XDA IQ 2.2" TFT
Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone operating system has lost a little momentum as SIM-equipped devices running Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC become more varied in form factor, and thus suitable for a wider range of markets. Competition from devices such as Orange's recent SPV M600, which feels like a smartphone in the hand but offers Pocket PC functionality, is a case in point. Nonetheless, the smartphone version of Windows Mobile 5.0 remains popular enough for O2 to launch one with integrated Wi-Fi -- the Xda IQ.
O2’s Xda IQ looks every inch a smartphone, its overall dimensions (46.5mm wide by 109mm deep by 18.5mm high) and weight (110g) being entirely average for its class. The silver and black styling is distinctive, but the way the screen and keyboard are bisected by an array of shortcut buttons and a mini joystick is pretty standard.
The Xda IQ is a quad-band handset with support for GPRS and EDGE. O2 does not have an EDGE network in the UK, but some of its international roaming partners do.
Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone is the core software, and O2 is shipping the Xda IQ with Microsoft's Direct Push services enabled. For companies running the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server, this means the Xda IQ can deliver email and PIM data (calendar, contacts and tasks) in real time.
