While I admit the phone does have some readaiblity problems in the sun. I have had no other negative issues with it. I have not had the phone hang or reset since I got it out of the box. My other collegues have had a few issues but most of these appear to be when upgrading the software and installing "added extras"

I find that it syncs fine with outlook and keeps me from forgetting my appointments and wit hthe wireless I can happily surf the net wherever there is an access point available.

While it takes a little bit to get used to it once you do I would never go back to a regular phone.

High level user of smart-phones. Had o2 atom for 2 weeks , returned faulty out of box...took 4 weeks to repair (MPS in australia is o2 support...terrible)
Got phone back. Exact same problems! 1)Handsfree function gives other side of call buzz buzz static. 2) Headphones supplied or 3rd party give other party echo. 3) annoying high pitched buzz from LCD nect to your ear on all calls. Functions look promising but as per other posts, slow and buggy. Reg fixes increase speed...but hardly something a normal user should have to do. Careful...o2 supplied task manager type programs are terribly buggy and slow phone down. Strange issues too...like ActiveSync starting by itself and kicking off your GPRS. thanks for the big phone bill!!!

This phone looks great and promises everything I want. Trouble it it doesn't deliver. PDAs are still miles behind Sony and Nokia, the software isnt integrated, its slow, difficult to configure, people cant hear me and I cant hear them, reception is poor, the telephony / windows interface is clunky. We all want the same thing, Windows and phone on the same platform, but I havent found a product that is reliable and does what it says on the packet!

I know the company I work for does them, but Im not an ad, so Im not gonna tell you who they are :P

Seriously though, it looks the goods and has all the features you could want.

Im getting one myself actually.

(Just for those who want to know, Optus companies do have them, the i-mate uses the same phone just rebranded as its designed by HTC...)

Great pocket PC,software stable , rarely had to restart , handwriting recognition is great,WI-FI is brilliant ,extremely fast browsing and downloading,Battery life is convenient if you lower the display brightness , sound is really good .Camera not bad at all . the display is very nice with real high resolution ,But I can't find an option to wrap the web page to the display size

No ROM update to fix crashing problem. Constantly have to reset phone like 30 times a day because it hangs. It already gas the 07-21 ROM update version but problem persists. I like this phone very much but unless the problem can be fixed, it is absolutely useless. Strongly NOT recommemded.

Does this PDA support playing music over bluetooth? I bought a nokia bluetooth headset and it doesnt play from the headset whereas my nokia 9500 can play from the same headset.

No anti-virus SW... Not that I know off. If you like touch screen and see this as an 'alternative' to a very very compact Windows device, well and fine. If you are expecting ease of use ... well, ok if you have love Windows OS. The camera rated at 2Mp is a crap. Switching is on is not instantaneous. Take a shot is worst. You subject would have been out of view by the time you shutter 'click' sounded. Quality is bad. You would need plenty of image editing if you are expecting to print them. Good enough for shots meant for scrap book or school projects.

Worse phone ever. Bought it in May 2006 and keep regretting. U can use MP3 as ringtone. U need to convert MP3 to WMA which has bigger file size. This is only a trivial problem when u compare to other headaches.

The camera is horibly slow. Press the shutter release and the icon spin for a good 5 second before it clicks. Out in the sun the screen is obliterated so u can hardly see what you are shooting. Indoor photos are horrible.

The phone hangs and well.. hang at the most crucial moment - when I was driving and trying to set it to 'speaker phone' mode. Pressing the left-green-phone button for more than 3 seconds and it resets!!! Rebooting and rebooting. Each time I have to enter the PIN number (and the origanizer password as well).

Try viewing photos? Have yet to find a way to scroll between previous-next photos. Wonder why have buttons when you can program them to do simple tasks. O2.. Oh Oh...
