More deets on O2's Xda Stealth

Perhaps we failed to adequately emphasize one key feature of the Gigabyte-sourced Xda Stealth when we outed its FCC filing yesterday: its diminutive size. At 110 x 53 x 22.5mm, it bests the HTC Wizard in all but length (where it clocks in just 2 millimeters longer), putting it nearly in dumbphone territory. Granted, the Stealth lacks a full keyboard, but everything's put into better perspective when remembering that it manages to stuff Pocket PC Phone Edition power (and specs to match) into a package on par with some Smartphones on the market. Though there's no 3G radio aboard the handset, we take solace in its 802.11g support; in fact, the only thing raining on our parade is the triband GSM support, which leaves parts of the world unhappy pretty much any way you slice it -- let this be a lesson to Gigabyte that they've got some American sales waiting in the wings as soon as they want to tack GSM 850 onto this thing.

Update: MTekk reports that the Stealth will be finding its way to Australia post haste, officially launching before the end of the month for around $940 Australian ($707 US).

Looks quite sexy, although the speaker at the top could have a better design. I don't mind not having 3G; in fact, I have never used the 3G features on my Vodafone V1640

I would lose the pen then the phone would disappear and the pen would reappear.
That is how it goes in my house

Been Using O2 Stealth for a Month+. 3 times Stealth replacement due to faulty hardware(Wifi faulty, Phone Mic faulty) Now waiting for the Rom Upgrade by O2, Mediaplus, Smsname, etc.
Very Handy, Easy to dial numbers while driving, Style, Unique looks. I don't need 3G not useful to me.

I'm using HP IPAQ 6818 before using O2 Stealth. HP seems to have better service in terms of service which provide software download for user via website.
