O2 Xda comet

The 02 Germany released this new latest Windows Mobile device, the soon to be released O2 Xda comet. While O2 Germany decided not to launch the HTC TyTN II (HTC Kaiser), it decided to release another follower of last year's released Xda trion (aka HTC Hermes) and unlike the HTC Hermes and and HTC Kaiser, the O2 Xda comet is a quite "traditional" Pocket PC Phone Edition, without sporting a thumb-keyboard but touch-screen focused only. As you might have read already, the O2 Xda comet isn't a brand new device anymore, since sprig it's available in Asia as the O2 Xda Atom Life already and O2 Germany decided to pick-up O2 Asia's top product to sell it in Germany now as well.

By sporting an ultra fast Marvell XScale PXA 270 CPU which is clocked at 624 MHz, this Windows Mobile 6 Professional devices also features triband GSM/GPRS/EDGE at 900/1800/1900 MHz and dualband UMTS/HSDPA at 1900/2100 MHz which supports HSDPA phase 2 with download speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps (even if O2 Germany is currently supporting 1.8 Mbps only). Furthermore, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 1.2 and even IrDA are inbuilt which allows to connect the device under virtually all circumstances.

Massive storage capacity of 1 GB of ROM and 64 MB of RAM which provides a good amount of space for storing MP3 files, movies and even whole country maps for navigation systems (and if this isn't enough, the memory can be extended with miniSD cards). And the memory can also be used to record radio shows because the device also includes an FM RDS radio.

The 2.7 " touch-screen display 65k and the main camera, which includes a photo light as well, supports 2 megapixel and also features a macro mode. A second camera on the front can be used for UMTS video telephony as well as self-portrait photos and videos (even if it is VGA only).
So except the somewhat outdated Bluetooth 1.2 module, the device is pretty well equipped, even if it misses GPS but even with all the features above, the O2 Xda comet measures 106 x 58 x 19 mm only at a weight of 148 g.
