Silicon Republic reviews the O2 Xda Exec, they rated the phone 4/5 and write:
“Gadget fans will drool over the swivelling LCD that does a neat 180 degree turn to transform itself from a tiny tablet PC into a tiny laptop. Folded flat for phone use it’s reminiscent of its predecessors, dominated by the 3.6-inch touchscreen which becomes the keypad when you want to make a call. Pull up and twist the screen, however, and it takes on a very different appearance. The full Qwerty keyboard is revealed on a mobile device that makes the best case yet for leaving your laptop at home.”

CNET reviews the O2 Xda Exec, they rated the phone 9.3/10 and write:
“Application performance is extremely satisfying. We found that programs loaded virtually instantly, even when multiple applications were running at the same time. We were also very impressed with the device’s multimedia playback capabilities; video played smoothly and audio files were crisp and clear….The good:Small, lightweight design, Push e-mail capabilities, Pleasing performance, Plethora of connectivity options, Great multimedia features, Matte finish. The bad:Lack of keyboard makes heavy data entry a chore, Shots taken with the integrated camera are grainy, No 3G support, Not a huge improvement over the original Atom”
