12th March - O2 UK announced the launch of the O2 Xda Atmos, the latest addition to the successful Xda smartphone range. This sleek and compact device combines the standard mobile keypad with a full slide out QWERTY keyboard, making the Xda Atmos the perfect choice for those who prefer the look and feel of a traditional handset but who also require the functional capabilities of a PDA.

O2’s Xda Atmos is powered by Windows Mobile® 6.0, a mobile platform that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Exchange – meaning that customers don’t need any additional hardware or software to deliver real time email securely to their Smartphone. The O2 Xda Atmos captures the familiar look and feel of Microsoft Windows into a sleek, portable device. With GPRS, EDGE, 3G, WiFi, HSDPA and Quad-Band GSM network capabilities, it also offers customers the best choice of high speed network wherever they are*.

O2’s Xda Atmos also supports Microsoft Direct Push Email, a key business email solution that provides customers with real time access to inbox, calendar, contacts and tasks on the move. In addition, the Xda Atmos includes Microsoft Office tools enabling users to open, edit and send Microsoft Office Excel Mobile, Word Mobile and view PowerPoint Mobile documents.

Ben Dowd, Business Sales Director, O2 UK, said ”The O2 Xda range goes from strength to strength with the new Xda Atmos. It is ideal for business users who require the familiarity of Windows on the move in a sleek and powerful device.”

O2 Xda Atmos will be on sale at a range of prices subject to tariff in an exclusive Matt Black colour, and is available now through O2 direct and indirect business and corporate sales and at the business online shop at www.o2.co.uk.
