The Xda IIi offers businesses tri-band functionality, and therefore may be used worldwide, and also offers Bluetooth and optional wireless LAN capability for seamless connectivity.

Customers can access a range of business services and applications, including Microsoft Exchange Server which offer the ability to access corporate email on the move.

O2 is a leading provider of mobile services to consumers and businesses in the UK. It is the leader in non-voice services, including text, media messaging, games, music and video, as well as always on data connections via GPRS, 3G and WLAN. Each month O2's nearly 13.9 million customers send more than three quarters of a billion text messages. O2 (UK) is a subsidiary of mmo2 plc which also owns O2 branded mobile operators in Ireland and Germany as well as the O2 Airwave emergency services network in the UK.

Building on the popularity of the highly acclaimed Xda II series, O2 today announced that it is adding to its Xda portfolio with the launch of the new Xda IIi. Based on the Windows Mobile 2003 platform, the integrated pda and mobile phone device features the latest cutting edge technology and contemporary design, to offer faster connections on the move.

Following the hugely successful Xda II, the Xda IIi offers an advanced way of working in 2005. Its Intel PXA272 processor, which runs up to 520MHz, makes it faster than the Xda II, whilst the latest Windows Mobile 2003 second edition software enables landscape working, making it the ideal tool for busy people on the move.

In addition the Xda IIi's improved 1.3 mega pixel camera means users can take high quality pictures of friends and family or capture images for use at any time, wherever they may be.

Together with integrated Wireless LAN capability, users can browse the Internet, access emails and download data such as music, ringtones, games, news services and other premium content whilst on the move and at much faster speeds.

The new device is available from £179.99 (dependent on tariff and subject to availability) for pay monthly contract customers and is available from today in UK O2 stores, direct and indirect channels, as well as other leading distributors.
