  • Had my o2 Xm For around a year and 3 months, i liked what i was given: mp3 playerble, ringtones, good sound, however, the video recording, only 9 seconds, let it down, also the low qualty pictures and the fact that each time i turned the phone off the clock went back an hour!! This meant i had to change it every day otherwise my alarm would go off a hour later! annoying. However i had no problems with making calls, sending texts, i always had signal. Therefore i would give this phone ***

  • I bought this phone about 6 or 7 months ago and have had trouble with it since the first time i turned it on. The first one i got had to be taken back anyway due to software problems but the 2nd one i got was not much better. I have never got the phone connecting to the computer and now that i actually have music on the phone the button on the side which turns the mp3 player on keeps being pressed in my pocket so in lessons i find i am playing music. this is definately the worst phone i have ever had. its not been treated badly at all but suddenly it has decided its going to turn off frequently in my pocket. it also often turns off while i am trying to txt. i would advise even though its good value not to get this phone.

  • sir, as i had purchased this set 2month before but i did understand how it lost its software therefore i request you to please help me to update it wish you that you we mail me thanking you

  • I had purchased O2 XM recently. I am having trouble with the set. The set hangs frequently and does not show the availablity in the present network

  • bad design. seems that nobody cares for style.

  • iwant to know that have speak phone work in O2 XM maobile

  • I had this phone for a week .. untill i dropped it and it smashed at the part where it flips.. it wasnt a hard fall or from much height... was a bit disappionting

  • yo i had this fone since october lst year and so far the mms onli works sometimes. we only have 9seconds of video (not enough) and it doesnt alwayz charge up properly does any1 else have this problem? [email protected]

  • a terrible unit. the flip top wobbles after 2 months and this affects screen quality. mp3 doesn't work. videos rubbish as has been said. charge socket faulty. headphones flimsy. badly designed and cheaply made

  • I have this phone also and everytime i turn it off it looses an hour on the clock, as somebody else has this problem too. Also, i have contacted o2 many times to set up the mms picture messaging, and they have not done so. Have tried to do it myself too and still not working. Apart from that, the phone is fine!

  • hi, i had this phone since christmas and i have had problems since day one. First the phone couldnt send messages, coz O2 hadn't "set it up properly"(yea right). secondly it wouldnt charge, coz the connection is faulty. since a couple of days ago, everything has gone wrong, some funtions didnt work; wont turn off. the best thing about it is the cam takes brill pics, but thats all very dissapointing!! dont buy it. from ben

  • I have an o2xm phone and when i copy songs from the music player i can't get them into the correct format. They come as wma songs and go to the misc folder not the music player one. Can someone please help me, i can't get them to mp3 format.

  • Anyone know how to fix the problem of the clock constantly losing an hour when you switch the phone on or off?

  • Hello , I just got this o2xm and the music player is great .Music quality is high. However, the camera has only the option of *wallpaper* . I have tried scrolling with the arows to get to the other options like megapixel,media etc but it only stays on wallpaper which is not good picture quality. Please does anyone know what the problem is?

  • i hav this fone, had it since november, its great for music and camera but the video is way too short and it crashes lots, i think its a great design but you need to do something about the video. x x x

  • i have had this phone for a year and i think its pants. it crashes all the time and my music gets wiped after 3 days from when i downloaded it. i think paying 3 quid for songs and them then dissapearing is disgracefull. also the video recorder only lasting nine seconds is wrong whats the point in havin it. the camra is brill. but as a whole a rubbish phone

  • Da O2 XM aint bad but i dnt fink da video is dat gud coz it goes on 4 9 secs i fink da camera is qite gud bt i fink it takes wel 2 lng 2 dwnload msc 4 yr mp3.if u wana easy cheap alrte fone gt dis 1 cud b a bit beta.............but wot eva i lke it

  • first of all a phone is a phone so to be honest if you can contact people on ti who relllli cares hey? n yes i admit they cud change the 9 secs long video time but if u wer lukin 4 a better fon u shud hav reserchd b4 u bought it shudnt u ! im happy with it so stop winging about it if u wont better get a beter phone!

  • i had this phone for about 3 months and it had realy gotten on my nerves... i couldnt put much music on it... the adaptor for the headphones had messed up and eventually ended up not working. The video quality and camera quality is rubbish... you can only video for 9 secs. you cant forward when you're listening 2 music so you hav 2 wait til u get 2 a fave part. i went bak into the shops n i realised that they wernt selling them anymore so i think theyve taken them off the market or sumthin. im alredy decidini on new fone. i wudnt advise u buy dis!!!!

  • I have this phone and hate it. Takes ages to start up (30sec) and switch off, the camera and video functions are lousy, the menus are confusing and slow - not at all intuitive to use. Can't adjust volume, so everyone can hear my conversation. The tiny external display screen is pointless. It takes forever to move images etc from the memory to the SD card. Need I say more? This phone is a total piece of crap.

  • i dont know how 2 put the videos on mi phone onto the computer could any1 plz help????

  • I have broken the original headphones and I have asked in the shop but theyy said they dont sell any ???? And the attactment for the headphones is really sensitive and it really gets on my nerves so ..... what shall I do ???

  • Right, first off, this phone does only take 9 seconds of video. You can't put games onto it via USB, but you can download them. You can only put mp3's on to it, no other types. Phone numbers have to be stored to the sim for the contact name to appear when someone rings/texts you. This phone is an excellent phone, and I really like it. Although every so often it does keep restarting. I can't seem to listen to music and access the internet at the same time. It has quite a poor battery life too, lasts a few days at max. These are only minor compared to what the phone can do! It has a great music player, excellent camera, games (although not too many), mp3 ringtones, memory card slot (which you usually have to pay a lot for), you can watch and save long videos on it, it just has so much in it. I personally love this phone despite its few little nags. Oh, plus it would be better if it had infrared/bluetooth, and didnt have an aerial, but its hardly gonna make much of a difference really.

  • hi my name is brian wise and i just want my phone to record longer then 9seconds like god how do u do that tell me plz like want to no

  • Hi could any 1 help I am trying to download music but my computer doesn't even recognise the usb cable is connecvted and doeesn'tshow a new drive what do Ido.

  • hi, i got an xm 4 my bday yesterday n ive been tryin all day 2 get music from windows media player onto it but i cant work it out, can any1 help? thx

  • the other day i discovered that if you can convert a video file to 3GPP format it is viewable on the phone, although the audio volume is unchangable on the phone, but still great anyway.

  • i had to take my o2 xm to the fone shop a couple of times due to charging problems.in the end they had to send me a new fone as it was faulty and at times it switches its self off n the value for money is not good eitha i wouldnt suggest this fone to anyone.

  • hi, i got an o2 xm for my bday and i dont know what ive done to it but now when i switch it on it has a blue screen with white letter saying ' please wait' it wont charge ( i think) or anything . do i need to take back to o2 shop?

  • hey i just wondered if anyone knew how to change the video settings as i can only record videos for 9 seconds anyone knwo how to change it? love lauren xxx

  • what do the circles or triangle symbols next to the music tracks mean?

  • 2 set ur pictures as ur wallpaper clik options and selcect set as wallpaper ....easy as 1.2.3

  • Grace, you should call your customer services department (pref from a landline) and they will gladly go through the settings with you to set up your MMS and GPRS on your XM.

