I have my o2 xda zinc since 2006.The problem here is that im here in Cebu right now and i find it hard to go to Malate since its the only Service Center of O2 here in the Philippines. I just want to know if im going to change my O2 xda zinc casing together with its battery,how much would it cost in total?... including also the QWERTY keypad... I just want to know so i know how much to pay just in case. Everything on the unit is still ok except for the battery and the cover front and back and then the keypad... the screen also is not fine. Please reply me back soon. Thank you so much.

i have my phone for 2yrs...i have the same problem but i have solve it.... you have to hard reset it. remove first all your important documents(pictures,video etc.) and remove your external memory card. to hard reset your phone,just press and hold the UP botton and while holding it press the small hole on the right side just like doing soft reset and then just follow the direction. Goodluck!

To reformat it, basically the soft-reset, you just need to press the navigation-up key together with the reset button (which is the small button at the right bottom)

Hi. I'm using a O2 XDA Zinc in Malaysia with Maxis 3G connection. Runs perfect. No problem. I'm not sure what you mean by no connectivity. If you are still having problems, upgrade the software to WM6 professional (Available on the O2 website)

DN

Dear all, I own a 02 Zinc, for some reason my Outlook Contact and Calendar is missing? Is there any way I can reinstall the whole hardware. (a) Is that the right action to pursue? (b) If yes, which prg should I download and where can I get iy. I bought hardware 2nd hand, so no prog disk came with it. Many thanks. Desperate.

metto

mat,stop talking nonsense.im from malaysia also and i got no problem using it with celcom,digi,maxis.unless u bought the phone from overseas.other than that,stop talking nonsense and shaming malaysian for your stupidity.

MAT

hi, i'm from malaysia. my question is, my o2 cannot use several operator line, why this problem happen?

myke

in reply to your questions here it is. 1. press power on and reset for hard reset. 2. software to use is, microsoft active sync 4.5 or later, downloadle from microsoft.com 3. the same software may apply for laptop synchronization and internet connection. 4. you may synchronize everything, including task,email (when set correctly), notes, contacts, and the same, you may install new programs, backup contacts from your phone, etc. 5. there is still no upgrade of software from WM 5 to WM 6.5, however there are sites which shares freely their ported os with the same model, modded. and if your courageous enough and not afraid to brick your phone, try this link remember, be responsible for all your actions. thank you moderators. sorry for the link....just wanted to help...:) good day always...

myke

try hard resetting your device so it will reinstall its software... enjoy...

i have been using O2 xda zinc WM5 almost 2 yrs. I have nothing facing any problem on this model. It's easy to use. What i am always practice is to syncro my phone with my notebook almost every week to keep my phone running smoothly. I already upgraded my ROM avaiable in the website. pls, don't disturb the file explorer if you are not use to it. Any Missing file will make yr phone unstable. Those who are not fimiliar with computer, i belive will facing a problem using PDA phone.

O2xda is my most expensive phone but i sold it after 5 months for a quarter of its original price just to get rid of it. its the most frustrating, disppointing, disgustingand useless phone i've ever had. i almost threw it out of frustration. i will never buy an O2 again.NEVER AGAIN! 02 IS NOTHING BUT JUNK!

76ers

piece of junk in my honest opinion. been using for more than a year. had to deal with button not working, can't disconect call with button, hanging. the latest problem that is most irritating is the phone disconnect from the mobile network. The phone still shows that it has signal but when you try to text or call it will fail. You have to reset the phone or on/off from the wireless manager. Am using the latest rom already. Hay............so frustrating. Would NOT recommend this phone to anyone. Support is pathetic...........

ppk

Hold the navigation UP button and do a hard reset. This reinstalls the software and it works fine for sometime. also upgrade the ROM from Hope this solves the issue

