O2 has just launched its latest product, the XDA Atom. Compact and more stunning than the XDA II Mini, the Atom truly has a powerful appeal.
With dimensions even smaller than your business card holder and weighing just 140 grams, the XDA Atom boasts a sleek gray design with soft curves that fit comfortably in the user’s hand. The Atom has now become the world’s smallest multimedia mobile phone and PDA, yet it offers more features than its “older brother,” the XDA II Mini.
The XDA Atom is packed with many first-time features, including a 2.0-megapixel digital camera with integrated flash, FM radio, and the O2 MediaPlus application, which now includes an equalizer for Windows Media Player 10.
Additionally, the XDA Atom is the first device to run Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, featuring advanced new capabilities in the Microsoft Office suite for Windows Mobile.

More stunning |
Users can now access applications on the Atom more easily as they increasingly resemble PC applications, along with direct access to Hotmail and POP3 email accounts through Microsoft Outlook.
The Atom is powered by an Intel PXA27x chip running at 416 MHz, with 128MB Flash ROM and 64MB RAM. The battery life has been extended to 150 hours on standby and 5.5 hours of talk time, featuring wireless LAN, EDGE GSM/GPRS, Bluetooth v1.2 SIG, infrared port, mini-USB, and ActiveSync.

More compact |
The XDA Atom is a tri-band EDGE phone that provides users with three times the data transfer speed on existing GPRS networks.
Additionally, the XDA Atom includes new features such as the Self Diagnostics tool, which helps diagnose whether the Atom’s features are operating under optimal conditions, the Auto Configurator for frequent travelers, and O2 SMS Plus, which allows users to view all incoming and outgoing messages on a single screen page.