  • That is no ground to have to return your phone. There are a number of problems here, itunes is made so that it is mainly compatible with Apple products not others many people have had problems using itunes in conjuction with other software. In your case the conversion into MP3 is probaly the error some conversion programms convert mp3 into werid things and such are unable to play on mp3 players fones etc. So donwload the song you want again from an original source and not a conversion. Also you could use the SYNC feature in Windows Media Player (Much better than iTunes) as the phone is made to be compatable with Windows player becasue thephone was developed by Intel.

  • Hi, i was wondering if anyone could please help me.. i purchased the O2 XM yesterday and tried to upload an MP3 (songs changed into MP3 by itunes at 32 kbps if that helps). i then transfered it to my phones memory card and took the USB cable out, attempted to play the song and... nothing, the blue bar moved about a millimetre and then stopped and didnt want to do anything else. i dont want to have to return it, can anyone please help me? thanks, x

  • Its a great phone for the price. O2 only ordered a minimum number so I am not surprised that Woolworths / others are out of stock. O2 should look at the new version.... I hear it has bluetooth and a 2m mega camera with even better sounds / accepts 2g memory cards.

  • ive tried to buy this phone on woolworths online site and its always out of stock, and kays is �10 more. is the camera any good as i wanted it for that and video recording, might change mind now i know video is only 9 sec. even my phone ive had for 2 year records 30 sec and that was bought for �75, so is it worth getting this phone??

  • Hi, I've had this phone for a while now, and think it is a GREAT phone. I have a question, does anyone know how the format of the videos and audio recordings can be changed? When i transfer to the computer they show up as quicktime. And another thing, is it possible to transfer videos from the computer onto memory card :S and play on the phone?

  • Had this phone for a bit now and STILL can't send pictures - settings aren't available on the O2 website, though they're meant to be - anyone got any ideas how I can do this manually or will I have to take it to an O2 shop?

  • ive had this phone repaired now twice, would not reccomend the quality of the phone but would defeinately reccomend the facilities

  • Chris you are wrong, i upload all my Mp3s using my USB lead once its installed it'll show an extra drive in My Computer you just copy your mp3s over into the Music folder of the drive. Alternativly you could use the Sync function in Windows Media Player simply select the songs you want and then sync them this sends them to your phone using the USB.

  • u cant upload mp3s thru the usb cable its is unable 2 b done. u need a card reader

  • can you upload music from the sd card on the02xmto the pc,then put that music onto audio cd.technical services assures me it can be done but ive tried and cant do it can anyone help?

  • bought this phone for daughter for xmas for 79.99 using it as mp3 with 512mb sd card camera same res as her dads xda2i can use mp3s from sd card as ringtone ordered myself on from kays for 89.99 got 30%code taking 27.00 off total of 62.00 great value phone does everything and works well

  • i was quite dissapointed with it as it looked wel gd but da camera is crap n the video is lik 9 secs!?!?!?!

  • Quite good phone, nice music player, predictive text annoying as it saves accidental mis-spellings. Video can only last 9 seconds, no longer. Battery life is pretty bad, mine lasts about 2 days unused. You need to save the number to the sim card to get the name to come up when someone rings you. Cant get many games for it. With usb cable it comes up as 2 removable disks, the first one is the phone, the second is the memory card, put mp3s on the second one. All in all, quite happy, except it gets scratched quite easily. Plus some videos put on phone from computer can randomly stop or break up, when actually they are fine on the computer.

  • at 1st i cudnt put tunez on mob coz i woz clicking on removable disk f, i then clikd remov disk g and it worked! this is the best and best value fone eva! its cute 2!

  • Hiya! I got this mob in xmas sales n think its gr8! it woz only �79 in woolworths and it does loads! I think it looks r gud aswell and im going to customize it myself! I would def recommend this phone!

  • no 1 get this phone!!!!!!! ive had it for 3 months and its been in repair 4 times! its dicrace full please no 1 get it it aint worth the time n money!!!!!!!!!

  • I've had this phone for quite a while now. It's okay. The camara is good. Menus are good. Reception is good. Trying to use predictive text is quite hard. Infact, it's useless on this phone. THe looks aren't very appealing. You can't change the theme so it's always boring blue. And the green constant flashing light is very annoying. Apart from that, it's okay.

  • um does any1 no how 2 extend da memory?

  • this phone is fab and im so glad i got it...very good coloured flash on the front brilliant feature...picture quality is gr8 and has reli cool little frames 100% happy with this phone good quality and value for money gr8 options for the phone book so glad that you can have 2 numbers (mobile and home) under one name and the texting is very easy and simple to use! 10/10 *****

  • i jst got this phone for xmas and i think its gr8, i agree shame bout video length, ne1 no ow 2 xtend it? to transfer music nd pics i use the memory card n plug it into my comp n then copy n paste files, so much easier, doesnt seem work all the tym wen i use usb. i dont get names cum up wen i recieve calls either, jst the number, thats also annoying, ne1 no ow 2 solve this? thanx!

  • i dno ow ur spose to make da video last longer dan 9 seconds any suggestions??? if ya can wud b good cheers matt

  • Anyone had any luck putting extra games onto their XM? I've tried loads of free ones but have only found one ("Dynamo Kid") that installs properly. Anyone got other recommendations?

  • If you have a memory card to store your music/images etc, then you can also store videos, but you need to transfer themm from your pc onto your phone.

  • Awryt peepo... is this fone oryt by the wiy ? coz av pikd it fur ma xmas...an can any 1 tel me if u can make the video last longur than 9 secnds..ameen thats just rubbish ! =( plzz ryt bak sum1 too help mee thanx =) from sarah x

  • how long does the video hold out 4

  • i waz lookin forward 2 this phone but im not now thanks

  • i've had nothing but trouble with this phone. I save a contact into my phone, then when i make or receive a call, i get just a number and no name, its really frustrating, when the phone is off, the clock goes off aswell so i have to keep re-setting the time, the keys are so flat you end up pushing the wrong one. dont buy this phone, its the worst i have had.

  • you can download music from your PC just use a cd to mp3 program then transfer

  • im getting this phone for christmas an i think its great for the price although i havent seen it yet, from reading other emails i can see it only records for 9 secs, wat a bummer. tut. i was looking forward to that, whats the camera like ppl? i hope its decent cause thats why i got it. i think it should have bluetooth as well that would be class. is there any other way of lengthening the video recorder? jamie

  • Ok many people are complaining that they cant put music on their o2 xm. This is because the music files must be .mp3 and not .wmv.

  • great phone when you take a photo click options then select set wallpaper. Is there any chance anyone knows how to extend the video length on the phone or does it have to be 9 seconds

  • yhyh safe liam. there is night mode on the camera but no flash. its quite gd quality aswell

  • nope there is no way to put propper mp3's onto the fone using the USB lead, you must buy a card reader for this.

  • hi, is there a flash or is there night mode on this camera so you are able to take pictures in pitch black? wb asap!

  • r u able to put pics oyu have taken with your camera on to the front screen of the phone? plzzzz wb

  • safe liam. but cant u do it thru usb???? plz help

  • To get mp3's off your pc onto your phone you must buy a card reader. Then you simply insert your Sd card into the card reader and copy your mp3s over into the music folder. Card readers will cost you only a few quid.