Hi all Iam using O2 XDA-Zinc since 6 months. OS-windows 6.0 Complaints - Hangs atleast 3 times daily.I have to Reset everytime to get rid of it.this repeates when iam involved in busy work & this problem disturbs me alot.This is a major drawback,in the past i have used imate-jam and eten-x500,but never faced the hanging problem,I took O2 because of its Keyboard,good design and system configuration. but iam not happy with its technical performance,Iam regretting I purchased it. O2 manufacturers has to focus on this problem

krist0ph3r

I've been using the zinc for over a year, and it's been an excellent pda phone. windows mobile 6 runs perfectly, battery life is excellent, and the features are awesome!!! my few (but nagging) issues: 1. o2 doesn't exist anymore, so i couldn't get my phone serviced even while it was under 1-year warranty. mwg apparently has gone in hiding, they request everyone to email them and then don't reply or even check their mail...terrible!!!) 2. some of the keys have become very hard. 3. call/hangup keys are quirky (i touch the screen to call/hangup these days) 4. plenty of bugs with a2dp (biggest bug: the phone plays audio on the loudspeaker instead of the headset, unless i reboot it! it will randomly again switch to the loudspeaker, and i have to reboot it again!) the wired port is excellent though. 5. my usb port ahs stopped working (it only charges now, data transfer has to be done over BT/using a card reader) 6. hot swap of memory cards has stopped working. i would never recommend this phone to anyone right now, but i couldn't have got anything better for the price or even anywhere close (at that time, of course)

Fahad

My XDA Zinc has become very slow. Sometimes the bell doesnt ring when there is an incoming call. Other than that, there are several issue which can only be resolved if i restart my phone. Is there a soft available for re-installing this device. Do i need drivers for the wireless and camera ? Please help

Nilanjan

This is one of the most disgusting phone that I have used in my last 9 years of mobile phone experience. Somehow in the last 15 months of ownership, i have managed to use it for 2/3 months without any issue...This phone has been a big trouble (believe me) from the very first day..it hangs, it dosnt connect calls, it shows zero memory, battery runs down...the problem is endless...anyway today finally i figured out that the company O2 dosnt exist anymore...my o2 misery story is endless and i have again given it for reformatting the software once again and just hoping that i am able to use it for sometime as insignificant returns of the $700 price I have paid...

Soool

Anyone experienced the same problem as me? Since ive changed my sim card, the phone always restart when i put it in my pocket... maybe its because ive charged it with usb (computer)... its unreliable... I think my phone turns off by itself so often, that i have to on it everytime i use it... im using WM6 now. Lastly... anyone have ever received the same messages frequently? i think i have received it 2 times a day for 3 days now... the message is the "misscall" message by the way. Is this a battery problem or phone problem? Should i change the battery?

Khawaja

One of the most unrealible gadgets i have ever bought.

OMG people... i've been using this phone running 2yrs now... all of your problems and whining could be easily solved by upgrading to the WM 6.0 jeezzz!!! www.seeo2.com click the xda zinc model then support.

I am kenyan, and have an O2 xda zinc type of phone. Recently it indicated to me that the memory was critically low and that i should delete some files from the file explorer but before i could do this it stopped opening my files or even make a call. Can you please advice what to do? Thanks in advance.

Knightfall

Actually I'm also using O2 Zinc for my E-books and it's working fine and perfect. Maybe to those peole that has hangups anf freezes on the phone you should install atleasr the O2 install utilities that comes with the unit or use spb pocket plus 4.0 so that your open programs closes properly and always install on your memory card maybe you have used up your built-in memory and always check where you put the data of your programs. Check your configurations for proper operation of your units. I've been using O2 Zinc for over a year now and it's working fine. I came from using an O2 Mini II

Shiv Prasad

I had bought O2Xda Zinc mobile one and half year back, presently I am facing problem on the volume, mobile getting hanged up network problems when ever in Mumbai (India)and net connections problem. Volume - I can't hear the person, volume is too low inspite of the volume bar showing maximum. Network - It takes a minimum of 10 minutes to get the network when in Mumbai, wereas other mobiles get the network in seconds. Hangup issues - Almost every second day the set is hanged up I have to close the mobile and restart it. Lastly my battery gets heated up and its gets discharged very soon i have to keep charging all the time. Kindly please suggest any service station in Delhi (India) so that I can get the problems rectified. Also please suggest where can I get a new battery as a back up solution.

