Should I buy i-Mate PDA 2k or O2 XDA IIs

[Darren1968]

Hi,

I would like some advice on whether I should buy the i-Mate PDA 2k or the O2 XDA IIs? I've heard the the i-Mate site allows downloads from it, but I like the black of the IIs.

Any feedback appreciated.

then why dont you buy xda IIs and then learn to update roms. you can flash to any rom.. o2,imate,qtek etc.

The devices are identical except in appearance, package contents, price and possibly after-sale support.

I cant comment on support, but I think the O2 one is nicest looking. My XDA IIs came with two styli, one battery, a really crappy leather case thing, and a couple of CDs. One seems standard Pocket PC fare (includes activesync, outlook 2002) but the other has a few mildly useful-sounding programs. I say sounding, since I cant work out how to install them from the disk. The disk has only one item which starts an add/remove prgrams style dialog (for programs already installed), not an actual 'Which of these included programs would you like to install' thing.


I think the Orange M2000 may come with a spare battery... but check that one.
