Orange Launches Branded Version Of XDA-II
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/68/35368.html
"Mobile phone network Orange has branched into the wireless PDA arena. The latest model in its SPV line of own-brand devices, the M1000, is a PocketPC with an integrated tri-band GPRS radio. The M1000 is remarkably similar to O2's XDA II device, but lacks the latter's Wi-Fi option. Both devices are based on a 400MHz Intel XScale processor and contain 128MB of RAM. Both offer a 3.5in 240 x 320 16-bit colour transflective LCD, and sport integrated digicams. Both run Windows Mobile 2003."

No word yet on availability and pricing will depend on your contract.

Kind of off topic, but does anyone know where I can get the skin that is displayed on the Orange device? Thanks for your help.
On topic: I wish I could get a model like this that works with the Verizon network.

When did the XDAII get WiFi option? Or do they mean Wifi expansion option, as in add a wifi SD card. In that case, don't all PPC with SDIO have a wifi option?
Or does he mean BT option??

Just as one of our colleagues asked... does anyone know the name of that excellent skin on the Orange?
It would be an excellent addition to one's collection so hopefully it is not an Orange proprietary skin...
Hope someone can respond...
Thanks.

Great looking devices but they sound expensive.

Just what I like, well informed news from established news agencies. I guess even The Register can make a mistake every once in awhile.
Just to confirm the XDA II does NOT have WiFi. It DOES have Bluetooth.