I too foolishly bought the phone in Malaysia last year on holiday. It has given me nothing but trouble since then... The MWG service centre e-mail based-support is terrible with language barriers and you are left high & dry... The warranty is not valid in India and the India service centre is outsourced to a third party. It charges 15 GBP as "service" fees, parts extra...God only knows what "service" means as they usually aren't too forthcoming about what the problem was in the first place. The phone constantly hangs, gmail accounts do not work, the overall speed even with applications off is mediocre, pc sync issues all the time - either calendars or contacts... This is a high-end phone for most Indians and wonder what experiences like mine must be doing to their equity here...I warn everyone I know not to buy O2 phones regularly and am never going to buy O2 or MWG ever again...

jim

please help me...i cannot use my messaging feature on my phone(o2 xda zinc)...specifically sms and mms..it just don't open as usual...I don't no what is the problem..the other features just work fine the only problem I have encountered is my messaging...please help..

junkyskunky

hey julia if u got time to spare...try browsing over at xda-dev.com maybe you can find some answers for ur questions about your zinc. about your syncing issue, try downloading and reinstalling the latest activesync version. and its WM6 - windows mobile 6. tnx

Julia

I foolishly bought this phone whilst on holiday last year in the Philippines, no one in the uk is familiar with the device and sales staff in UK O2 stores tell me they can't help with the many problems the phone exhibits. Syncing to my home copmuter is exceedingly problematic. I have attempted to upgrade to MW6 but can't find the IMEI code for my device (settings-system info-359...)on any of the myxda.com upgrade lists. If anyone out there has a zinc IMEI: 3591300321735 and has upgraded from MW5 to 6 or 6.1 please tell me where to find a reliable site. I don't want to turn my phone into an expensive paperweight. Thanks.

Were can i download WM 6.0 for the xda zinc it's so hard to find i dont understand

aditie

plz guys, can u tell me how to hard reset the phone with WM6 installed. the 'press push up n soft reset button at the same time' doesn't seem to work. thx

CORRECTION: USE WINDOWS 6 insTead of WINDOWS 5 1. are you using windows mobile 6? if not, I suggest you upgrade to wm 6. WM 5.0 has many bugs. 2. check your wifi settings. it should connect to "internet" and not to "work" 3. try to reset your phone. 4. if all else fails, Hard reset your phone. I'm using an o2 xda zinc. I've got no problems at all. it's a good pda phone.

Hey, how do you transfer files to the storage card cos when i get the phone to connect via usb, it went to the phone memory instead of the storage card..please help. Email me, [email protected]

I have been using zinc for at least a year. i have one thing to complain about this device is the qwerty keyboard that is so annoying. i have to push it a bit harder to really connect the alphabetical key to appear. if anyone have the solution i will be glad to hear it. btw I have run testing the keys and all keys are working perfectly fine.

jeanzoran

ive got no problem at all with my O2 zinc unit, it's easy to use actually if you know what you are doing, even my internet explorer is working properly. it depends on the network that your using or if you have load ofcourse. if your a prepaid user and tries to connect to the internet without enough load i guess it will not load successfully. aslo i dont experience phone hangs or any issues that the other users are claiming.

Great phone. Had it for around a month, been having the time of my life with it. All I can say is to purchase this phone as new as possible and as good condition as possible. I was lucky to get a new one and it is great. One or two snags but could have been solved without the need to call the support line. So worth buying.

Carl

Buy it from a reputable dealer. I've had mine for a year with very few problems. It's been one of the best phones I've had.

Carl

I've had the O2 Zinc for about a year now and it's been the best phone I've had since I moved to Dubai three years ago. There's been a few quirks once and awhile but for the most part it's been a great phone. Guess it depends on where you buy it. I don't understand so many people having so many problems with this phone. I think it's great and I would buy it again.

efx123

terrible.never bought that a phone gave so much problems.it hangs perpetually.buttons jam a lot of times.when a call comes in, the recieve button jams, so you end up missing calls.the battery life is definitely not up to 5 hrs.it runs down so quick.used the O2 xda 11,before changing to zinc.its a big dissapointment