  • dis fone is wiked its sick but i dont no how to put mp3s of da pc 2 da hand set can ne 1 help me through it

  • i just got this phone for xmas and i have had a look and it and so far so good! there is a free usb cable, headphones, great quality can and video! the video only lasts up to 9 seconds though but i would give this hone 8/10!

  • yes this phone is very good, and for �80 you can't go wrong. Its an Intel first, the same people who are likely to be powering your PC will be powering your phone, its got some great technical features which i wont go into. But the main feature is the ability to hold a maximum of 2 gig memory (i think if not that then its 1 gig)with the power of the SD card also the MP3 player with the ability of using them as ringtones. This phone is great and for the price its amazing.

  • is this phone good because im getting it for �80 WOW

  • i might be getting this phone how long does the video hold out 4

  • i like the phone and was thinking of getting it but the thing that let it down was that it didnt have bluetooth. i think it should have it

  • hi! is there bluetooth in this phone??

  • ive just orderd this fone today,i cant belive how the price differs,�179 in argos and �79 in littlewoods,just to say shop around please.

  • Will someone tell me please how long the phone records for and also if it's good or not! PLEASE!! My mum just bought it and reading other peoples comments it doesn't sound very good! please help me!

  • I think this is quite a good fone but my voice record wont work any mor

  • Since taking of British Summer time it keeps turning it self on again or sometimes just knocks of another hour onto the clock itself? Anyone experienced this? Any idea where theres firmware for this phone?

  • How do you the predictive text on this phone? For example, if I type 'n' and then 'o' it spells 'no' but how do I get it to say 'on'? Can it scroll through all the words made up from the letters you type so you can choose the one you want?

  • Great phone, only trouble is when trying to down load games, or music. Takes the money ok, but then they don`t arrive, or if they do the games available to this phone are rubbish. Why can`t all the games be available to this phone. And when I down load music from the phone site, where does it go? I have yet to find out. Although I notice the money goes off the credit quick enough. I have paid for 5 tunes that I did not receive. Cannot afford to do this.

  • Will, having read all of the previous comments, I think your songs aren't in MP3 format. The phone only takes MP3's, yours are probably WMA or something else and you'll need to convert them. Quick questions to those that have the phone, how good is the camera, specifically the night mode? It doesn't have a flash, so I was wondering if night mode makes up for it? If someone could e-mail me some example pictures (of anything, it doesn't matter) in night mode and/or normal mode, I'd be very greatful, I'm debating whether to ask for this phone for my birthday or not, so this could swing it for me! Cheers, Scott

  • hi can you help me iv just got the 02 xm phone. the problem is when i try to down load music from my pc to the phone it down loads but when i try to play it it say unknown file type don't no what im doing wong hope you can help . thanks will

  • It's a super great phone! 10/10!!! It's fast, simple and the pictures it takes are amazing with it's 1.3mp! It's no.1!!!!! Design:10/10 it looks so grooooovy! Performance:10/10 its sooooo fast! Colour: 9/10 could of had more colours!

  • The battery life on this phone is really really terrible. If you want to use it as an mp3 player on journeys then expect to get about 3 hours battery life out of it, from fully charged. If you want to make this sort of journey and then get a days worth of use out of it for calls etc forget it. Could have been so much better if it wasn't for the pathetic battery

  • Whenever I plug the USB cable into my computer to download MP3s it is reading the phone memory and not the memory card. Can anyone help me please??

  • I'm entitled to complain about it because it cost me �199.99! The battery life is terrible. I ended up buying an mp3 player to use when travelling because if I used the one on the xm I'd need an endless supply of xm batteries!

  • This phone is a great gizmo but when it comes to receiving and making calls it is absolutely appalling! It keeps cutting out so you only get bits of a conversation which makes it useless as a phone. Also the battery life is very oor esp if you'e using the mp3. If you just want a phone for texting and mp3 I'd recommend it, if you want it to make phone calls STAY CLEAR!!

  • I had this fne on contract 2 months ago, and ive had nothing but problems with it. add to this the rudeness of the o2 personnel, and the fact that wen it totally froze and i sent it back it took them 3 weeks to fix it, and they gave me a nokia as a curtosy fone...i am not impressed. and what is up with the usb cable, but no cd?!

  • Firstly I think eveyone should know that the majority of comments on this forum are from people who dont own an O2XM or havent even seen one for that matter! **ADVANTAGES** The O2XM is a fantastic phone you can do all the usual that you expect now days - - Set profiles (to do this do into contacts, groups) - You can set Images for contacts saved to you phone, and you can personalize ringtones for each group. - You have a 1.3 Megapixel camera which works extremly well, night or day. -You cannot not mention the music player on this phone, it's awesome! The sound quality is great, the memory is great, and you can play tracks without opening the phone. Contrary to what other people have said you can skip tracks without opening the phone, you just need to pause the player and push the volume buttons! Simple! **DISADVANTAGES** -The phone is not a nokia! This means the texting may take a while to get used too. Not that its difficult to use, in fact after about 2 messages I found it very easy, it's just having to push 1 for space can be confusing for ex nokia users. -The phone does NOT have bluetooth or infared. Some people complain about this, but for �80 in an O2 store this phone is bargin of the year! *Note. O2 online has it at �120 with a free DVD player, (your basicaly paying the extra �40 for the "free" DVD player) -The phone only allows you to take 9 seconds of video. Again I dont know why people complain for the bargin price what do you expect? Besides in a short while some website will be able to tell us how to change the settings to shoot longer video. -Games for the phone are few at the moment, nut again what do you expect if the phone's only new? Give it time and the games will come. Besides the phone CAN play most games Nokia's and Motorolla's can play. Just for some reason websites think they cant! ****************************************** So that's the O2XM wrapped in a nutshell. Design 8/10 - They could tweaked it just a little more, the phone has so much potential I just feel the engineers got lazy. Feel 8/10 - The phone is light, feels good in your hand, but they stuck on an annoying antenna. Colour 6/10 - Wsa very dissapointed to find out that the phone is only made in silver, considering all of the ad campaigns show it as pearl white! Performance - 9/10 - Fast phone, loads quick, has good proccessing, very rarely freezes and when it does it qutomatically reboots. Hope this was useful to any potential buyers.

  • I bought this phone for my daughter for her birthday- She absolutely loves it! it has really good features for its price.

  • absolutley fantastic would highly recommend dont take any notice of the bad things sed about this phone it is the best ive ever had excellent 1.3 megapixel camera, music player and to top it all off a great price!! fully satisfied =D

  • Bought this phone today!! Glad I did!! Texting is different from Nokia's but you get used to it. People looking for a camera and video phone it's a must buy. Matthew

  • I have had this phone for two months and is the worst phone i have ever had. My sister has got the same phone and has had more problems than me. My phone wont switch off and now wont even charge. My sisters turns off all the time she doesnt recieve text messages and has problem recieving calls.

  • laura you can only download mp3 tunes onto your phone so if you want mp3 tunes you have to save them into a file as mp3 tunes otherwize the phone thinks they are just normal tunes and doesn't except them. it also helps if you have a music player on your computer. when you plug your phone in you want to copy the tunes/ songs onto the removeable disk (H) or the next letter in the alphabet. so if you have (i) then select (J). any other problems e mail me on [email protected]

  • for the mp3 player you can't sync wma songs they HAVE to be mp3 format other wise the phone cant read them and puts it in the misc file so any cds you put in windows wont work because they are all formated to wma. oh you can store loads more in the G: one rather than F: these will all go into the music player.

