There is no doubt about the importance O2 puts on screen size. The 3.6 inch screen looks pretty large when you have gotten used to viewing those minute 2.7 or 2.8 inch screens. The controls are pretty simple and traditional. The Xda Flame is designed for those who want to have everything in their pocket.
The phone comes equipped with a vibrant 640x480 pixel touchscreen and a 2GB on-board memory that allows one to save almost anything from photos and videos to music in the phone. It also features a built-in FM radio.
Another notable feature is its capability connect to a TV or projector for viewing slide-show presentations or video. The built-in graphics chip helps a lot and allows playing of videos clearly on the device as well as on the TV set. The Xda Flame also comes with USB host capabilities.
The tricky bit is the Xda Flame's retail price of Rs 39,990 (one-year local warranty). The battery life performance, although not really stellar, was sufficient to complete over 24 hours of basic PDA and phone use.
If you frequently surf the internet using any of its wireless features or enjoy the multimedia capabilities of this device in your spare time, in addition to the standard voice calls and SMS, it would be best to invest in a car-charger, as well as a spare battery.