Hi I bought O2 Zinc from Singapore in Aug 2007 and since then I have been facing hanging problem at least 2 - 4 times in a day,voice breaks, speaker isn't great voice creeks, the person I am talking hears some kind of strange voices like aliens. Throw ur money in dustbin rather then buying this set

msh

I have zinc for almost 5 months, it used to be hanging 2-3 times per day, O2 support here in Dubai changed the board 2 times, still the same, I tried to sell it but was paid 30% of its original price (before they know that it hangs), i fed up with it and I replace it temporary with old Nokia. I think Iwill go for "Sony Ericsson P1i"

i just bought this handphone for 2 months nd now i sold it already.. dont buy this handphone... mostly hang.. hang ... nd hang.. must restart nd must soft restatr sometimes must go inside the system with save mode... it happened alot...

i personally don recommend pple to buy o2 zinc. i'm using it now and it is giving me a lot of problems. e call volume is very soft even after setting it to the max. u will nd a bluetooth headset or a earpiece to talk on the phone or else you wont b able to heard anything. a lot of softwares problems too. the speaker gives off a buzzing sound. there are a lot a lot a lot more problems. i went sent in my zinc for repair 3 times but the problems are still present. i down to the repair center and demand for a full refund or a new set but they refuse to. these are the following problems i encountered: � Unable to end call. � loud distortion sound heard by e other party when pick up programs end by itself when switching to other applications. � Volume of the normal profile was set to max. But when switched to silent mode and back to normal mode again, the volume was very soft even though the settings show that the volume was set to max. � not reading network status after soft reset. � volume of the loud speaker fluctuate during calls. � upon picking up a call with the receiver, the volume was very soft even though the volume was set to max. Have to press the increase volume button several times before the volume is loud enough to hear what the person in phone is saying. � after doing soft reset, last sent message was not found in sent items. � when message icon was selected, and after selecting 'text message', it shows 'today' screen and have to select message button again in order to type and send message. � when pressing the centre button or qwerty �enter� button, it will be hold onto when it is not. � After wireless is on, Bluetooth headset got disconnected after awhile. � Turn on by itself even after turning it to sleeping mode. � When tapped on messages or office documents, selected messages or office documents was highlighted instead of opening. � After finishing a phone call, the backlight goes off and stays off and I cannot access the Start menu. I can access all other functions but backlight stays off and one still can�t get into the Start menu from anywhere on the screen. I have to press the power off button quickly once and then wait a second, press it again to be able to access the start button or the light to come on. � Qwerty do not respond sometimes. Need to press several several times to type. � when wifi was already on, the status shows it as off. � suddenly got no reception in open area and will have to wait for several minutes before having reception. � phone calls ended by itself. � loud speaker gives off a buzzing sound after ending a phone call using loud speaker. in conclusion, do not buy o2 zinc. and also do not buy any o2 products in future. i am currently waiting for the release of sony ericsson x1((hopefully it comes with a video driver) and htc raphael(hopefully it comes with a video driver) and i'm going to trade in my zinc. if x1 and htc raphael doesnt comes with a proper video driver then i'll go for imate ultimate 9502. hope what i encountered do help you to make a better choice. :)

Agree with many others, very disappointing for the price. I must constantly check the device is not in "hang" mode which happens frequently and renders telephone inoperable.

I am the die-hard fan of O2 Product. I own Xphone, Xphone IIm , O2 Mini, O2 Stealth. Now using Zinc for about a month. I do not encounter hanging problem like some of the user mentioned. I log-on to my home network and hot-spot through wi-fi, no problem at all. I using fontpatch for wm6 and the ZTA4 Chinese input software . Work very well. .asp?SectionID=277&ParentID=255 Through my experience, the O2 program namely O2 plus, O2 Phone plus, SMS plus , O2 auto install program work well. I do not need other 3rd party software which do the same thing. Save $$$ Thumb up for O2. (My Xphone IIm and O2 Stealth up for grasp. Any takers do e-mail me.)

Just got a Zinc and very much disappointed of this acquisition. It refuses to work. It hangs uninterruptedly and even after hard resets. Appears cannot handle the features in it. Is there a solution that it can work lest it would be a waste of money. Indisputably not a cheap buy and it would hurt if it is to be thrown in the dust bin. Dealer here in India refuses to do anything.