  • heya does ne1 know how 2 get java games for this like 2 download thru the usb cable?? and were 2 put them coz their ain no games folder plzz help these games get borin :P thnx

  • i know this aint anything about the o2 xm but does anyone no how 2 put songs onto k750i ?

  • im having the same problem as someone else whenver i try and sync music to the f: drive it stores it in the misc file on the phone rather than music and whnen i highlght the music folder it still goes in misc.! does anyone have a solution?? thanks

  • �90 is a great price for it but feel sorry for idiots like me who dished out the �199 for it when it first came out because it's definitely not worth that!

  • I think some on this board miss the point. The phone doesn't sell for the same as an Ericsson K750i / W800i. Its less than half the price and is great value for money (this Intel chip does make the phone seem faster). I bought 2... 1 for my wife and 1 for my daughter. �89 is a steal. I and we are 110% happy with the O2 XM.

  • dis is a really gd fone.

  • hey...my parents want to buy me this fone, not sure if i like it..any1 hav it? its on offer in o2 shop for �80 but u get money off depending on how much u spend on ur fone each month and if u take in ur old sim car u can use that too!

  • I really want to know how much these are selling for in 02 shops on the website it only tells u the price with a free portable dvd player which is �129.99

  • Your missing the point about this phone. Its cheap and has great features some of which are equal to those phones you mentioned, also huge memory pretty much unlimated. Thats why this phone has these high ratings, which btw it deserves.

  • y is dis fone curently rated beter dan da w800/k750, d600 and Nseries? it is 2 faulty an features r inferior, well ???? by it all ppl need 2 sort out da votin on dis fone.

  • is it true u can only record 9 seconds of video?

  • i just bought my new o2 xm but it doesnt work. and i havnt got a clue what is wrong with it. i put the sim card in and put it on charge in a few minutes the orange light goes off and the screen goes blue and says please wait and switches itself off, and i cant switch it on

  • You can play most Samsung games on this phone, some screen sizes however do not adjust so you lose some picture. As for Nokias there game type files although are the same don't work with Samsung or the O2 range. In my experience Samsung and Motorola games appear to work with this phone.

  • Hi all,can i play,on this phone some other games..for example for Nokia,Samsung..??? Otherwise O2 XM has some singular type of games, and i cant play on this phone, any other games made by form diferent mobile phone producer?! Thanx a lot :) W_A Czech Republic

  • hey i was jus wonderin how 2 ad pictures 2 contacts the manual sez ya can but not how 2 infact really crap manual, and also were can i get sum games from PLZZZ email me or wb. it is a good fone tru no blutooth but to be hones don use that often gr8 camera only BAD thing is that the mp3 rinses ur battery d=still well worth the doller tho :P

  • Comes with a USB cable, but no disc

  • does this phone come with a PC sync kit? e.g a cable and CD rom? please help! grace

  • hey this is not good mobile no irda and blue tooth 256 k good but not 16M average looking slow processor good camera but poor video better to buy k750i and rating of this phone is superb but hahahahahaha mad people have rated it 9 or 10 thats funny no special features and bad look poor performence it should be rated 3 / 10

  • ­

  • How do you put songs on phone, as have many times and just doesnt seem to be working, they keep storing in misc. file instead of music

  • i tried 3pg movies but they didn't work. Maybe i was doing something wrong. I tried lots of different formats, but the phone never found any of them. What am I doing wrong?

  • If you have a card reader on your PC you can get a mpeg/avi to 3GP converter and put movies of unlimited time unlike the short 9 seconds onto that card and play it back on your mobile phone. I use xillisoft

  • I got my SD card from Jessops, it's their own brand-max hi-speed,which is 80x faster. Cost slightly more than normal ones, but i want one that was faster enough to play movies without pausing every 15 seconds. Cost �80-90 I think

  • would you mind telling me where you got the sd card from and how much it was

  • Can I play movies from SD card ? I can play short ones which fit on fone space put cant play anything direct from SD card, is this possible ? Thanks in advance to any advice.

  • just put your songs onto your card via the supplied cable through the phone, or with a card reader and start up the music player. simple as that. Random play keeps switching off when not being used which i find annoying though

  • The o2 shops are selling it for �79, but with a �10 trade in on your old phone bringinging it down to �69. I bought one yesterday

  • I got a 1 gig SD card in at the mo, works fine, if thats any help

  • its me agen, i was wondering if any people have successfully used a 1gb mmc card with this phonr

  • its me agen i have decided to purchase the phone and was just wondering where you could purchase it for 69.99 as the o2 website is selling it for 129.99 with a free dvd player. Now ive read an earlier post on page to i have realised that its easy to connect to the pc but how do you connect it.

  • how do you put mp3s on it i was wondering a bout getting it

  • The O2 XM, I must clear this up as I brought this phone recently because of comments on this site which were wrong and I don't want others to do the same thing. THE VIDEO ONLY RECORDS FOR 9 SECONDS! Whatever memory card you have, whatever setting you tweak. Full stop. This phone would be soooooo good if the software was written better, the complete lack of settings let this phone down. You can't do simple things like turn the vibration of while still having it ring. Like profiles not existing at all. Like no option to turn the video length up. Like no option where to automatically store photos and videos to. Like no options to change anything on the front screen. Like no option to change the time format to AM/PM. Really simple things which wouldn't have cost them anymore money to do but would have made the phone 50times better to use. (perhaps this is deliberate to try and get you to buy more expensive phones) REALLY BAD POINTS The camera takes around 6secs in 1.3mp mode to take a picture (that�s holding it completely still from pressing ok to it actually taking it. by which time what you've taken a picture of has long gone) (this is in night mode on high settings, maybe quicker in daylight mode, haven't tried though) Videos are only 9secs (well that�s what it says, mine cuts of after 7secs) Mine freezes and crashes nearly every time I take 1.3mp photos in night mode. (will try and get it replaced, or exchanged or money back) GOOD POINTS Excellent phone if someone wrote some new software for it. Very Cheap Good package that includes free data cable, memory card and both ear headphones. Quick menus Good quality MP3 player Good quality Camera and pictures (if outside) Memory card compatible Looks quite nice

  • i thought the xm was meant to be fast. mine isn't. it's really slow. has anyone else had this problem, or it just my phone?

  • does anyone know how to stop the random play switching off everytime the mp3 player is closed down, it is really annoying to have to keep switching it on thanks

  • To stop the phone playing that sound when you switch it on or off, go to "settings", then "audio", then "tones" then "greeting" and just turn the volume down to 0.

  • can anyone help? i have just got this phone can you play video clips without having to have the headphones in to hear it? thanks

  • I've just bought this as a replacement for a SonyEriccson K700i that refused to work, and so far it's fine. Not great, but fine -especially as I got a 256k memory card free, which would normally cost about �30! My main problem is that I can't set it up to use MMS - I've requested the set-ups by text, but got a "Sorry, go back to the shop" type of message. Any ideas? In reply to an earlier post - you can actually use the memory cards to store anything, not just music. It works the same as a memory stick - just transfer things onto the card via the pc. It works fine on XP. To remove the card, you have to push it in (I use a pen!) - it then pops back out.

