“O2 Graphite is one of the models prepared by the operator O2 for the beginning of 2007. Some time ago it was approved by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Now there appeared a special section devoted to the product at O2 Asia site.This is quite an advanced smartphone powered by Intel XScale PXA 270 416 MHz, 64 MB RAM and 128 MB flash ROM. It is designed for 3G UMTS networks and support tri-band GSM and GPRS (no EDGE), Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) and Bluetooth.In addition to the main 2-megapixel camera there is a frontal VGA-camera for video telephony. Its display features a 2.2” diagonal, QVGA (240×320 pixels) resolution. The smartphone is powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition. Measuring 109.5×46.9×18 mm it weighs 105 g.” via mobile-review.com

“The lack of a large external protrusion doesn’t significantly decrease signal performance however, at least as compared to most Wi-Fi devices with internal antennas. It does not, of course, compare too favorably to integrated stub antennas and cards with larger external antennas, such as my Symbol CF card. You do pay some price for size.Power usage is about typical for a modern Wi-Fi device, perhaps a bit better. The Just Mobile card does an impressive amount of power saving while idle, down to the point where you’d barely even notice it was there, but the more you use it, the faster your battery will drain.Due to limitations of current handheld hardware, even a card with support for the much faster 802.11g wireless networking is unlikely to provide a significant increase in performance over an 802.11b card. What you do get out of the added support is the ability to connect to 802.11g-only networks. Some networks lock out 802.11b devices due to concerns over performance issues, but a G-capable card enables you to get online with any Wi-Fi net, without even the minor performance hit of using the B/G “mixed mode” common to most APs. You’re also equipped for the latest security protocols; not just WEP, but also WPA and WPA2. Slightly more exotic setups such as LEAP may require third-party software.” Read more here:
