Details of the O2 Xda Atom Revealed
Details of the O2 Xda Atom have been revealed, and to put it simply, this is everything the HTC Magician should have been, and more! The device features an Intel 416MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, a 2MP digital camera with flash, an integrated FM radio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, USB, and a stunning 262K-colour 240 x 320 (QVGA) screen. This awesome list of specs is packed into a shell measuring in at 102mm x 58mm x 18.5mm (roughly the same size as the HTC Magician) and the device itself weighs in at 150g. The Xda Atom also includes Windows Mobile 5.0 and a new media-centred application known as O2 MediaPlus, allowing the user easy access to music, video and images through a common interface. It is still not known whether the Xda Atom sports an SD slot or a miniSD slot. RRP is tagged at S$1,348 (~US$802) and is expected to be released in early December.

Wow! Now I have a really tough choice: buy the E-TEN M600 now or the better supported O2 XDA Atom?
If the O2 has mini-SD, then there's no way I'd get it. Considering it has an FM radio and USB, which the M600 doesn't have, then it will probably have miniSD.
I'm going for the M600 at this point. I'm with T-Mobile and they don't support EDGE AND I'll have the M600 for a couple more months!

It would be near perfect for me if it had a keyboard like the Wizard. A real SD slot would be nice but I'm sure it's miniSD.
TMobile has EDGE now.

This device simply looks awesome. Hope it has an SD slot. Although, for builtin wifi, WM2005 and that slick black look, I may buy a 1Gb MiniSD  .

T-Mobile has had EDGE for a while now. <a href=http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9168>Smartphone Thoughts</a> even had a story on it a while back.
I'm getting 80-100Kbps these days with an EDGE phone.

It seems weird to me that HTC is coming out with two devices as similar as the Wizard and the Atom. There's really not a lot of difference between the two. I admit that this looks better than the Wizard, but it seems like there should be GPS or something thrown into it to make it special. I do like the inclusion of the FM radio though.
