I just bought this phone last week. I realized battery life is horrible. I charge the phone to 100% and i leave the phone at standby mode (no wireless network on) and no making any calling. Yet, at the end of day, the battery becomes 10%. Can it be a faulty battery that i am having because the specification mentioned stand by mode will last 150 hours.

Should have wait for apple 3G iphone. Haiz...

O2 can seriously think and solve following problems;

1. Battery timing
2. Improvement in Camera quality
3. Sometimes Hanging issues
4. 64MB RAM consumption minimum

Please solve these issues immediately because once you spend a lot of money users can get better results.

It is really enjoy to work with WM6 OS!

I have used a lot of phones and so far among my best phones is this O2 atom life. Im afraid people will definitely say its useless or it hangs always, it may be true depending where you got your unit. But for me it works pretty fine it is full of features and not to mention the amazing freeware you can download online to enhance it. I guess its a matter of knowing how to use the device before we can judge its capabilities. Windows based devices are actually more challenging rather than the symbian types( which mostly 7 year olds can operate no offense ). I guess the best thing to do is read the manual 1st before talking or posting a bad comment about the phone.

I own this O2 Atom Life since Dec 2007.I live in Singapore and got for S$1098. I have seen most of the commenting on the poor performance of the battery and hanging. If u dont know to use this phone properly... it will suck. The poor batter performance is due to the application running in background ( U might not have closed), whether the blue tooth or wiFi is on. Try to check whether all ur applications are properly closed. This enhance the batter performance.. U cannot compare this with Nokia PDA as it has the best processor.
Its now running on WM6. Good applications like Mobile office, Windows messenger, FM, etc.
My last suggestion is, if don't know how to use the PDA with WM6 or u r looking only for a phone rather than an organizer, better dont go for this.
As of my experience, its a good companion if used properly.

battery suck! RAM Low! Symbian OS user friendly than WM OS! Nokia E51vs XDA Atom Life. Nokia E51 win!

The phone is excellent,For ppl who say it hangs so many time,I request u to switch ur phones CPU profile to Best Performance please.
It is available by pressing Start>settings>system tab>CPU Profile.
THE PHONE IS GREAT.IT HAS GOT THE SECOND BEST PROCESSOR TO THE APPLE iPHONE.

There is quite a few problem with this phone.
1)Main is the battery life(maybe can last for 1 day)
2)about the wifi problem(it can't turn on and it probably hangs right).For this i have try by hard reset it and it will work perfectly(for me).
There are only 2 problem for me,other is working perfectly for me.

About the bluetooth,just turn on your bluetooth:
1)go file explorer
2)select the file then choose beam file
3)just tap the device name that you want to send
4)it will automatically send the file using bluetooth.

Sorry,my english is very bad.lol

Please do not buy this phone. Looks are deceiving.Im someone who made the mistake of investing on this phone. The display attracts dust like magnet. Phone hangs many a times a day.Touch screen is not good. Battery is horrible. Its definitely not worth the price. Run away from this useless gadget.
