Compare O2 XDA Zest Deals & Price Comparison

The O2 XDA Zest is a new budget PDA from O2 aimed at Pay as you Go users as well as on contract. The XDA Zest is made by Asus which is a departure from the normal HTC re-branded devices.

The O2 XDA Zest is O2's first PDA designed and targeted for the Pay as you Go market although you can buy it on contract too. Despite being low cost to buy on PAYG - around £200 - it still features an array of useful features and bundled software.

Unlike other O2 XDA PDA's the O2 XDA Zest is made by Asus (of Eee PC fame) rather than HTC so the device is lacking in some of the slick styling and TouchFlo 3D interface that is available on these devices but never the less it is functional and does the job.

Key features include HSDPA 3G internet download speeds, WiFi, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a 2.8" high resolution screen with a resolution of 480x640, a 3 mega pixel camera and a front mounted camera for video calls and MicroSD expandable memory. The XDA Zest also includes a built in SiRF star III powered GPS receiver and a trial version of CoPilot 7 sat nav software.
