Okay, that’s just me getting carried away, but calling a product “Stealth”, rather than, say, “Chocolate” or “Pearl”, sets some pretty high expectations. Does this O2 device meet them? Read on to find out!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/hisham-20061010-stealth2.JPG" /><br /><br />After all the postings on this new device, we finally get to see an in-depth review. Bearing in mind that this review was conducted on an early production version, there's a few cons that need to be highlighted:<br /><br />•Build quality is so-so<br />•Tactile feedback on the keyboard is very poor<br />•Average reception and volume<br />•The headphone socket is proprietary 8O<br /><br />On the plus side, it's a speedy device (almost as fast as the Atom), and has all the O2 software frills (or junk depending on your point of view). Frankly, this is a bit of a come down after the build-up :(
