02 XDA Stellar

02 XDA Stellar

Based on the phone to the HTC TyTN II, O2 XDA configuration includes some pretty impressive models, and the XDA Stellar is the first, which includes a built-in GPS and QWERTY keyboard.

Satellite navigation is taken care of CoPilot Live 7 Software included in the package, while Windows Mobile 6 drives the phone.

Size 20 mm thick and weighs 190g, XDA Stellar is too great for many, but if you want a qwerty keyboard that you want to make sacrifices. Push the left screen and the keyboard is revealed. Such a small space between the keys, typing is difficult at first, and certainly with two fingers only. The tilting screen makes it perfect to sit down to watch the video.

Windows Mobile 6 can not match the iPhone interface for ease of use, but it beats hands down in terms of functionality. Mobile versions of Word, Excel and Powerpoint included with Outlook, Messenger and Windows Media Player. It may be slow to react sometimes, though.

Battery life is not very big and pretty trying circumstances it takes a little over a day. Used sparingly, you should get a few days out of it.

CoPilot Live 7 works well, but it is slower than its own satellite navigation system, especially when browsing the map enlarged. It houses most of the features you'd expect (including updates on the traffic), but also the space walk passes one-way streets, is not smart enough to be directly through the park.

If you can deal with its size, the XDA Stellar offers a lot, but do not expect that kind of long documents. Also available through Orange, T-Mobile (as the MDA Vario III) with the cost to the contract, and sim-free for around £ 450.
