O2 XDA Ignito User Reviews

I owned one of these awful phones for a year and a half and I can safely say it was the worst, most badly designed phone I have had.

The on/off button is also the screen lock/unlock button. It is located at the top of the device so any compression in your pocket will activate the screen or turn it off or on. The phone once it has become active in your pocket will then call someone. The boot up sequence is painful and incredibly slow, presenting you with glitchy partially functional keypads to unlock the device until it sputters into life. The screen is microscopic, fiddly and inaccurate around the edges.

The file system, memory, image and sound functionality are frankly pathetic. Files can be located with the file viewer but not previewed, the search for file function will find the file but will not allow you to manipulate it so you have to take note of the path and get there from the file viewer.

The album will not allow you to send pictures via bluetooth. To assign a ring tone to a caller, you can select only from the dreadful list of onboard tunes unless you are crafty and can locate the folder in the O/S file system and insert your own ring. I was unable to do this for the message noise. The ring itself is absurdly weak. The battery life is comically short and the memory cannot be expanded.

Although this is a well made feature packed phone there are a few features on it that could be improved.

The main one being that the battery life is awful especially if you use the internet or GPS. The GPS is very slow to pick up a signal but is good when it does.

The windows mobile 6.1 operating system is quick and sleek and gives you the ability to add different applications straight from the PC. Although I like this handset I probably wouldn't buy another one.

I've been using the Ignito for 6 months now and it's proved to be a great little piece of kit. It was the inital size that got me, so much stuff crammed into such a tiny phone!

Great for e-mails or internet use and , but texting takes a bit of getting used to using the stylus and on screen keyboard. Battery could do with a better life span for such an action packed phone, I bought a spare and carry it around just in case!

I definately will look to getting another XDA when I get bored of this one, but I'm still finding new features on this one just now! (I just hope they improve the camera to go with all the other excellent features).
