I emailed O2 yesterday asking when the XDA Serra would be launched, as this was the name I was led to believe O2 would be giving to the Raphael/Touch Pro. I just got the following reply:
"I understand the XDA Serra to be the HTC Touch Pro. We are expecting to call this device the XDA Crystal and has an expected release date of 03 November 2008."
I am an XDA Stellar (Kaiser/TytnII) user and will seriously consider replacing it with the XDA Crystal as I think the Crystal will offer almost all of the same features but will have a better UI and will be faster to respond due to more memory.
Any thoughts?
check out the forum and u wil know wat u should expect...

Hi I'm new to the forum, I've had an old XDA from O2, now I'm looking to upgrade to a later model.
There seems to be 2 different XDA2 models, the XDA2i and the XDA2s,
could you discuss the merrits of both models so I might make an informed choice when I purchase.
Thanks in advance.
this page compares all the XDA models and will let you see which is the best one to choose
http://www.my-xda.com/comp.html
I personally have a the XDA 2i which is the best specs wise ... and i also think it is the best design too, the foldout keyboard just really puts me off the XDA 2s.
But if you still cant decide, just go into the O2 shop, there only too happy to let you see the difference.
Take a look at the Jam/Qtek S100/MDA compact too - i've just dropped my XDA2 for one and am very happy..
I sell O2 Mobile phones - we have a new one on the way called the XDA IQ or QI (they make have made a spelling error) - but I can't find a reference to this on any forum or web site... anyone know what this is normally called? Is it the Atom, Orion, Neo, Prophet, JamIn, Tornado, or something else, or am I barking mad?
We were shown a pic of it in some obscure training session, and it was black, but can't remember if there was a keypad or not.... I'm thinking Orion (http://www.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_orion-1373.php) or Atom (http://www.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_atom-1372.php).
Cheers for any light youse can shed.
its still pretty dark in this room of yours. i'm also looking for any light, spoke to a guy at T3 who said he had seen something new pop out of the closet, but it might have been hermes. can't be sure for myself.
I think its a tornado and its called an xda orion in other countries. Also read somewhere that its due for release 9th may.
Have you any idea of price yet?

The XDA IQ will be available internally on the 2nd, and publically on the 9th of May.
Havnt got a source, sorry, but I heard in good faith.
Finally, been waiting for o2 uk to release this phone for ages..
i have an xda atom (for about a month) which i'm thinking about selling and getting an xda iq instead... - anyone seen side by side photo comparisons of the two units? or maybe an tornado next to a prophet?
the atom is nice but i think i'd prefer going back to a normal phone form factor (so long as it isnt too big) and save myself about £100 in the process.

Hi everyone,
I've just been on the phone to O2 regarding my contract with my XDA mini s that had ended. I asked if there was any new XDAs planning to be released. The lady on the phone said that there are two planning to be released on the 15th January 2007.
They are called:
XDA Zinc
XDA Exec Graphite
She didn't have any other details to give me but I am wondering if anyone else has heard about these and if anyone knows anymore information about them? If there good it would be worth me hanging about and upgrading in a few months.
Chris
Yep O2 seem to be telling people about these product names but not giving out any details, and thus far none of the regular mobile sites have any info on them. I guess since they are not using HTC anymore they have found a manufactuer who can keep their mouth shut
From what I have been able to find out Graphite will be running WM5 Smartphone and Zince will be running WM5 Pocket Pc. I got this from Asian site, I couldn't make out what the rest of it said
Hi again,
I've been crawling round the internet about this. From this site http://www.dtac.co.th/th/10digits/10dg_modellist.aspx they state in brackets that the Graphite is O2 Jupiter. Searching for O2 Jupiter turns back a fair few results. It looks like its being made by asus. In the results theres alot mentioned about O2 Mars which looks like the TyTN/wizard, specs look good having 520Mhz Intel processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM etc. These of course could all be different phones but still interesting.
Heres some links:

I called 02 today with regards to my ocntract upgrade. The only phone i'm interested in is the xda atom exec, so they mentioned that there are 2 (above stated) xda's comming out. She them put me on hold and came back after 5 min and said that the XDA Atom Exec is going to be the graphite and zinc with different specifications. This info came from o2 customers service, so i guess it's true and the release date is the 15th Jan.
well hopefully they introduce new data plans when they release these handsets because at the moment data charges cost a bomb!
XDA Zinc
I can't find anyone in O2 that seems to know any plans for releasing the Zinc in the UK.
:-(
im lookinf forward to this
Hi @ll..
yesterday is was in an O2 Store and there was an information, that the XDA Orbit 2 (it´s a HTC Touch Cruise i think), will be released by O2 on 2nd December.
At home i found on the internet, that O2 will also release an "XDA Stellar", but no information about when it will come in Germany?
I was astounded about that PDA!! And now I think it will necessarily have it!! THATs SO COOL!!
but i don´t know, what Accessories the O2 Device will bring with it.
Also i could buy the original HTC Tytn II (is that the Kaiser?), but i think the o2 will be cheaper with more Accessories..
Someone has more information about it??
thanxx 2 @ll
[NEWS]
I phoned with the customer support of o2..
now it seems, that the XDA Stella(r) will not come in Germay
Instead of this one, the XDA Orbit 2 will come out (aka HTC Touche Cruise)
with carholder, Tom Tom, etc..
And no i decided to buy an original HTC TyTN II
me, as one of O2 owner, will not buy any O2 product anymore,.
It is expensive, and bad in customer service,.
In atom forum, most people agree of not going to buy any O2 device,.
It is better to use a HTC device, so many useful apps, WM6 upgrade is prepared by the Official, and espesially good in customer service,.
look at the ATOM forum, me, they, and any others members, havent solve the problem for WM6 ROM, (so we dont have a perfect WM6 ROM yet)
but look at HTC device, any non-perfect ROM?? nope,.
that because they have an official WM6 ROM,.
@ Garmin
you are right..
so i decided to buy the one from HTC.
But i never had problems the support of o2 (germany). this was great!
And the thing, why i wanted the one from o2, are the accessories like full TomTom, things for the car and the second pen..
My hopes dashed
Just got my hopes up that the Stellar was going to answer my prayers but now discovered that it only has a 2.8" screen.
I've had an XDA IIi for almost three years now. About every six months I have a search for any worthwhile upgrades and keep being surprised that HTC haven't brought anything out. All I want is an XDA IIi (or equivalent with a 3.5" screen as I use it for lots of surfing) with fast web browsing (3G). GPS would be nice. A decent camera would be nice but I'm not that fussed.
The XDA Exec looked good but was just too heavy (and based on some friends' experiences quite buggy and unreliable).
The XDA Trion got my hopes up but only had the 2.8" screen.
Is it just me? I just can't believe it. I have other few friends clutching onto other XDAs as well because they don't want to downgrade to something else.
Maybe the Samsung F700 will do it...
