xdaII and xdaIIs

[jamesodonoghue]

Where can we find out more about xdaIIs ?. My problem with xdaII is poor reception and tinny sound, particularly on handsfree compared to Nokia's excellent but brik heavy Communicator

I have found no difference in reception between XDAII and XDAIIs. To be honest, I haven't noticed that the XDA was any worse than any other dedicated mobile, and I have had a few. The only really bad news is when you use an aluminium case, that really knocks a bar of the signal strength.
The Speaker in the IIs seems about the same as the II, and the nice white screen of the XDA II is now a pale yellow in the IIs. Putting them side by side it is obvious.
If you can, wait until HTC fix up the Bluetooth stack before buying. Version 3500 is promising, but still no better than the later versions of the Microsoft stack in the XDAII.
Happy Christmas.
