The 2.0 mega pixel camera produces print worthy snaps and came out with the best results that we have seen from a windows Mobile device.
The keypad lacks tactile feel to it. Pressing a key once results in multiple key strokes.
The onboard speaker is barely audible and you might need to use a hearing aid to listen to what’s playing.
A battery that ‘never says die’ the XDA Zinc is O2’s first touch screen device with a sliding QWERTY keypad.
The phone’s performance is below that expected from one of the fastest processor in Windows Mobile devices – the Intel PXA 270 running at 520 MHz. It hung often. We charged with it with the USB port of our laptop for 30 minutes everyday and that kept it running for the entire day.
If 3G is not a priority, we would suggest the Do pod C800 which is sleeker. Another option is the I-mate Jas Jam with its jog dial functionality apart from the sliding QWERTY keypad.