Hi Guys, I bought this phone (my first PDA phone) and I am having problems with my battery. I noticed that a full charge will only last up to 5 hours.

hi! try installing a Divx Player... you will be able to play .AVI movies... but i do recomend that you first convert it to a Pocket Pc friendly .AVI movie file so that you would not be wasting your storage card space... i suggest SMARTMOVIE CONVERTER so to convert those .AVI files for PC for a friendly Pocket PC size...

The Zinc is by far the most problematic unit I have ever had. It hangs a lot even before you install any thing, the phone system is erratic, you can't call or send messages until you do a soft reset several times, to get everything back to normal. i bought it from Dubai and using it in Oman This is a very frustrating product... I cant seem to transfer my sim memory to storage card Anybody pls help .....

Daniel Ng

To change the sound alert is very straight forward. Record in .wav file and have in pasted into windows root folder (not any sub folder). Importantly, the file size must be below 1MB. Hope that helps.

I've been an O2 PDA user from its very early days, I have been upgrading to new models when they arrive in the market... from the XDA, to XDA II, XDA IIs, and now I'm using XDA Zinc. The Zinc is by far the most problematic unit I have ever had. It hangs a lot even before you install any third party apps, the phone system is erratic, you can't call or send messages until you do a soft reset several times, sometimes you even have to do a hard reset to get everything back to normal. The applications that comes with it are full of bugs too. I already upgraded to WM6 and it didn't solve my phone problems so I went back to WM5. It's still has a lot of problems and the local support in Manila has not been of any help. This is a very frustrating product... and I will probably not buy another O2 products again! I have spent countless days and hours of lost productivity time just resetting (both soft & hard reset) to make the system work. I no longer install all the applications I just recently bought (WM5 & WM6 compatible) to lessen the problems but they're still there. This by far the worst PDA phone I have ever had. Shame on O2. You destroy my trust in your brand!

it does support WM 6.0... you might screwed up when updating the ROM...very satisfied with the phone after the upgrade...more personalization...you are able to customize almost everything the interface and how it suits you on your daily use... well i was dissapointed before the upgrade (orig ROM WM5.0)... phone looses signal most of the time, windows media player doesn't allow you to create playlist, while creating sms or email and at the same time someone calls you the phone HANGS...well all of these problems were gone after the ROM UPDATE... and technical support team that is offered on www.seeo2.com is very responsive also... UP for this PHONE

Not happy

To anyone considering the O2 Zinc, Wait for the HTC Kaiser. You wont regret it. I have the Zinc and it conitnually crashing or loosing signals. WM6 doesnt work on the Zinc either. I had to downgrade the O/S to WM5.

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

Hi, just wondering which one is the best - O2 Xda Trion or O2 Xda Zinc? Is there a difference except its metallic body, secondary VGA video call camera, and the absence of EDGE technology. I just don't understand why didn't they integrate these devices with FM Radio and the built-in GPS like the E-ten X500, M700...??!! Hope their future products gonna feature these.

Hi all, I have successfully up ROM to WM6. Cross language has to be fixed through O2 service center, left my Zinc for overnight and next day it was installed with WM6.

Need help friends, I just D/L new ROM upgrade for Windows Mobile 6 for O2 Zinc, but I encountered error message said "Warning, Cross-language upgrade is not allowed. Please ensure the upgrade tool language is same as the default language of your device" I have no idea how to fix it, I bought from the legitimate O2 dealer in Thailand. Thanks in advance.

This Phone is A Nice&Good Design,But Before i buy this Phone I hear from My Friend This Mobile is Very Good,But when i buy and i Used is BAD Then as 02 XDA ATOM EXEC

Killian

Reasonably good phone. Needs a better mp camera. Reception is not very good. When other phone get max reception in the lift, my Zinc only receive one or two bars. In fact, it is the same with my old Atom.

Jon

I wonder why O2 Zinc has not come out yet with a new ROM? What are O2 Zinc rom maker doing? Just sitting and hearing people complaining about this model? HELLO!!!!! Wake up!!!!

Anonymous

wait for the HTC Kaiser... that one makes me weak in the knees...much better than this thing. Asus is great at motherboards but certainly not as good as HTC...specifically the HTC Kaiser!!!