  • I have a few similar problems to other people and at least one that I can't see mentioned; any help much appreciated... - I can get the memory card in; how do you get it back out again? The instructions say something really helpful like 'push it' which has no effect as far as i can manage. - Like others, numbers rather than names are displayed from some calls / texts. I suspect this can't be rectified since it doesn't happen all the time....? - can you stop the phone making noises when you turn it on and off? Haven't been able to find this control anywhere.

  • I recently got this phone, and I don't like it at all. Texting is awkward, and when I receive a text or a call, instead of the person's name appearing, it's the number. So short of memsorising my entire phone book, I never know who's texting or calling. I asked my dad who he was the other day. Also, can anybody help me with MMS? It won't let me send them at all, and I can't find any info on MMS settings for this phone online at all. How do I set it up?

  • Has anyone found a way to setup the phone to show total duration of outgoing calls? Page 55 of the instruction booklet indicates it will only show Total Calls (both incoming & outgoing) and Last Call. This is a severe limitation, given my contract which has an allocation of free minutes. All other handsets seem to offer this functionality. Is there a software ugrade available? Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • The O2 XM has some good features however the phone is not the best. First of all texting is not easy as you have to use the number 1 key to get a space. The O2 XM occasionally crashes when taking pictures in mega pixel format, the phone can only store about 15 photos in mega pixel (high quality) and a few extra in medium. I don�t think you can use the memory stick to store anything other than music which is no good atall. Photos in general look reasonably good on the PC in mega pixel, however you can�t do much editing on the phone. The small screen at the front of the phone is not very clear this is another bad point. The main screen only looks like a 65k in my opinion, however is still clear. The phone has poor connectivity however data cable transfer is faster than any other phone I have owned, and the menu system is also very fast. Sound quality of the MP3 Player is pretty good and loud. When the ear phones are in the quality is also good. In general the phone is ok.

  • hi, my xm has started freezing just like the x3. Also when the phones turned on the clock lose's an hour. has anyone else had the same problems? I'm thinking of changing to x4, any comments? opinions? thanks

  • mike your problems are clear to me and i can only anwser question two. after reading my manual i found you can only delete messages saved in your inbox,sent items,drafts,archive or all. hope that helps mate.

  • i bought the o2 xm and its great except i cant find a website that gives FREE ringtones that are compatible,can someone help me out?

  • You cannot the memory card read by the computer with the data cable. You have to trasnfer the files from the phone to the card one by one or buy a memory card reader. Hope that helps

  • I've had the phone for a while and have the same problem as Jake and Julie. I ended up just putting the card in a card reader and doing it that way. Anybody know if spare batteries are available for the xm yet? Thanks

  • I'm having the same problem as Jake - I'm connecting the phone via the USB in order to download MP3's but the computer will only read the phones memory & not the memory card. Can anyone tell me how to access please. Thanks, Julie

  • i bought the 02xm out of birthday money. ive always had a nokia but thought i wud try this for a change and i think its a really great fone very pleased with it

  • Hey, guys if you like the O2 XM then its gone down to �69.99 in O2 shops even though its adverstised as �99.99. Its a great fone for the price!

  • just got this phone, i dont think it comes neer to being the best phone out but for the price its brilliant. Ive had 1 problem though!!! my pc runs on xp and it recognises only the phone memory and not the memory card memory. so i have to put tracks on 1 by 1 and then move them to the memory card. can any help me? thanks jake

  • Battery lifes a little short, main benefit is its easy to connect to pc and upload mp3's. Takes sd cards unlike other phones that have fixed memory size. Simple interface - easy to use. Mp3 player a little simple, playlist by artist/file name doesnt seem to work very well. Also little external arial can sit uncomfortably in your pocket!

  • this is a good phone good camera does erything you want in a phone what else could you wamt out of a phone

  • Words can be added to the dictionary by writing them in abc mode and then switching back to T9 mode. The word is now added...

  • Hi, With regard to compressing the images, the 1.3mp setting is best for use other than on the phone, while the wallpaper setting matches the phone screen resolution so gives the best results on the screen. Ideal is to use the 1.3MP setting, xfer them to the pc to get the decent pics on your hard drive then resize copies of them to 176x220 on your PC and send them back to the phone where they will look excellent. In addition to the outer camera there is a way to forward tracks when using the mp3 with the clam closed...can't remember exactly what to do, think it's hold down the play button? I agree that the Nokia 6230i is a better phone, but where can I get one for �69.99? Nokia is at least �170 new, and if I was spending that much I'd go for the SE K750i or Nokia 6680 at �200. For �70 the only thing that is similar spec (excl mem card & mp3) is the Siemens SF65.

  • just bought the XM: pleased with it, but i have a few questions that other owners might be able to help me with - 1. how do you delete a txt message copied to the sim card? 2. does the phone have a key lock function? if so how do u turn it on? 3. can u add to the predictive txt dictionary? 4. does compressing images affect their quality? cheers.

  • Shane... the lady in the O2 shop showed me that function. Interesting and different I guess. The XM has some nice little touches. Its the speed of the menu's that I like. Why does the Intel chip make such a difference?

  • If you hold down the play/pause button while the phones closed it used the front mini screen as the view finder for the camera i am saying this cause its not in the insstructions.

  • I would not recomend getting this phone as it is poo. Look up the details on this phone then look at a nokia 6230i. Its ok if you just want to make some phone calls but if you want a good phone for different things look else where.

  • Hi, Some O2 shops are advertising this at �129.99 whilst others have it at �99.99. To get it for �99.99, they can either price match an O2 store where it is �99.99 or if you mention that there was an August Bank Holiday offer at �99.99, they can type in a code which will still validate the bank holiday offer. I got it for �69.99 even though the in store price was �129.99 by using the bank holiday code and trading in a five year old non working handset to get �30 trade in. Phone has a few little quirks, but overall is excellent.

  • If you walk into an o2 shop and tell them you don't want the DVD player they will sell you the phone for �129.99 That's what I did........... and the phone is good.

  • sorry i mean �230!!!

  • i was wondering where you could get this phone from at �70 because on the o2 website you can onl get it for �130 but you get a free portable DVD player, only problem is i don't want one!!! please help me and click the email button! CHEERS xXz

  • Re O2XM Memory Card fitting problem Thanks Shane, that has resolved the problem. Regards Martin

  • In response to Martin, I thought that was a problem to start of with but you actually have to push the card in with a key or pen or something then it will click in, it goes quite far in.

  • After previously purchasing a 02 X2 and after having 2 faulty ones changing to a samsung when I purchased the O2 XM a year later i was abit warey. The mp3 feature is great and the speakers quite loud, theres no point in getting a extra sd card for it though cause u can only record 9 seconds of footage in a go which is really silly. Battery life is quite poor 2 days use max before it needs charging. Games are sort of 3d but to be honest even though there good grahpics they have terrible gameplay and to be honest bring back snake! Mines actually faulty believe it or not! Took it back to 02 shop and they said they would have to send it a way for repair but they dont give out a loan phone so going to be without a phone for a week. (Keeps turning itself of randomly. nice phone just seems very rushed to me, no bluetooth, lack of features, crap battery, camera not brilliant. OVERAL: DISAPOINTING

  • Bought an O2 XM from O2 shop today as present for my daughter's birthday. The Memory Card does not seem to click into place. The Memory Card rubber cover does hold the card in. If you pull the cover off, the Memory Card can easily come out. Does anyone know if this is a defect in this handset? Thanks Martin

  • Traded in my old X2 for a new XM.... wow. Me likes. Pleased I didn't believe some of the posts on this page as they are a million miles off the mark. Great phone....... USB cable opens many doors. Dan.

