I have the O2 XDA2 phone. It is brick-like but you can expect that because of it's current functionality! I bought it in singapore a few weeks ago.

The cool thing about it is when you're on a call and you want to make a note you can use the headset, click "notes" and it automatically fills info about the call, time, caller, number and then you just fill in the details. Pretty nifty... You can also save your MP3s and use it as an mp3 player or to play movies and to store photos, it's a lot better than my old Tungsten T3, but there are still things i prefer about the T3 to the XDA2!

It also synchronises easily with FreeBSD / OpenBSD... Haven't tried it with linux but i assume it will be similar.

You can even have your favourite picture of elisha cuthbert as your background in the "today window" (a bit like a desktop background)!

I'm Done selling :-)