Scorp King

It is a fairly good phone whith some of the shortcommings like there is no facility for group messageing some times takes a long time to open an application. The only problem I face is how do I send the file via bluetooth. In the send option I am unable to find any bluetooth option to send. Could any body help m,e in this front.

can any one tell me how to change the ring tone and sms tone to our coustome songs???

Yumnie

For Video not as good as ATOM EXC..

AKA

The screen quality is good, maybe not the 16m nokia ones but still very clear and good. But the software is hopeless. in a span of one month i change three 02 zinc handsets. first set, the clock was not working and incoming and outgoing calls would be directed straight to the voice-mail. second unit same problem. third unit the clock was working but the calls were being routed to my voice mail and whenever i spoke in the speaker phone a veered screeching sound would be heard from it, i never could figure out why as ultimately i got tired of changing handsets every week, i returned tehs et back to O2.

shalika

its good but i want 2 knw wether it can be use in sri lanka

O2_GUY

hspda is not currently avail some networks are trialing this but the service is hit and miss the zinc has been dropped by o2 and will not be released

Is this any software for this xda zinc to make it work in Canada. Toronto GTA Area. I have rogers deal but this system doesn't have any option for Canada Region at all. Just looking for any help if their is any?

udiyarsa

I wonder if its 3G connection can support HSDPA just by upgrade software. Does anyone have information about it?

Anonymous

o2 will not be doing the zinc in the uk cos the software is old they have gone for the XDA Trion instead.

j

this phone is now not being released due to software faults! i am an O2 rep and have just got news that this handset is being pulled

Kevin

The phone still available in o2 (UK) u could found it on latest catelog.it said will available by next month.

O2 O2, time to think about your business. You remember, few years ago O2 was TOP, now my friends..........

I still cannot get GN Netcom 6210 Bluetooth headset working with my Zinc. Pairing seems to be succesful but the phone does not automatically connect to the headset upon receiving and making calls. Can connect "manually" but that connetcion is teminated after 5-6 seconds. If I dial a number in that 5-6 seconds the call is transfered to phone and connected until I hang up. O2 sent me elaborated paring instructions but that did not help. Anyone with the same problem? Noted there was a ROM update but this problem was reported a fixed bug.

Yeh, software is the issue with this not being released

craig

problem with the zinc is a software problem, thats the reason for the delayed release. may be released later but not lookin anytime soon

im using it now... very nice picture taken from the phone...

Looks nice BUT i won't get it. I tried it once and frankly, it doesn't blow me away. It works like the HTC Hermes though the touchscreen seems less responsive than the Hermes. Disappointing. Quite a few interesting new gadgets from the 3GSM Congress. I especially like the stuff from Nokia and HTC.

MHB

I hv in using o2 for long time, suffered big time, can anyone advise abt dis one !!!!! thanx

Brian

OK, so I have been testing the Zinc for over a month now. I have gone through 3 Firware upgrades and 3g finally seems to be working. Agian the unit is nicely made and attracts attention when using it around becuase it is so new. Battery life has improved and easily get a full day out of it. Exchange push emial works great, and so does 3rd party email software. Just so you know I am not a professional tester, my company happens to buy many O2's each year so they gave me one to test. Not my full time job.

this XDA look like the most practical in terms of style but its also quite descreat aswell as it doesn't look like a mini entertainment system but when you look a bit closer this seems more complex than a necleur weapon i looks like something james bond would use to stear his aston around with lookin very kwl

Mahesh Kosala

This Phone is good I brought SGD1400.00 For AAAs Solution. If this phone have 3.2M Pixel This phone Worth SGD1500.00 That is fault of O2 Phone .

So they give it an excellent name, change the looks slightly, but it is no better than the rest, i want the apple iPhone!

Hi Brian, I do have the XDA EXEC and cannot send info via Bluetooth.Can it be done with the ZZINK model? How can it be done with the XDA EXEC or do I need 3rd Party software? I can't even send contacts with Bluetooth to another phone? Please help me out on this. [email protected] +447763113535

neil

hi brian, quick question - how do you become a tester for these devices? Are you a full time tester or do you test the device alongside your normal work? I am very interested to find out more, would appreciate any insight you can give. Thanks!

jack

o2 is improving their fone .. but still their screen is 65k and nokia has gone far upto 16 m colors .. lots of difference u knoww.... thats the main reason i am not buying this all the touch screen fones

Endra

I marvel by O2 XDA Zinc, although have never used it because fitur presented by as according to my requirement, I request whether/what can give the me free of charge this O2 XDA Zinc. I have no the ability to buy it. thank.