  • My friend bought this afew days ago, and SHE HATES IT. Firstly, the battery is astonishingly SH*T, and the ringtone can't even be changed! We've tried setting from the default 'Ring Ring' to another one and all that comes up when someone rings her is the simple 'Ring Ring' all the time, no matter what tone we select. Truly disappointing. The exact same problem also occurred with my other mate's O2 XM phone. Don't buy it.

  • hey. i was thinking about getting this phone on a O2 tariff and i'd like to know if its worth it as i got and O2X2 last year and that kinda sucked. i'd really appreciate it if anyone would email me and tell me what they thought or whether i should get it or not or whatever. thanks

  • this fon is so nice, but lack of features

  • Bought this a few days ago from O2 shop for �69.95. Chose it mainly because of price. Was choice of this or Nokia 6020 for �79.99 and this had pc lead & SD Card plus better spec. Overall impressed with phone but have had a few strange problems. I'm sure it doesn't vibrate every time I get a text. The alarm once sounded as a beep instead of the tune it was set to play and a when a text came through it beeped instead of playing the set tune.Anyone else experienced this? To answer a few questions: 1) You don't get a CD the usb drivers are on the phone so your pc should recognise it instantly as extra drives (assuming you are using XP.. I assume 98 etc wouldn't work though it could be made to if you can get the driver to the pc). 2) To have an mp3 as a ringtone, install the mp3 to the phone rather than the card and it should appear in your ringtone listings. 3) To change the phone to silent rather than vibrate you have to select the light only option in the audio section. If I'd paid the �200 initial price, I don't think I'd be overjoyed, but for �70 I'll see how it goes. It's a decent phone but the little strange quirks are a bit worrying, at least I have 14 days to swap it for the Nokia if things get worse. Battery is not bad until you connect it to the pc or use the mp3 player. If you want to seriously use this as an mp3, either forget it or buy a stock of spare batteries!!

  • Matt & Panda. How strange.... my sister and I have been given XM's as presents, and haven't had any of the issues you tell us about. We think the phone is fab (we had Nokia's and Samsung's before). Maybe its a guy thing!!! and only us girls know how to work the buttons!!!

  • jus got this phone a few days ago and have had several problems already. It freezes quite often. When someone calls/texts their name doesnt come up even if they are in your phonebook. When i call/get called by someone I cant hear them an they cant hear me. Not impressed by this fone, am taking it back and changing it for a different one tomorrow.

  • I wouldn't recommend getting this phone. I got it when it was first launched, I'm now onto my 3rd phone and am phoning this week to ask that they let me choose another model - been looking about and will probably go for the Samsung Z500. I can sympathise with everything d has said below as I've had all the same problems - even speaking to the O2 people who know little about the phone. MMS messages are a nightmare to send, and once sent they don't actually reach their destination. I've been charged for downloading music onto the memory card, then had to get the phone changed and the memory card with all the music I've paid for won't work on the new phone unless its formatted - which means wiping all the tunes. It says you can use MP3 tunes as ringtones but god knows how because I've tried and failed many times. Phone switches off all the time when you're in the middle of writing a text, and the amount of times I've lost count when someone has moaned because I havn't replied to a text - the text doesn't reach me in the first place. If you're thinking of getting this phone, don't. If you already have the phone then I suggest you ask for a replacement and if they offer you the same phone again but just a different one argue your case because like I say, I'm on my 3rd one now and its been a waste of time.

  • Hi, just bought the o2 xm and so far i think its good. The only problem im having is getting my computer to recognise the memory disk. Can anyone help?

  • ALRITE, i'll set things straight for everyone. The bad things about his phone first. The battery life is poor, using it a fair amount will make it run out in a day The videos will only last 9 SECONDS and are of a poor quality When you recieve a text, the phone may not recognise the number even if it is in your address book. this can get VERY annoying! The phone does have a zoom function, but not for the megapixel option. Megagpixel photos on this phone warp very easily,and without buying extra memory (memory card) you wont be able to hold many. The phone randomly switches off, particularly whilst opening games or playing music Last, this phone is hardly well known, hence hardly any games are available for the phone, for instance, and the staff at the o2 helplines know little to nothing about this phone, dispite it being an o2 phone! The phone is barely 'coustimisable' - no screensavers, cant change layouts, not much to change in settings. also mms dont send at first The good The phone does come with a usb cable, which works VERY well and quickly. The camera is a good quality one The phone comes with a good memory card The mp3 player works well *tries to think of more good points* nope thats it, all the above is true, hope this helps!

  • i think it looks v.good butim annoyed that it dont cum with a memory well i dont think it does nd the batery is rubbish but very very good fone

  • can any1 please tell me how good the quality of the video and pictures are? is it an all round gd fone?

  • Is anyone else finding the battery life is very poor, the phone is prone to freezing/switching itself off and cannot add new words to text/use symbols while using the predictive mode?

  • i will mainly use it for video clips is the battery life any good,

  • is the video length really limited to just 9 seconds? please help me as i am hoping to buy this fone

  • EMER...... Go to the O2 shop and play with both. The XM is newer tech.

  • hi i'm trying to decide which phone to buy. would the XM be recommended or the other option is the motorola V635 which i've heard great things about. i need help as i am planning to buy this week! and had my heart set on the moto until i saw this one!

  • has this phone got bluetooth and infr-red?

  • can you download java applications onto the memory card using a pc, then access them on the phone when the card is inserted?

  • Can anyone explain to me why the XM gets so little marketing attention by O2 as it gets. You cannot find the device under digital players though it is the best player yet by far.

  • I heard that the X4 was going end of life. Go talk to an O2 shop and I think you will buy the XM

  • I'm trying to decide between this and the o2 X4. Has anyone tried both, and if so which did you prefer? Oh, and a quick question about the XM: can you use the camera zoom in any resolution? Thanks.

  • Hey............ got an XM. Music player is good. Speed puts other phones to shame.

  • can you put pics on to the comp with this? has is got good reception? pleeeeeeese reply

  • Hi Rich. You can download games (freeware)from midlet.org/wap - Choose "all generic phones" and then start download.

  • hi i've just been given the XM as a replacement for a faulty X3. Are there any games available for this? Is this phone going to have problems like the X3? I know people slate the X3 the only problem I found was not being able to send MMS. liked the look of it to. I'll certainly give the XM a good go i just hope to find other things apart than music its compatible with. take care all. R

  • Hi tony, sounds like its a problem with the drive letters in winXP, try to go to Controlpanel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management and reassing the drive letters for ur removable storage.

  • have this phone, love it, BUT, does it do more than 9 seconds video recording??? i cant seem to be able to record more!!!! rest of the phone is very good ho, decent camera, good mp3 player, ok games.

