O2 XDA Exec: The big PDA with even bigger features!

Giant killers beware. The O2 XDA Exec is here and with the features it packs, this is one giant that will be hard to fell. Considered to be the holy grail by many an XDA user, the Exec is truly one device that seems to have it all. It's definitely too big to pocket but it's also a lot smaller than a notebook. And with the out-of-the-box features it has, this may well be the device which could see laptops being left on the desktop. One thing I must stress is the VGA screen. If you have ever worked on a PDA with a VGA screen, you'll know that screen quality is on a different level especially on a 3.9 inch screen. If Windows Mobile 5.0 is able to capitalise on the VGA with a true to scale VGA resolution, the screen real estate would be doubled and applications such as spreadsheets would pack a bigger punch in terms of ease of use and productivity.

The Exec verges on the line between Pocket PC and ultra portable computer so if you don't mind carrying this around, this could well be worth the extra features with the trade off in size. Though holding this to your head may seem a bit "analog mobile phone circa 1990", it's nothing a decent bluetooth headset can't fix.
