will involved in sales and marketing by itself using brand name HTC. I expect that will no more the similarities. You can see in its website

  • ive always wondered about this type of phone & have a question???? On my c550 which i have if i play jawbreaker for example the joy pad does left/right/up/down & push in centre to play the game ,,,,does the control pad at the bottom of these better devices operate the same as a joypad type effect..I have been studying like mad to get updated on these type of devices as hav been using symbian mainly & the spv c500,,c550 type devices & wish to update to this type of touchscreen device...Also do they playback steady widescreen video of good resolution or are the processors still not up to much & need a graphics accelarator to cope ,,cheers

  • to Arash_ath, simple explanation, HTC manufacture this device, O2, I-Mate, Qtek, Mda...etc buy the unit and name it what they like.

  • Can Any Body Explain That Why The Picture Of This Fone And Jasjam is The sAme?????

  • O2 UK doesn't currently have a release date for this model, though I hope we'll get a date soon! This does look like a stunning phone, will be interested to see how the Samsung processor performs. I own a Mini S and love it to bits, but it does need a little more ooomph to make it perfect, which hopefully the 400MHz will do.

  • can anybody xplain, why internal RAM for this model only 64MB. It supposedly had high spec RAM. For example 02 XDA 2 RAM is 128MB.I think it were effect the performance...

  • it will finally be a great buy!

  • its a nice pda phone!

  • I am an enthusiast of O2 phones & PDA. Now, I am waiting its arrival at the Sungei Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I hope the price affordable to low or medium income customers

  • For the moment it's the best.It has 3g,400hz.You can use skype.

  • Does anyone know if this phone has a FM radio??

  • Just had an email from O2 technical support. They say that this is a German only device and wont be released in UK..:( DAMN IT!!!

  • it'e really cool, i am waiting for its launch in indonesia.

  • the screen is still smaller then the XDA 2i nothing as good as that has yet been put on the market this is not progress

  • i am waiting for its launch in india

  • it is really cool. i love it.

  • Look to my view. You don�t need any friend or girlfriend in yours weekend nights if you have this sweet-heart.

  • thank God,this brand is not imported yet in Greece!

  • This phone is making me JIZZZZ!!!

  • Surely this is SE P990 KILLER!!.if this fone release before SE P990, SE will cry out loud feel sorry for their stupidity. i think another phone company like Dopod and I Mate will release this HTC Hermes with the price cheaper then O2.

  • This is cool product when it will be lounch I waiting for that

  • no coments it,s amazingly phone

  • Think o2 will support 3G only initially. The when HSDPA aka 3.5G arrives, it will release an update. Fair enough i guess so long the upgrade is free.

  • This phone will be released in Singapore by Dopod.

  • Oh dear sir it's a 3.5G (HSDPA) device plz confirm it that it is not 3G but 3.5G.The best ever pocket pc phone only if it have GPS and VGA display but overall best one.

  • Thats because its a non english keyboard layout.. I saw this phone on a German site, and on another site which pointed out it had a German keyboard layout.... do you really think they would have made them, and not noticed one of the keys was wrong..???

  • "QWERTZ" is the german layout for a keyboard because Z is more commonly used in german language than Y. Makes sense since not only do O2 operate O2-Germany, but GSM Arena is a German Website. This is obviously a variation and no doubt they will release "QWERTY" keyboards for every country that uses "QWERTY". Also, not that the french use "AZERTY" keyboards. Most European countries have many variances in the placement of letters, not just the first 6.

  • its a kool looking pda but there is blander made its not a qwerty keyboard it has qwertz keyboard they should chk it this before launching it in the market, keys r not in right place 'y' is in place of 'z' but nice to have but after correction............

  • Any FM radio?

  • i love it,buy ......surely

  • I love the sliding keyboard -would've got a mini s but heard the processor is a little slow -and also the cam is a bit shoddy.... shame really

  • I Love it.I hope its comming soon in germany. But i dont know when???

  • i think this ppc will be the best ppc in the market, and i have to buy it. (good size and performance).

  • Finally! The PDA phone that's worthy of my liking. Long time ago, I used XDA II, it came to terms that I needed a 3G phone but the Exec is not my liking. So I just bought Nokia N70 and a Separate PDA XDA IIs. But this one is definitely my next buy, it fulfills all my needs. An ample processor, wi-fi, a qwerty keyboard without the twist-sub-note design of the Exec, and of course 3G!

  • This is a much better phone as compared to the P990 on the specs..and better design..nice cuts...and O2 will be launching it...SE ppl are lost its been almost 7-8 months and P990 is still not out...O2 is better,,with Windows platform it rocks..as well..better screen..and visibilty..and better keys..who would go and buy the p990 now??

  • just got an email from o2 datasupport UK who say there are no plans for the Trion to be released in the UK at this time only in Germany, but this may change

  • This is my next PDA Phone! I think the design is better than the XDA Exec.

  • think i'll be havin this as my next upgrade, had the mini s but its little software glitch of the phone application not responding following any form of internet connection, causing me to constantly soft reset it caused me to sell straight away and get the xda 2i, with any luck, this software glitch will have been sorted and the processor being quicker will also mean the difference in speed between this new trion and my xda 2i will be almost unnoticable

  • I am waiting for P990 but looks like this is a good alternative, for me now it is a race between Trion and P990, I will buy whichever comes out first as my P900 is really dying.....

  • Is it the xda that will take over the xda mini s? Thanks...

  • great phone but will o2 add blackberry like on the xda 2,i and s yes shure mobile 5 has exchange push email but blackberry alows up to 10 different email acounts

  • The best phone eva
