Conclusion
The Stealth is a solid phone and the
slider is very durable. The slider is spring action so it can easily open/close like any slider phone. Since the phone is a Pocket PC you have to be a lot more careful than you would be with other phones. The screen is very sensitive and can easily break if not cared for, or if the phone is not stored in a case. Overall the phone is durable but you need to be careful and not drop it. The phone has a lot of delicate parts like the processor and when dropped will effect the overall performance of the phone.
What’s in the box? The o2 Stealth comes with a powerful lithium polymer battery, universal AC adaptor, stereo headphones, mini USB cable, software, extra stylus and a warranty card. The phone does not come with a carrying case.
The o2 Stealth does not have the option for “clear storage” in the settings menu. Therefore, to do a hard reset you hold down the Windows and OK buttons simultaneously, and push the stylus into the soft reset button located on the right hand side of the phone. In order to do a hard reset, your battery needs to be over 50 % charged.
The extra applications that o2 has included are great. With the program o2 Phone Plus you can make a list of numbers that you do not want to answer and wish to have blocked. You can also add calling card information which is an amazing feature. If you make long distance calls frequently, you can save your calling card number and pin in this program for future use. You can also store more than one calling card at a time which is useful if you call different parts of the world.
Overall I like the Stealth a lot because it looks like an ordinary slider phone while offering features of Windows Mobile Pocket PC’s. The phone offers a fast processor, excellent battery life, numeric keypad, external memory, Wi-Fi and more. One major downside to the Stealth is the fact that there is no 850 GSM band. The GSM 850 band is used the most in North America so reception is not perfect. It is too bad that this phone is not quad-band.
