Most of us are familiar with the term “road warrior” — those poor souls who do business outside the brick and mortar 9 to 5 environment. Over the past few years many of us have joined the road warrior legions and it can be unpleasant. Often we find that through no fault of our own, our gear is inadequate to help us conquer the challenges before us. That leaves us “road weary,” we’re so overwhelmed with the demands of the business environment, that having a fulfilling personal life seems a distant dream.
But perhaps — and not a moment too soon — help has arrived. O2’s Xda Atom Life is a PDA-phone targeting the “life warrior,” someone who lives life to the maximum and who places a premium on not only productivity but also creativity.
“Many customers across the region still regard the PDA-phone as a business tool,” said Mark Billington, CEO of O2 Asia Pacific and Middle East. “With the Xda Atom Life (we) really open up the converged device market to more customers by demonstrating that PDA-phones can manage your life on all fronts — seamlessly fusing work and play; and meeting your needs, be they connectivity, productivity or creativity, in one compact unit.”
Clad in a suit of shiny black armor and accented by a chrome band, the Xda Atom Life, weighs in at only 145 grams. HSDPA and 3.5G-enabled, the Xda Atom Life allows you to make video calls or download the latest podcasts. Built-in Bluetooth and Wireless LAN ensure that you will have a myriad of connectivity options to choose from so you can harness the convenience of wireless networks everywhere. The device is loaded with 1GB of onboard memory.
The Xda Atom Life comes with an Intel XScale PXA 270 processor that clocks in at 624MHz, making it the fastest PDA-phone available on the Windows Mobile platform and giving you top performance all the time. That lets you work fast, so you have more time to play.
You can easily stay connected to your Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile information everywhere you go and enjoy better device data protection with Microsoft’s Messaging and Security Feature Pack. Familiar applications such as Calendar, Contacts and Inbox are kept up-to-date using ActiveSync and Direct Push Technology for e-mail. With more than 25 software applications bundled, many developed by O2 exclusively (including O2 Connect, O2 SMS Plus and O2 Phone Plus), the device takes care of your every work and lifestyle need. The Xda Atom Life retails at 3,399 dirhams including one-year local warranty.
