O2 XDAII/iPAQ 2210?
Any one got one of these little gadgets?
I am looking at getting either an iPAQ 2210 or one of the above but can't decide which???
My boss just got an XDAII and must say it's a nice bit of kit with built in camera, video etc etc.
O2 currently doing a special offer on the XDAII for £199 inc VAT and the iPAQ is £250. Only thing that is putting me off the XDAII is that it's a phone as well so I would have to sign a contract for another mobile phone tariff but I already have an Orange tariff that I get 50mins a day on.
So anyone got some comments to help me out on any of the above?

I have an XDA2
Look at the "special offer" & check the monthly tariff. You would be able to change tariff to a lesser one after a couple of months.
I can't help on what you'd want to do re changing operators etc, but you can unlock the XDA2 now
Personally I like it, but I have very specific reasons for wanting one.

If I didn't already have a mobile phone on a contract then I would get the XDAII.
I really need to keep the orange contract as I get 50mins a day, so can call the girl friend each day.
Think my boss said the cheapest tariff on O2 for that is £16 per month but don’t really want to pay another phone bill each month but I do prefer the XDAII over the iPAQ.
Ho hum………..decisions decisions.

Boxerflat4 -
They don't have the special offer on their web site as I said exactly the same thing to my boss after he got his!
You have to go in store to get it for £199 inc VAT or phone your local store etc. Normally things are cheaper via the net than in store but not this time
They are a great little gadget but i'm swaying towards the iPAQ as I don't really want another phone contract.
Good luck!!

I think its like anything m8. I've had my XDA2 since end of October & not a problem. Likewise, had an XDA1 with about 9 months daily use (a lot as a test mule) and again, not a problem.
Although against that, I have issued XDAs to people & have them come back a few days later shagged - but that *could* be user related.
Edit
Not saying they're by any means indestructable either!
Does the 2210 come with that nice protective plastic sleeve? My 3970 was as new after quite a while because it wore it 24/7 whereas (as standard) the XDA has a leatherette sleeve that is not as good & often needs removing to do some functions (syncing and things like car kits). That wouldn't help.