Brian

i have been testing the Zinc for several weeks. I have been having an aweful time with screen alignment. I align the screen 6 times a day and it still does not remain aligned for more then an hour. I think it is the landscape view messing with it. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I contact O2, but have not heard yet.

Anonymous

MSNt, close but no cigar. Though its form factor strikingly looks the same, it is NOT another HTC Hermes (aka Tytn) nor a re-branded HTC unit. The O2 XDA Zinc is in fact an Asus Mars II. If you check carefully this O2 XDA Zinc (aka Asus Mars II) distinctly has an Intel 520 Mhz cpu, has miniSD, has a real headphone audio jack and is triband only without HSDPA (!); whereas the Hermes/Tytn has a Samsung 400Mhz cpu, microSD, proprietary ExtUSB doubling as headphone jack (!), and quadband HSDPA. Check it out yourself at and sites. NOTE: Both Zinc/Mars and Tytn/Hermes are also incomplete and lacking support in same areas, i.e., they have no built-in GPS and no built-in FM radio thus no TMC.

HHH

Bored because modified from dopod838 & dopod 838pro. They hav to build up a new bombastic design and not to make a similar with the other model/ brand..

PDAfan It looks like the HTC Hermes cos it is a HTC Hermes you plonker! 02 use re-branded HTC units (among others) for their XDA range

this phone is wicked! had it 1 month! best thing working i na fne shop gt the fnes first! :D this fne does evrything man also has 3g an gprs! an sat nav :D:D:D:D!! bes buy!

i'd take this over the exec if only because it looks less bulky, and still has everyting but the kitchen sink.

PDAfan

Looks just like the HTC Hermes. Doesn'y excite me at all. Boring.

sammie

soemone has said they always ahve problems with o2 phones!! well o2 only sell the phones if u have a problem with a nokia handsets its nokias fault not o2s there a service provider not the makers of the handsets!!! this handset will b wicked!!

Anonymous

O2 isn't crap but they sure ain't as good as they used to be. HTC is kicking their asses real bad. I used to be a O2 fan but now...it is HTC all the way!

bob

o2 are not crap at all never had a prob are absolutly fab

Khalid

I have the XDA Exec and have looked at the Zinc. Other than the 2mp camera does the Zinc have anything which the exec doesnt. Is it worth me upgrading to the Zinc? Im hoping the XDA flame gets a UK release as that looks amazing!!!

Does anyone know if this phone have an buil in GPS?

ushdd

cant understand o2's mentality? thy always come out wid old comfiguration in new dumb looking models...... Even if u compare this model......features of the previous o2 atom exec r much more better thn this one learn sumthin o2 people

I just received an eval unit from O2. It works nice and much smaller then I thought. I have everything working, except the 3G. Each time I try to use 3G my browser and email turns in GPRS automaticaly and 3G is not used. This is my provider not the phone. I will get it worked out next week. great device, good screen, and nice package. I hope the production model slider is a little better it does not seem it will last.

Fire_Isiah_Thomas!

o2 sucks. i always have problems with their phones!!!!

Anonymous

That's not true. I heard that HTC wants to sell its own brand so it told O2 to get lost. Asus as a partner was not by choice, O2 was desperate. Everyone knows Asus makes sub-par phones. Besides, it's just a copycat phone of HTC.

george

well does this phone have stereo speakers?pls let me know

babykoh!

if you have this phone, you don't need a personal computer anymore!this phone is quite perfect for a student like me, i love this phone! thank you O2!

Anonymous

wrong my friend this is not made by Htc this is made made by Asus O2 are parting with Htc simply because there products are not built to a high enough spec..and are not reliable...and we all know that. ASUS are the daddy of PDAs now..

Curious

Question: Is this a HTC device? What's the difference with HTC's products? They all look the same though HTC has more variety.

Carl

at last!, finally a compact pda in the xda range that matches the processing speed of the exec
