O2 Aims New XDA Flint At Education Sector

O2 has launched a wireless handheld aimed specifically at the education sector, which it said can be used by students to read electronic books and complete assignments while out on field trips.

The XDA Flint has quad-band voice support, and HSDPA and Wi-Fi for data connections. It is "perfect for students and teachers who need to stay in the loop while on the move or away from their learning environment", according to O2 business sales director Ben Dowd.



O2 said that education is a key sector for its corporate business, and that the new device provides the ideal platform to access, store and transfer classwork, homework and study via a number of channels.

Pricing for the XDA Flint starts at £447, but this will vary depending on the volume of units bought, the airtime contract and the level of IT support required.
