o2 XDA-Stealth Cell Phone
In-Depth Review The o2 Stealth is one of the first Windows Mobile Pocket PC to have a vertical slider with a numeric key pad. Similar designs like the HTC Wizard, T-Mobile MDA, and the Cingular 8525 are all pocket PC’s with slide out keyboards but are missing the numeric keypad. When you have a Pocket PC there are times that you simply wish to dial a number not by pulling out your stylus or tap the display with you fingers. Since HTC is not manufacturing phones for o2 anymore, other companies are taking their place. The o2 Stealth is made by Gigabyte Communications from Taiwan who have been bringing many new Windows Mobile devices to the market as of late. How is the o2 Stealth overall? Does it compete with other HTC devices released by o2? Read on to find out!! Before the o2 stealth, the only Windows mobile devices that had a numeric keypad were Smartphones. The o2 stealth is the first Pocket PC to introduce a vertical slide out numeric keypad. The keypad has big buttons which makes it easy to dial with.
The Stealth has a jog dial on the left hand side but is not like the one found on Blackberries. The jog dial is for up/down volume control and when pushed in can launch an application. On top of the jog dial is the camera button. When held down the camera application is initiated, and when pressed again takes a picture or starts filming.
On the right hand side of the stealth there is the mini SD slot, as well as a headphone port. Located on the bottom of the phone is the mini USB port which is used to charge the phone and transfer files to and from your PC. A good feature to note is that all the three slots have a rubber cover on them which prevents dust from getting in when not in use. This is one feature that HTC failed to include in their previous o2 phones.
The battery is also the back cover, and when removed it reveals the SIM card slot. Located on top of the battery are the camera/ flash and the speaker. On top of the phone there is the power button and beside it are the phone’s LED status lights. When the phone is charging the light is red and when the charge is complete the light turns green. When you have Bluetooth switched on there is a blue light which flashes. Similarily with Wi-Fi turned on there is an orange LED which flashes.

You can add call forwarding, last call info, sound profiles,... The Stealth is a solid phone and the slider is very durable. The slider is spring action so it can easily open/close like any slider phone. Since the phone is a Pocket PC you have to be a lot more careful than you would be with other phones.
