O2 Xda Atom Exec Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the short-term-upgrades-rarely-are dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNET has posted a full review of the new O2 Xda Atom Exec smartphone device. They were very impressed with the handheld, giving it their 'Editor's Choice' award. From the article: 'On its own, the Exec is a highly impressive, push e-mail enabled smart phone, but if you already own the first Atom, its upgrade worthiness is questionable.'"

    I have the O2 Exec... otherwise known as the HTC Universal and I love it.

    It does all of the usual PDA stuff as well as being my mobile phone, GPS (with additional matchbox sized receiver) and I can walk round town using MiniStumbler to detect open WIFI.

    It syncs with Exchange so I can access my work public folders and Global Contacts. It also does email, texts, web, etc etc.

    And yes... the Universal can run Linux: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35 972

    Oh, nearly forgot, it also doubles up as an mp3 player with an additional SD card (up to 4GB). So quite a step up from my previous Palm V :-)
