O2 Asia is dead, long live MWG

First, the bad news: the rumors have turned out be true, O2's pulling out of its Southeast Asian biz. Now the good: rising from the ashes is a new operation, MWG, that looks ready and willing to carry on with O2 Asia's product lineup. In fact, MWG's website says that they've outright inherited O2 Asia's entire management team, so really, it's the same company in shiny new clothes. Current offerings include the Xda Atom Life, Xda Flame, and Xda Zinc -- not a bad start, if Windows Mobile is your thing -- and they're promising "an exciting roadmap" through 2008. Best of luck, fellas!

You have to be kidding. Same crap phones no matterr which way you look at it. O2 atom and its derivatives have been a total disaster. search the net and type in eg. o2 atom life then issues, complaints, problems etc. see what i mean ... and see youtube.com and you will find videos there eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF5DMVEAyho I say .. Good riddance and lets start the campaign against MWG to rid the world of atoms! 3 phones this year .. all dead .. Longest one lasted was 4 months. these phones are horrible.
