Review By infosyncworld
At 128 x 81 x 25 mm and a 285 g, the O2 XDA Exec outmeasures and outweighs even heavyweights such as Nokia’s 9500 Communicator, yet remains surprisingly pocket friendly. Borrowing a page from the world of tablet convertibles, the device not only opens to become a clamshell; its screen half also swivels 180 degrees and closes to allow for tablet mode operation, with phone functionality not only preserved in both of these modes but also when closed.
Buttons sprout from every corner of the XDA Exec, allowing for quick access to important functions. It takes a bit of practice to open the device in clamshell mode without accidentally pressing one or two of them, but apart from this we’re as pleased with the buttons as we are with the sturdy, angular stylus; the large, dual alert LEDs and the front-mounted Infrared port. On the note of audio, we find - expectedly tinny - dual stereo speakers mounted in front, as well as a 3.5 mm earphone jack mounted in back - a bit impractical for pocket use.
The 1.3 Megapixel camera on the back of the Exec takes decent pictures, but does not quite measure up to the likes of recent handsets; still, it trumps any other communicator on the market but for the MDA Pro, although we have to say that the LED flash is more of a gimmick than anything else.

What it can do - Xda Exec key features
Always be in touch wherever you are with high speed internet access allowing you to surf the internet, access your emails, talk on the phone or do all at the same time (In 3G mode). With the latest Microsoft Mobiles 5 you can download the latest news and video clips. Whether for business or leisure use, the Xda exec is the ultimate handheld mobile device.
Your Xda Exec utilises the newest technology and can connect using 3G, GPRS or using Wireless Lan. 3G is the next generation of mobile networks and provides browsing and download speeds up to 4 times faster than GPRS. That means as the services and applications become available you’ll be able to access what we currently offer but with a faster and richer experience. Our 3G coverage can be found in many towns and cities now, such as London, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, and Edinburgh. Coverage will continue to go through the process of aggressive expansion and by the end of 2005 we will have increased to over 50% of the UK population.Your Xda Exec is also a tri-band GPRS mobile combined with a PDA (personal Digital assistant). The tri-band operation gives you access to GSM networks worldwide. In the UK O2’s GPRS network covers 99% of the population, and you can get fast mobile data on over 100 GPRS networks abroad in over 70 countries.
