Recently purchased o2exec for use in Australia, everything worked well for first 2 weeks including a 4Gb SD card, however cameras (front & rear) both now display and capture a crappy green image. I assumed something corrupted the software since both cameras hardware shouldn't fail this way at the same time. I've tried a hard reset hoping to fix problem, even upgraded firmware but still not fixed! any sugestions?

Although when this phone first came out software did run slowly and very buggy, how ever there has been a software upgrade released from o2/Microsoft and this has solved most of the slowness issues from the first software that came with the phone/PDA
Only issue with the new software is that the MMS function no longer works for me.

I've had mine for just under 2 weeks.
and now.. the screen has died.
it only works when rotated around..
it cannot be used in normal keyboard input mode.
love the device apart from that.. just reallly dissapointed its died on me.
calling O2 to see what they can do.

I have a few questions hopefully somebody can answer them. First I have been checking the prices on these exec xda and are they really worth the price? I like the style and design of it the most but after reading some of the comments it seems like it crashes alot and has other problems. I and trying to figure out if I should save up and get this one or should switch to sprint and get the ppc 6700? Is there anywhere I can get it for cheap b/c I went the uk website and they had it for 147.00 GBP and it said pay as you go. I know the converstion is about 1.5 of our money meaning US so it would be something like $300. I would definitely do it and have the service with Tmobile but just making sure I am looking for the best option.... Thanks a lot.

"none of the business related software I use works on it other than basic Excel and Access, admittedly neither did it on the basic model"
What software didn't work on the old handheld that you were expecting to work on the new handheld?? Quark Express? Photoshop?
And are you saying that Microsoft Access works on Windows Mobile?

A replacement for my P910i???
Well... It's a nice PDA, but it's software runs slows and often crashes. Quite big if you have to actually put it to your head without the hands free kit. But hey, it's supposed to be one of the best business phones on the market right now. As much as looks shouldn't matter, they do...
So... I'm waiting for the P990i, but have a look at the review on infosyncwolrd.com. They rated it 95% out of 100%...

Having owned the same XDA1 since they were first released in the UK on O2, I felt I should upgrade to an XDA EXEC if only to have the newest Windows software.
And after six weeks I hate it.
Yes it looks like a mini-laptop but none of the business related software I use works on it other than basic Excel and Access, admittedly neither did it on the basic model but that was half the size.
The delay in picking up calls can frustrate. Its awkward to open and answer the phone, the control buttons are not intuitively placed and the twist round screen feels fragile. It regularly re-boots itself mid-operation or when accepting a call. One is unable to choose to call the sender of an SMS or add them to contacts without using a pen and paper.
The battery life I find impractical for out of office use and often needs recharging midday. It also takes an age to fully recharge from a USB.
As a business tool I would say it looks great but fails to deliver and it's just to big to be a practical phone.
The screen resolution is brilliant but I didn't have an issue with the basic model, plus imported images don't expand to full screen size.
I will go back to my basic model or the XDA 11i.

"Don't like the handset, it's like having a laptop but in a very smaller version."
Like having a laptop, but in a very smaler version? Probably the main reason for my purchase.

"the screen display should be wider"
Which would mean the aspect ratio of the screen would be utterly different. It's bad enough programming for 320x240, 640x480 and those stupid square screens, without considering another totally diffierent ratio.

"i want to know can i increase ram to 1 gb."
You can't. But you can add extra RAM in the form of SD cards, very cheaply. And they go up to 4Gb for decent money.

"The internal ROM should be at least 1GB in size..."
And if it was, battery life would be non-existent.
SD slot's there for a reason.
And SD cards are cheap.
