O2 Announces XDA IIs -- Based Off HTC Blue Angel?
TekGuru is reporting on O2's plans to release a successor to the popular XDA II product in the Europe.
"Having secured over a third of the UK�s wireless handheld market* with the Xda II, O2 today announced the introduction of two brand new Xda II devices, the Xda IIs and XDA IIi. The new devices will include new enhancements to the integrated PDA and mobile handset, whilst retaining the core functions of the original Xda II platform that have proved so popular with both consumer and business customers. The Xda IIs will be available in the UK and Ireland on 1st November 2004, Germany by December 2004, and the XDA IIi early 2005."
It clearly looks like the HTC Blue Angel, which we've previously referred to as the XDA III/MDA III, so I guess there's yet another name for it. I like the black styling, myself. The unit's quadband -- so I hope we see unlocked versions in North America soon. 8)

.... and if anyone has any comments it would be appreciated if they could post them on Tekguru as O2 will be reviewing the users comments and thoughts. Cheers.

Wow, that's going to confuse somebody.

Those look like pretty cool specs. I would take this over the MPx if that's the case. When is someone in the US going to finally release something that the rest of the world has?!

My one year contract with o2 just finished and have been looking at mobiles for upgrades. This looks like a good candidate but knowing o2's pricing policy I probably won't get it. I think I will just stick to my current devices for now and just get a K700 or 7610 and get a new high end PDA next year.
