O2 Xda Original Atom Exec

This pocket-sized fusion of phone and PDA has enough features to satisfy both business and consumers, but a premium pricetag place squarely in the camp of companies. O2 says that mobile email of this model is the key function, using Direct Push Technology for download wireless email, contacts, appointments and tasks from a Microsoft Exchange mail server.

You can also configure POP mail accounts with the mail client automatically providing settings for services such as Hotmail and Gmail. Messaging does not have the same wealth of features that the version of Microsoft Office Outlook, but there is enough of what most users happy, as the vast input support, the ability to use multiple mail accounts and basic functions such as signatures and priorities.

E-mail users frequent but beware: during testing we accessed between 100 KB and 1 MB per day using GPRS, a generous data plan is required. You also need good eyes and a steady hand to use to e-mails on the small keyboard on the screen. The $ 130 price difference between the Atom Exec and the original Atom is a Gunmetal gray finish, a faster processor, more integrated memory and extra software.

The same 802.11b Wi-Fi, tri-band GSM / GPRS and Bluetooth 1.0 support have been carried over from his predecessor, but given the executive positioning as “an essential tool for professionals on the move , One would have expected an upgrade quad-band GSM / GPRS at the very least.

There are a few consumer-friendly such as multimedia playback and a megapixel camera, but these are gimmicky. You need to buy a mini-SD card to take advantage of the Executive multimedia capabilities and two-megapixel camera produces pictures of poor quality.
