O2
XM

The O2 XM was a device engineered by Cambridge-based TTPCom in collaboration with Intel. Intel had developed a mobile platform called Manitoba which was based on its XScale processors which had previously been used in PDAs and smartphones. Manitoba had been developed in conjunction with French mobile phone operator, Orange, but the platform ended up in this phone from UK carrier O2. The O2 XM was a GSM/ GPRS phone positioned as a “dedicated music device”. It has buttons to control music playback. It also featured a 1.3-megapixel camera and offered a pair of pair of 3D Java games - Basketball and Boat Wars. The phone also came with a 2.5mm-to-3.5mm jack adaptor cable, so users could plug in their own headphones. At launch it cost £180 (US$240). The device in the Mobile Phone Museum collection is a rare prototype donated by Sagem device collector Ondřej Novák.
