O2’S XDA Atom has a new sibling. Called the XDA Atom Exec, the device is much like the regular Atom, except it comes with a new matte “gun metal” finish, more memory and a more powerful processor.

The new Atom Exec runs on a 520MHz Intel XScale processor (up from 416MHz on the Atom) and has 192MB memory (compared with just 128MB on the Atom).

The Atom Exec also incorporates the latest update to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, which enables push-e-mail with mail servers running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP2. This allows you to receive e-mail on the device as soon as it is sent to the mail server.

Otherwise, the Atom Exec has all the same features as the Atom – the relatively small form factor, 2.7in 262,000-colour TFT LCD screen, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth v1.2, triband GSM with GPRS/EDGE connectivity, integrated FM Radio and a 2-megapixel digital camera.

The O2 XDA Atom Exec will be available at the end of this month at recommended retail price of RM2,988 Specifications
