O2 Launches Xda Zinc, O2 Graphite

O2 has launched its new mobile 3G devices. The Xda Zinc and O2 Graphite combine the latest communications technology with some serious processing power to run all your work and lifestyle applications, the company is quoted to have said.

The Xda Zinc runs on the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 platform, and is equipped with an Intel Xscale PXA 270 processor running at 520MHz and Intel Hermon chip to allow speedy data transfer, and 128MB of onboard memory. Besides 3G capabilities, it features direct push technology for email, Bluetooth SIG v 2.0 and Wireless LAN 802.11b+g, the company said.

The O2 Graphite looks like a candy bar mobile phone—it measures 109.5 x 46.9 x 18 (mm) and weighs just 105g. The O2 Graphite is powered by an Intel Xscale PXA 270 Processor at 416MHz and Intel Hermon chip for quick 3G data processing; comes with 128MB Flash ROM memory; and operates on the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform with Messaging and Security Feature Pack, direct push technology, and the latest editions of Microsoft Office programs for Windows Mobile (including Outlook, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger), the company added.
