Something from a forum that reviewed an XDA IIs:
 

Yes….To the few that have been giving the thumbs down to this phone because of the BT problems, the patch is out and fixes those issues. All phones, computers, pocket pc’s, palm’s, etc….have problems when they first come out. If you buy a device when it first hits the market you must understand that there will be problems and that you need to relax and update as the patches come out. Don’t knock this device! It’s abosolutely great. I surf on the train to and from work, get my corporate email, place phone calls (to whoever said the call quality sucked, simply not true for my phone), play games, and listen to my music. I couldn’t be happier!

My advice to all potential buyers for this and any other PPC, “You must be willing to tinker, reload, and reboot”. What that means is that this device while it is a phone, isn’t just a phone. So if you have problems loading software on your home computer or fixing your home computer, then I suggest you buy a Samsung phone and learn to install ringtones. It’s not meant for the technically challanged.
 

Ayus.
 
Hahaha. I am so effing excited. I might just have a new XDA by Monday if all the outer forces would allow it. I might just get an XDA IIs instead of a Mini s, because the latter overalled 7.7 at CNET and an XDA IIs totalled an 8. Yes, I actually value CNET’s opinions, and I didn’t like the idea when they said the Mini s had a problem switching over to phone mode before you can make a call. Besides, as much as I like the design, I’m not sure I’m ready for an NGAGE type of phone which won’t allow me to text using just one hand. It’s already bad enough that these XDAs are hefty.
 
 
Anyhow, I won’t be making any move to buy it though up until I have finally explored all the options by surfing on forums when I get home. Company’s banning forums, so I can’t get a decent answer as to how far the XDA can extend its capabilities. I’m trying not to doubt that at this point because after all, a Microsoft Mobile OS can allow only a few quirks here and there. But as long as we have crackers out there and patches and upgrades, I am so perfectly fine.
 
I just hope it doesn’t crash on me. Harhar.
