O2 Xda Flame Launched

Dale Ahn · #1 05-15-2007, 12:55 PM

O2 Asia launches the brand new Xda Flame which in some areas is very impressive but in some areas not so much. It boasts a large 3.6” VGA touch screen with a dedicated graphics processor, a 520MHz processor, 2 GB of internal memory, and 3G connectivity. But the fact that the Flame is running on Mobile 5.0 when Windows Mobile 6 is already out and about is a bit of a disappointment.

Specifications:

Large 3.6” TFT VGA touch screen display
Dedicated NVIDIA GoForce 5500 GPU graphics processor
520MHz Intel XScale PXA 270 processor
2GB onboard memory + 64MB Flash ROM
128MB RAM
microSD expansion
2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and 4x digital zoom
Secondary camera for video calls
Wi-Fi
Bluetooh 2.0 + EDR

You can find more information on the new Xda Flame here and here.

According to O2's website, the Flame does support 3G. Is that a lie on their part, or at least misinformation?

Thanks for pointing that out bsadler. I believe that was my mistake.

Yes, the Flame does support 3G.

I hope you didn't take that as a criticism

I just was thinking if it does have 3G capabilities, wouldn't it be one of the better devices to get, with all it has under the hood, along with 3G support? I just wish I wasn't under contract with Sprint right now

Now this is a device worth waiting for. A full package pocket pc phone. With 3G and wifi capabilities.
It may not have WM6 but i think its better that way, besides i find WM5 a more stable flatform than the later.
Now i want to sese these features in action.
Connectivity:
Built-in Wireless LAN 802.11b/g
Bluetooth® SIG version 2.0 + EDR
Infrared IrDA with remote control capability
USB On-The-Go (Full speed up to 12 Mb/s)
TV-Out connector

Talk about connectivity...