  • hi everyone, can anyone tell me (as all at O2 seem not to know too much about the XM!)if the phone is supposed to come with a cd to sync it to the computer for mp3 downloads? i am having mighty trouble(this is my first ever phone).the computer is only recognising the internal drive of the phone and not the 256mb removable memory card. and yes i formatted the card. please i am going out of my mind!

  • I just bought an XM and O2 have thrown in a free DVD player. Phone is quick, and very good. Thanks O2 for my new toys.

  • Ellie....... the XM is light silver. Below the outer display the slants have lights that flash sever or eight different colours.

  • Done, new phone on the way to me. Here's hoping second time lucky, cos its annoying having to use a friend's phone to phone someone when I've my own but no signal!!

  • Looks like an amazing phone. I personally think that all the o2 phones are excellent. Im irish and they NEVER release them here. The only one they did was the O2-X1 and 3/4 of them were faulty!. I want this phone! Also I have one question. If I purchased an xm, (that obviously has an o2-uk simlock) if I inserted my irish o2 sim into it would it work? Please write back here or email me at [email protected]

  • Panda.... take the phone back and get a new XM. You shouldn't have these issues.

  • Hi, Got this phone just under two weeks ago. Agree the mp3 is great, and after upgrading from a Nokia its great to have a camera with better pictures. The video clips are only 9 seconds - could do with them being a bit longer. Main problem I'm having though is that a can't get a signal in place that my old nokia would have perfect signal in. Also text messages don't always send and people have said they've sent me texts that I havn't received. Its this a common problem with the phone, or do you think I just have a faulty one??

  • Tim..... XM supports all. MP3, AAC+ & ACC. Will also work with 2MB Memory Card.

  • i am getting one 4 my bday and am a music freak. Just how good is this mp3 player and is it worth it. Also need 2 no what games already has on it. any help would b grateful

  • Morning all, Loving the handset but trying to find out the codec - does anyone know if it's MPS or ACC AAC+? Geeky question I know! Cheers, T.

  • Andy.......... XM is tri band not dual. Works on 900 / 1800 /1900 mhz.

  • Liz........ XM phone is 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz. It will work in the land down under. Julie.

  • Boy this is the best phone i have ever owned! (Out of about 60) It's fast, it�s nice and the multiplexing is just amazing. Take a photo while listening to music. Etc. Bye it! You wont be disappointed.

  • HELP PLEASE HELP ME i REALLY BADLY need ot know whether thsi phone works in australia, as someone said its good for usa but what about aus? Thankyou SO SO much to the person who can answer this! :)

  • should i pay �170.99 for this phone

  • everyone says their's is quick, mine wasn't. I found it slower than my old nokia 6610

  • does this phone really work and is it quick

  • Hi Richard....... bad luck me thinks. I bought an XM for the music player. I have had no issues with battery performance (it does use the juice.... as expected / My battery lasted three and a half hours). Texts seem okay. Love the performace / speed. Problem now is ........ my wife wants a phone. Maybe you got a Monday phone.

  • I bought this phone, and took it back.It was quite a nice phone, and the mp3 player was very good. The problem was that I bought this for the mp3 player as I am always on coachs, but the The battery life was terrible.it went from full to flat in around 2 hours of usage. Not much good on a 3 hour journey! Also the mp3 player kept freezing up, and required restarting. Finally it kept switching off randomly Finally the text messaging was not good. I couldn't work out how to add new words into the dictionary for the predictive text. wasn't in the instruction manual either. shame really as this could have been a really nice phone

  • I really like this phones but i don't know if it is worth �180 please post an oppinion if you have 1 2 tell me

  • My Dad's bought me an XM instead of an iPod. I was really p****d at first, but the fact that I can have 1Gig of tunes and a camera and a camcorder and a phone, all in 1 small package - I'm stacked and my mates are really jealous:-)

  • Julia......... Read your post, and bought an XM. Music player / speed is the highlight for me. �180 UKP....... its a bargin. The Intel chip inside sure speeds things up.

  • Yes........ I have purchased an XM and am amazed at the speed of the thing, compared to my old Nokia. Downloads work for me..... what a fab product.

  • Has anyone got their hands on one yet? what is your impression? - is it nice? - does music download really work? Im thinking about buying one, so it would be nice to hear from someone who bought it!

  • hi, just been comparing this with the O2 X4. Confused... can this play MP3 ringtones? Are there any other differences between this and the X4? Please help! Thanks :-)

  • Yes the phone record video in 3GP format and you can send it on MMS or store it on the SD-card

  • can u record videos with this fone? and which fone do u think is worth it this one or samsung e720?

  • Firstly, let's get the technical spec correct. This phone is a tri-band 900/1800/1900, so it works in the USA. It's out today and is available on contract and pay as you go (�180-�200 in O2 shops). The screen is vibrant, the spec is good, but the biggest plus point is its speed. Because this device has an Intel processor, it's very very fast. There's no waiting for menus, no delay between photo or video selection. I'm getting one for sure and I expect to get a lot of interest from friends and family around present giving times.

  • I have found the best deal for this phone. In O2 shops in London,at the moment it is being sold for �179.99. I am not sure when it comes out though. Hope this was helpful.

  • Hi need some help plz...........have got the new o2 XM great mobile but cant get to download any music....(yes im blonde)how to I convert my cds to mps to get them on mobile

  • Red wrote "- Fact: It is NOT a Maxon phone like the X1 (read my last entry)" Both right and wrong. It 100% developed in Denmark by FL Telecom. Which is the reinkarnation of Maxon(they went down last year)

  • hi, i was just wondering how much people have been paying for these, because i really like them and its my birthday soon so i was hoping to get 1!

  • Great fone

  • The XM is now shipping and will should be on a shelve near you in the UK ;-)

  • then me and my colleagues must have been having the same hallucination, joe. Again, whats that all about!!?

  • SH I........ FLT don't have any reps. What you smoking!!!!!

  • joe, we were told by the finnish reps that it was the first fone they have done for o2. So tell me mate, whats that all about. LOL2 XXX

  • The phone has been integrated by Fl Telecom in Denmark. It's the first handset that Intel ever managed to get accepted by a network and manufactured in volumes. The sw stack comes from a UK company called TTPCom.

  • Is it going to be available in Ireland? Cause I really wanted the O2-X3 but it was never for sale over here. The xm looks really good, so of course I want one!! If any one knows if its going to be for sale in Ireland will you please write back? Thanks Gizmo

  • the phone is excellent to be used in a business lunch at "Rephael".

  • The phone was finally approved by O2, It will be out next week. I'm testing this phone these days and the MP3 is very cool, but the phone still has some problems(in the MMI and it shuts itself some times). The camera is nice but don't expect for something amazing.

  • This device might not have the coolest design (the external antenna bugs the hell out of me), but I'm impressed by several other things. I really really like the menus. They are very simple and the language is easy to understand. This is much better that in most other devices I've seen. I particularly like the messaging interface. Obviously engineers haven't been involved here ;) The MP3 player works really well. The sound is good. It also supports AAC and AAC+ files (haven't tried it, though). For me (as a music freak), this is the main feature. The device comes with a converter that enables you to use any set of headphones = great sound!!! MP3 files can be used as ringtones, so pick any song in your music collection! The USB cable is great too. Data transfer is fast and simple. A few points of criticism: I want an internal antenna! The design shouldn't be this generic silver

  • Hint: When you get your hands on an XM, goto wap.GetJar.com, the phone scoops up and runs all (or most at least) generic Java games and applications my old phone used to choke on

  • Ladies and Gents read the name i have the inside info. The phone should be launch on 04/07/05 (although it has been delayed twice). It takes SD / MMC and has 13.8 internal memory and a 1.3mp camera with night mode and zoom

  • I work for o2, and I've just been told it comes with a 256mb card free (or atleast added to the already �200 cost).

