The O2 XM has some good features however the phone is not the best. First of all texting is not easy as you have to use the number 1 key to get a space.
The O2 XM occasionally crashes when taking pictures in mega pixel format, the phone can only store about 15 photos in mega pixel (high quality) and a few extra in medium. I don’t think you can use the memory stick to store anything other than music which is no good atall.
Photos in general look reasonably good on the PC in mega pixel, however you can’t do much editing on the phone.
The small screen at the front of the phone is not very clear this is another bad point. The main screen only looks like a 65k in my opinion, however is still clear.
The phone has poor connectivity however data cable transfer is faster than any other phone I have owned, and the menu system is also very fast.
Sound quality of the MP3 Player is pretty good and loud. When the ear phones are in the quality is also good.
In general the phone is ok.

You cannot the memory card read by the computer with the data cable. You have to trasnfer the files from the phone to the card one by one or buy a memory card reader.
Hope that helps

I've had the phone for a while and have the same problem as Jake and Julie. I ended up just putting the card in a card reader and doing it that way. Anybody know if spare batteries are available for the xm yet? Thanks

I'm having the same problem as Jake - I'm connecting the phone via the USB in order to download MP3's but the computer will only read the phones memory & not the memory card. Can anyone tell me how to access please. Thanks, Julie

Battery lifes a little short, main benefit is its easy to connect to pc and upload mp3's. Takes sd cards unlike other phones that have fixed memory size. Simple interface - easy to use. Mp3 player a little simple, playlist by artist/file name doesnt seem to work very well. Also little external arial can sit uncomfortably in your pocket!

Words can be added to the dictionary by writing them in abc mode and then switching back to T9 mode. The word is now added...

Hi,
With regard to compressing the images, the 1.3mp setting is best for use other than on the phone, while the wallpaper setting matches the phone screen resolution so gives the best results on the screen.
Ideal is to use the 1.3MP setting, xfer them to the pc to get the decent pics on your hard drive then resize copies of them to 176x220 on your PC and send them back to the phone where they will look excellent.
In addition to the outer camera there is a way to forward tracks when using the mp3 with the clam closed...can't remember exactly what to do, think it's hold down the play button?
I agree that the Nokia 6230i is a better phone, but where can I get one for £69.99? Nokia is at least £170 new, and if I was spending that much I'd go for the SE K750i or Nokia 6680 at £200.
For £70 the only thing that is similar spec (excl mem card & mp3) is the Siemens SF65.

just bought the XM: pleased with it, but i have a few questions that other owners might be able to help me with -
1. how do you delete a txt message copied to the sim card?
2. does the phone have a key lock function? if so how do u turn it on?
3. can u add to the predictive txt dictionary?
4. does compressing images affect their quality?
cheers.

Shane... the lady in the O2 shop showed me that function. Interesting and different I guess. The XM has some nice little touches. Its the speed of the menu's that I like. Why does the Intel chip make such a difference?

If you hold down the play/pause button while the phones closed it used the front mini screen as the view finder for the camera i am saying this cause its not in the insstructions.

I would not recomend getting this phone as it is poo. Look up the details on this phone then look at a nokia 6230i. Its ok if you just want to make some phone calls but if you want a good phone for different things look else where.

Hi,
Some O2 shops are advertising this at £129.99 whilst others have it at £99.99.
To get it for £99.99, they can either price match an O2 store where it is £99.99 or if you mention that there was an August Bank Holiday offer at £99.99, they can type in a code which will still validate the bank holiday offer.
I got it for £69.99 even though the in store price was £129.99 by using the bank holiday code and trading in a five year old non working handset to get £30 trade in.
Phone has a few little quirks, but overall is excellent.

If you walk into an o2 shop and tell them you don't want the DVD player they will sell you the phone for £129.99
That's what I did........... and the phone is good.
