O2 introduced a new mobile set in the market with lot of multimedia features it’s O2 XDA Guide. It’s all about entertainment or fun. O2 XDA Guide’s features are listed as under

• It’s nothing new really, but just as the iPod didn’t invent portable music, it appealed because it wrapped a load of features up in an attractive and easy to use package.
• The SatNav aspect comes courtesy of CoPilot Live 7, which is preloaded and ready to go on a supplied 1GB microSD card (you can boost the 512MB of onboard memory with memory cards of up to 32GB).
• Easy-to-use buttons as well as a variety of map views (2D or 3D, day or night) plus points of interest and traffic info. It’s a neat package and works perfectly well in practice, but it is let down a little by the Xda Guide’s smallish– at 2.8-inches, maps can look a little cramped and entering data via the onscreen keyboard is tricky at best, not that we’d ever think of doing such a thing while the car’s moving.
• It’s slim and lightweight at 101x53x14mm and 103g and that large round D-pad beneath the 65,000-colour, 240×320-pixel touchscreen has a revolving outer circle which helps when scrolling through menus, or zooming in and out of pictures or web pages.
• O2 XDA Guide has Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, which has the normal programs including a few extras such as Opera, Google maps, QuickGPS, Office Mobile, Windows Live and Messenger, Adobe, Footprints, Remote Desktop, RSS Hub, and You Tube, and of course TouchFLO.
• 3.15 MP, 2048×1536 pixels camera, allowing you take a photo (or video) of wherever you are, so you can make a record of the location. it is quick to open (about two seconds) and takes reasonably sharp pictures, even if the colours tend to look a little more washed out than is strictly necessary – a decent little snapper in other words.
• Viewing pictures is also fun, which allows you to brush your finger across the screen to change the pic, and you can zoom in or out of a particular part of a picture by tracing a circle on it with your finger.
• The music player will show cover art if available and there’s a customisable ten-band graphic equaliser to help you set the sound to your liking. Or you could use wireless headphones via the stereo Bluetooth connection.
• The O2 Xda Guide is a quad-band handset with HSDPA 3G for fast internet connection on the move, plus Wi-Fi so you can access broadband where available.
• You can create Word and Excel documents, and you can view PowerPoint documents and PDFs. You can also Zip files for easy sending and, this being Windows Mobiles, there are loads of additional apps available for download.
• The call quality was very good, except in particularly bad conditions, it was not the best in this area as I find other devices such as my Ignito manage slightly better, but the calls are loud and clear with the right conditions.
