 O2 X2i is announced in 2005
Design
Heavily influenced by classic O2 design in areas of shape, colour and design, weighing in at 95 g and measuring 44 x 89 x 22 mm, the X2i is petite and relatively lightweight. A perfectly adequate 65,000-color display is bright and crisp, and is a far step above the dim 4096-color versions on even the most recent O2 models.The display resolution 128 x 128 pixel which is standart resolution for more mobile phones.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all O2 handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The X2i is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent O2 handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering X2i's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the X2i boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 1.0, 24-channels polyphony, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the X2i is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the X2i was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 237 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The O2 X2i is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
O2 X2i is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical O2 design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
