Asus, and most other manufacturers, don't list devices produced for third-party companies. A couple of exceptions are HTC and TFW.

Hi Guys

Ever since this device was announced several days ago i have hunted every nook and cranny on the net for info on this beast....and have found some very real gems of info.

The O2 Xda Flame shall be made by Asustek and i have great respect for this company as i am currently using a Asus P525 which i have to say this is the best and most stable Pda i have ever owned..and i have had nearly every PDA/Smartphone since they came out.

Alot of love goes into to making these devices and the quality of build and there ROMS in my opion are better than HTC
The Benchmark for ASus Mobiles are far faster and stable than all other PDA manufacturers.

So we know we are getting a quality device

Srs Surround Sound
Micro Sd Card
A2DP
Bluetooth 2.0

One big caveat: No CF slot like my 4700. Tsk.

To be fair, it's a Pocket PC Phone Edition. Aside from supporting high-capacity cards and a couple of exclusive accessories, CF slots only add thickness to the device. People tend not to want that in a phone.

All the phones being built by Asustek can be found here. As you can see they are also building O2's other new units.

If you click on the XDA Flame you will get the complete specifications including what is accessible on rom and ram and the battery capacity etc.

The phone will have CSD, GPRS, EDGE and UMTS.

The estimated battery life is just 11 hours so that means daily charging - but then I do this already with my XDA2 so it is not a problem for me. I am just happy that there is a true replacement for my XDA2 at long last!

One comment on the HTC Athena is that it is a UMPC not a PPC - they are different products. A UMPC is not something you can slip into your pocket and use like a normal phone! - it is a machine which sits on your desk or on your lap like a tabletPC and uses Windows XP and Celeron processors. It is far too bulky to be used as a personal device you can carry around with you at all times.

Comparing a minature laptop PC and a PPC is just silly. Now if they could squeeze a UMPC into the same dimensions as a PPC then we would be talking! But we will have to wait for 100GB flash drives to become available plus fast processors that required no fan cooling etc. Keep dreaming....
