O2 Xda Argon

O2 Xda Argon

O2 XDA line-up of Windows Mobile Pocket PC has been around for several years, and the operator to add new models. Finally, hit the test bench is XDA Argon, XDA III, a popular upgrade.

XDA Argon is unusually large and heavy (200 g, 129.7 mm long, 69.8 mm wide, 18.8 mm thick). It irritates, who want their gadgets to be small, but it appeals to anyone who finds reading the small screens of Windows Mobile devices a little piece because the XDA Argon is a screen that measures a massive (in terms of Windows Mobile) 3, 5 inches from corner to corner.

These people probably also like the fact that O2 has selected the SD card format choice in the relatively large small tiny miniSD and microSD are popular for PDAs and phones today. This may be a while before you need to use extra memory, however, because the Xda Argon has 256 MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM, which is generous with Pocket PC.

Bluetooth, infrared and Wi-Fi are all here, is a 2 megapixel camera, 400MHz processor and a jurisdiction is able to effectively keep the device current. Battery life is also good. We asked XDA Argon to play off a full charge and leave the screen size, and ordered the tracks with a couple of minutes to more than nine hours.

This is a good thing, but a couple of points on the Xda Argon can not impress a lot more. First, consider the operating system. Windows Mobile 5.0 is fine as far as it goes, but Windows Mobile 6 goes further, and those who want to use your Xda on a corporate network led by Microsoft Exchange Server may feel cheated by the lack Windows Mobile 6 provides the minutes of extra features .

Then there's the fact that the XDA Argon is a tri-band GSM coverage on other Windows Mobile Pocket PC to control quadband and 3G to shed some 'pasta. Finally, strangely, is a whole be taken into account. Yes, clutter great fit for some users, but others yearn for one of the many devices in the form of small, usually about one third smaller.

We can not think O2 might have tried a little harder with the Xda Argon. We are sure that some people will love, and is an update obvious to anyone who is currently using the Xda III, but if you are looking for a Windows Mobile device, which would be new tempted to go to something smaller and richer feature.

O2 has walked a fine line with the Xda Argon. Is it good enough to encourage users to upgrade Xda III, but may have trouble convincing anyone to come to Windows Mobile first choice unless they have difficulty getting to grips with the many available, small selected, more pocket friendly alternatives.
