to ganda,
pahabol, it does not matter if your sim card is prepaid or post paid type, it must be able to make/receive a phone call.. it is good i bought a sharp S01SH, it works perfectly, and the packet rate is 1.33 Mbps.. and my screen is so beautiful.. check that out in the internet sister..

to ganda,
just wondering about your atom life with globe prepaid.. i dont think globe needs some configuration to make your atom life capable of voice call, .. the mere problem of your o2 atom life is not really working, it must be returned to the shop.. i tell you sister, you are being scammed by this dealer.. configuration may not be available on settings like MMS, internet, etc.. but for voice call and SMS it must be working.. to any operator if unit is unlocked..

i bought my xda atom life a week ago and i found out that when a GLOBE PREPAID (PHILIPPINES) sim is in it, it is unable to receive and make calls. Per the dealer whom i 've talked with, the system with GLOBE telecom (re: XDA atom life) is yet to be fixed within the week... I'm so sad to learn about this since I can't fully utilize my xda.

This free update will be available to all current Atom Life users, and will involve either a download from the O2 Web site or a visit to one of its service centers.
The upgrade will change the operating system on the Atom Life from Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition to Windows Mobile 6 (WM6) Professional. One significant improvement in WM6 is the ability to receive and send emails in HTML format.
Available from May 12, the Atom Life will become one of the first commercially-available Windows Mobile products to sport the newer OS. Atom Life handhelds sold in stores from June onwards will also be preloaded with WM6. In comparison, Dopod, which will be acquired by HTC, will be upgrading its selected devices to WM6 in July.
Furthermore, the enhancements in the O2 Atom Life like O2 SMS Plus and O2 MediaPlus have been tested on the new OS, and will still be available on the Atom Life after the upgrade.
In addition, O2 said it is testing WM6 on its upcoming Xda Flame as well, and that the rest of its products to be launched in 2007 will also sport the new OS.
At press time, O2 was not able to confirm if its other handhelds like the Zinc and Graphite would get the WM6 upgrade as well.

This unit is using Qualcomm MSM6280 chipset (Dopod D810 using MSM6275) which have AGPS capability. Not sure whether O2 will release any ROM to activate GPS function, like Dopod D810?

The XDA Atom Life is your everyday PDA with Phone. It runs on WM 5 and stable. It has most of the bells and whistles a Tech Person will need with the exception of GPS.
The PDA is fast thanks to its 624Mhz processor. And has 1G ROM for storage to store your files, video and music. Memory is expandable via the mini-SD card.
The only concern with the unit is Battery Life. It is rated at 150-200 hours standby and 4 hours of talk time (3G around 2 hours). Actual usage on a non-3G networks requires the PDA to be charged everyday. As the unit is relatively new in the market, expect 3rd party vendors to offer an EXTENDED Battery version.
Overall, I am a satisfied user of this PDA. I do hope that O2 will release a ROM Upgrade to WM6.

I've been using the Atom Life for more than a month now and it is the best PDA phone I've used so far. My previous phones have been from Dopod and HP.
The highlights for the Atom Life are its fast processor and its fast HSDPA connectivity. This means that it can briskly handle most tasks (editing Word and Excel document, reading PDFs, etc.) and can browse the web with fast transfer rates. These two key points are enough for me to rate it as top of its current peers (Dopod 810, Samsung i718, HP rw6828). The other factors that I like about the Atom Life are its compact design, its 1GB internal ROM and its overall brand theme integration within Windows Mobile.
The negative points for the Atom Life are its lackluster speakers and the casing's glossy finish (fingerprint smudge galore). System stability doesn't seem to be an issue for me, but the occassional reset may be required if things freeze up. However, system hangs doesn't appear to be as frequent as on the Dopods or the HPs (the Dopod 818pro drove me insane).
Overall, I give the Atom Life a 9/10 rating for features and a 9/10 for performance. Design is too subjective to warrant a quantitative rating.

Those complaining about battery life need to set Band setting to GSM mode rather then HSDPA.Use 900+1800 GSM. Keep 3G only for when you need to surf net. Will save lots of battery time after.

You can change the sorting order with the select menu in the messager, it's right there. The camera does not suck. It's actually pretty good quality, but the shutter speed delay is a problem. It's ok to move your hands abit after you press the button, just make sure you're still when you hear the "ka chee!" sound of the camera.
The speakers are still notoriously weak though, though it's quite an improvement from the previous atom exec. Everything else is just top notch.

Agree... the camera is suck due to the delay. Average take 5-8 seconds from the button press until shuttle sound. In between if ur hand shake ..then your photo will be blur. Pre-installed with softwares. Anyway, you can read review at http://www.mobile88.com/mobile.../reviews.asp

I bought the o2 atom life yesterday, its quite a complicated fone, why arent the text messages in order of the date recieved?, how can we change that? camera sucks, speaker also sucks, but its well organized, the organizer is very good. pretty fast fone. And just wondering how can I change the ringtone? overall i think is good but too expensive so not worth it.
