Those who do not require a full-fledged powerhouse mobile workstation like the Xda Zinc can still enjoy 3G technology in a more familiar setting. The O2 Graphite looks like a candy bar mobile phone and measures 109.5 x 46.9 x 18 mm only at a weight of 105g. The O2 Graphite is powered by an Intel Xscale PXA 270 Processor at 416 MHz and Intel Hermon chip for quick 3G data processing; comes with 128 MB Flash ROM memory and operates on the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform with Messaging and Security Feature Pack, direct push technology, and the latest editions of Microsoft Office programs for Windows Mobile including Outlook, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger.
Match these productivity features with connectivity options like Wireless LAN 802.11b/g and Bluetooth SIG v 2.0, and you have a device that can really help you upkeep productivity during work days.

The O2 Graphite features a 2.2-inch 65k-colour TFT-LCD screen as well as a 2.0 megapixel camera with strobe flash which also allows you to capture photo-quality moments, with a second camera on the front for video calling.

Mark Billington, CEO of O2 Asia Pacific, says, "Technology is complicated, but your life shouldn't be. O2 devices are built not just for style but also for performance, and of course, ease-of-use."

"The O2 Graphite is defining a whole new category of 3G phones in our portfolio. The O2 Graphite will appeal to customers who prefer a more familiar mobile phone setting but enjoy the efficiency and features of a Smartphone. We pair the Xda Graphite with 3G capabilities, so it can experience a smoother web-browsing experience and join the 3G revolution and all the benefits that brings. It's all about broadening choices and new experiences for our customers," he added.

The O2 Graphite will retail at S$ 798 (US$ 520/400 Euro) inclusive of GST and a one-year local warranty at early February 2007 at all SingTel, M1 and StarHub outlets, authorized distributors and retail channels.
