O2 Xda Atom Available in the Middle East
The image above says it all. Thanks to an impressive form factor and power-packed specs, the O2 Xda Atom has become a very popular device. Previously exclusive to the Asia Pacific region, the Xda Atom is now available for purchase in the Middle East, and it'll be the first of many O2-branded mobile devices to make its way over there. Perhaps we'll soon see the Atom in Europe as well? Time will tell.

I wonder if this was influenced by the impending introduction of the Quanta-OEM'ed HP "Atom" device (assuming HP already has some Middle East market penetration).

HP definitely has a market presence in the Middle East, though the rw6800 series (the one you're referring to) is only available in the Asia Pacific. So I doubt O2's expansion to the Middle East is related to it.

I feel sorry for them already.
This is an appalling device. Even after the ROM upgrade it is very slow and very flaky. The worst PPC I have ever owned - and I have lost count of how many I have ownded since 1998.
A colleague has a K-JAM. Now this, is a nice device. Way faster, no lock ups, a usable keyboard. I wish I could swap but the Atom is getting rather a bad reputation in Australia now.
