XDAII now or XDAIIi later?

[Guest tagman338]

Hi, I was going to start a new contract on o2 the other day with an XDAII but i then read a magazine that said that a new XDA device is shortly coming out the XDA IIi (not the one with the keyboard).

What I wanted to ask was, is the IIi going to replace the II? and have you any idea what the price difference would be?

I can get the XDAII for £99 at the moment and wont really want to spend over £150-200 ish when the new IIi comes out.

So do you think the IIi will be much more expensive?

Thanks, Mat

The XDA IIi is a new model designed to supplement the current XDA IIs. Its essentially the same except that it has a better (allegedly) camera and a 624Mhz processor instead of the 400Mhz version found in either the XDA II or the XDA IIs.

Its only a worthy choice if you need the extra processing power or better camera, otherwise the XDA IIs is a very good buy at the moment. I wouldnt go with the XDA II anymore, its old hat now.
