"O2, the leading provider of premium mobile data devices in Asia Pacific, announced at Gitex 2006 today its intention to launch a new range of stylish and innovative 3G products into the Middle East market in Q1 2007."
"O2's momentum will continue in 2007 with the launch of at least 8 more products, starting with their latest 3G range of devices - Xda Zinc, O2 Graphite and Xda Flame in Q1 2007. The Xda Zinc, built for the communication enthusiast, offers enhanced efficiency and ease of messaging with a slide-out Qwerty keyboard, 520MHz Intel processor, built-in Wireless LAN, and unique applications like O2 Phone Plus and O2 Message Plus to make communications a breeze.
The O2 Graphite looks just like a regular mobile phone, but under its deceptively modest hood sits a really hot engine. Users can enjoy video telephony and web-browsing capabilities on this 3G Smartphone. A 2.0 mega pixel camera, Wireless LAN and Direct Push Email technology ensures customers can work and play with ease and simplicity.
The Xda Flame encapsulates everything the O2 brand stands for - innovation and performance in a sleek, beautiful, desirable package. The Xda Flame breaks technology barriers by being the first dual processor PDA-phone, incorporating the powerful NVIDIA GoForce GPU for sublime screen graphics, movie playback, photo viewing, and gaming performance, on top of a 520MHz Intel processor chip. A large 3.6' VGA touchscreen and a host of multimedia features ensure that customers stay productive and are entertained while on the go."Source.
Things look great for O2. BTW- Remember this thread!
O2 uses Quanta as an ODM which means that Quanta will not get an opportunity to sell its rebranded products in the Middle-East and Asia. If things go good for them, they probably might go the same route as HTC!
