MY JOURNEY WITH THE O2 FLAME
2-2 INSIDE THE FLAME
The O2 Flame is one AWESOME device. It has 2 processors an Intel XScale PXA 270 Processor running at 520MHz for primary functions, and then an additional dedicated graphics processor, the NVIDIA GoForce 5500. O2 claims the Flame is the world’s first dual processor PDA-phone.
There is a hefty 2GB of onboard storage ROM and if you add the microSD card you will have a lot of memory to play with. When O2 included the GoForce 5500 were they trying to turn this PDA phone into a portable game console? I must admit that playing games and watching DVD-quality video on this device gives you unsurpassed user experience especially on its generous radiant 3.6-inch TFT VGA LCD screen. When there are more games that take advantage of the extra memory become available, the Flame will then be called the “PDA VIDEO GAME PHONE”. What a mouthful?
You can’t have total video and gaming experience without good sound output. O2 did not forget that. The Flame high resolution display is supported with SRS WOW HD surround sound to ensure that the visual experience on screen is further enhanced with high quality audio piped through the device’s dual speakers.
The advantage of a TV-out feature makes the Flame your true mobile office. You can conduct presentations via a big screen TV. When you hook up the Flame to a TV or computer screen via its TV-out connector feature you not only can conduct presentations, you will also enjoy watching videos and photos and play games on the larger screen format.
The Flame is a powerful device and its spetacular features fulfil the wishlists of most power users. It is indeed a fast machine. The absence of a keyboard is not an issue as there are a some softwares in the market that can do the job as well. TEKSOFT Finger Touch and SPB Full Screen Keyboard are well suited for the Flame.

Hey bro, I want to buy this phone. Can you tell me where you bought it? What is the price? And how you find it so far?
You can get it from any FMG outlets. The price is a bit stiff at RM3,688. Maybe some bargaining will get you a better deal.
If you want a PDA + PHONE + GAME + VIDEO, the Flame has my recommendation. This is the first PDA phone that has a dual processor.
Basically this is my 1st PDA.
You have one, so what do you think? Worth the price? Some say the battery life is very short. Comment?
The O2 Flame was my dream machine. But its delay caused me to buy the HTC U1000. The unit I am having is a review unit. On whether it is worth the price I list down 3 current models that meet my requirements and specs:
O2 FLAME = RM3,688.00
U1000 = RM3,699.00
HTC TyTN II = RM3,088.00
If you are a fist timer on PDA phones, check these 3 models before your final choice.
I have an O2 XDA Flame, it is a very nice phone, everything working perfectly. I bought my Flame on ebay and it did not come with an AV (TV-OUT) cable, I have looked everywhere on the internet to find this AV cable but no luck. If anyone out there can help me get this AV Cable, it would complete my life with my Flame.