  • Hi Red. Thanks for the info. Who manufactures the product?

  • SH I and Joe and others... Should we restrain from personal comments for a second and concentrate on the phone... As there seems to be some confusion, I would like to set a few things straight about the XM: - Fact: It is a tri-band, so you can travel in the US with it - Fact: It has USB and synchronizes with WMP - Fact: It takes SD memory cards (up to 2 GB) - Fact: It is NOT a Maxon phone like the X1 (read my last entry) Now, I'm not an O2 shareholder, so I do not take a personal interest in this, but I have tried the phone and believe me - it works!

  • Tikki..... your so right about the X1 and X2. Im told that O2 have learned its lesson and have flogged to death the XM software to ensure the user experience is spot on... Time will tell.

  • the problem with these o2 phones is that they always seem to go wrong. for instance i bought the o2 x1 and it was an impressive phone for that time but it would always switch itself off even though it had full battery, send msgs to the wrong people even if it said it had sent it to the right person, and other stuff, the x2 which i have now is just as bad. i took it to the shop and the assistant said that theyve had alot of complaints like mine on the o2 phones, so perhaps the x3/x4 or xm will have faults too.

  • does the o2 XM have bluetooth??

  • sh i......... Your still wrong my friend. This is the second product the Denmark team have been involved with for O2. Oh dear........ and Im the Moron. LOL

  • are o2 member and joe sexually repressed or something. constantly bashing other people!! Sad lives or what.

  • Dear Joe, when is said 1 mobile, i meant for o2. The phone may be fast but fast at doing what exactly. No need for personal attacks, moron.

  • XM is designed by a Danish designer, powered by Intel and manufactured by one of the largest EMS suppliers in the world.

  • FL Telecom did the design with support from Intel. Don't know who manufactures the product.

  • Never heard about FM Telecom. Is this the former Maxon Telecom Denmark? If FM Telecom is the Design House, who is the manufacturer?

  • sh i........ Your a headcase. The company is FL Telecom not FM Telecom. Like the last comment says.... get your info right.

  • si h.... Your homework is a little out of date. FL Telecom Mgmt team have taken 25+ products to market... not 1. You should reseach the history of the company before you make such false statements. Like you I have been on the FL Telecom introduction... the phone is way faster than any current model... do I assume you attended the meeting / intro to avoid having to work?

  • in uk, it comes with usb cable, headphone adaptor for standard headfones and the usual but no software.

  • At o2, we've just had a presentation from FM Telecom, the developers of the XM. They are indeed scandinavian (from Denmark) and it is their first phone. It is due out this month but to be honest, there is not much to shout about, apart from the ease of use.

  • Does this phone have a USB port? or do you have to download from wap?

  • i read some where t3 mag or stuff that if the unit has a sdi/o slot then bluetooth can be added.This has been in the magazine and is very fast at what it does with the intel chip.it should go on sale early summer for �200 on prepay.I am starting to look at the smaller phone because these new ones are big (smartphones) and the ones ive had dont do that much more than a normal phone these days and am sure many never actually use the extra functions anyway

  • u can find a picture of the phone unfolded an in higher res at: www.littlewoods-online.com

  • The phone actually is a Triband phone (900/1800/1900) so you can travel around the world with it.

  • this fone is rubish for its money i heard its between 200-250 english pounds on pay as u go i could get the samsung d500 for that also i doesnt even look tht good yeah u say it can hold 300 songs but try the smasung 300i tht can aswell and tht has the ipod wheel No bluetooth thats rubish I am starting to think the 02 x3 is better

  • SD cards come up to 1 GB (or is it 2 GB?). Do you realize that means some 300 mp3 tunes (or maybe 600) - in a phone! Why did I ever buy that Ipod ;-)

  • I thought my long search and patience had paid off! At last, a dinky, pretty, performing little phone - BUT STILL NO BLUETOOTH! When will someone realise that us ladies like our phones to be highly functional fashion accessories?! I will not change from O2 to another service provider, so I guess I must still play the waiting game!

  • at last, a seriously fast processor to download music and use graphics, how can I get one ?

  • i ment mini sd

  • good lookin and stylish phone. it comes out 2nd quarter of 2005. i hear it has no IRDA port and no bluetooth but it has an MP3 player. it will be aprox 200 quid when it comes out. it has a Mini DS memory card slot. when you buy the phone it should come with a free 64MB Mini DS Memory Card. i hope it has no problems like the previous X-RANGE mobiles

  • I wonder if the "Intel Inside" on this phone is a mistake - the O2 XphoneIIM definitely uses an Intel Xscale (ARM)processor. This phone looks seriously underpowered. Still very curious as to who manufactures it - can't find that out anywhere. BenQ are the normal partners but it doesn't seem to be part of that range.

  • Where do you get this phone from i serously want one Is it better than the o2 X3? is it more than �100

  • Great design, fantastic features and Intel inside. Should be the next thing to have.

  • does anyone now how much it is gonna cost

  • The phone has Intel Inside and is their first attempt on the mobile market, so obviously they are behind it but who else? Rumour has it that it is a Scandinavian developer..

  • Its not Maxon that I know 100%. Companies bringing this to market are much bigger.

  • Maxon (information from O2 themselves)

  • Does anybody know who makes this handset ? Cheers JB

  • My impression of this phone is: Smart, Fast and Reliable. The musicplayer is really a hit. It's amazing how fast it is to download tracks.

  • June 2005 from an mmO2 shop.

  • I gotta have this phone... Where to buy?

  • This is a strong yet not expensive phone. Very fast, you can play the 3D NBA game smoothly, amazing!

  • I have checked the phone and found it quite cool. Bad: Antenna and no BT or PC synch. Good: Great slim size although huge and clear display, MMC card and Megapixel camera. Amazing processor speed! AAC+ music format = each track app. 1MB. Great sound. I want one..

  • I have had the opportunity to try this phone, and yes, it is fast, but moreover with a very logic user interface. Btw, the music player synchronizes with Windows Media Player!

  • T3 Magazine in the UK did a feature. Its was very positive. I think it hits the shops early June 2005. Ive used one and have pre ordered.

  • Nope, never saw it for real... has anybody seen it anywhere else than here?

  • BillyBob...Im told that 3 main companies brought this product to market. 3 Big Names (Intel being 1) .... and they succeeded. Have you seen this product work?

  • Does anyone know who manufactures this phone ?

  • Iv'e seen this phone up and running. Its the first with Intel inside........ boy is it fast.

  • you need to call customer services and ask about unbilled amount. sam.

  • i got O2 contract, can sum 1 tell me how 2 check how many minutes u hav left????????????????????????????????????????????­?????????/Thank u

  • Its my opinion , so back off pal1

  • This phone has been made to appeal to first time buyers or ppl who dont want a phone that has the top notch technology!

  • the O2 manufactirers are going backwards! Compare the new Nokia N-series phones with this!!!!
