A Humorous XDA II Review
Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 10:00 PM
"If you think big is beautiful then O2's newest mobile device - the XDA II - packs a heavyweight punch. It's sturdy and it won't go missing in your pocket But if you reckon the best things come in small parcels this leviathan PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) looks about as stylish as a donkey jacket."
A scary opening, isn't it? 8O But the author goes on to point out that if you need the features, and don't mind the idea of holding a Pocket PC to your ear, the XDA II is a very good choice. His kids don't like it though... :lol: I wonder -- how many of you like his offbeat reviewing style?
"This is for grown-ups. Grown-ups who appreciate big-screen entertainment, solid form and sturdy build, where function matters more than looks and where the convention for ever smaller devices is disdainfully ignored. Well done designers. I spit on those dinky little smart phones where pudgy fingers struggle to cope with undersized keys, where the phone rings and an all-pocket search is required to find it. Imagine trying to read War and Peace through a letterbox and you realise how risible the small screen challengers are. "
