how does an apple ipod touch and a o2 atom life compare... thats like comparing apples with oranges? one is a pda/phone and the other is a mp3/entertainment device?

I am using this phone after I bought this in Hongkong. I am fully satisfied with this Atom Life only except the performance of connecting to a network. When I get into a building, the antenna shows just one or two bars or cannot connect any network. Is this the general problem that every users experience ?

it is a good phone i like it but it sometime really create problems. But it has massive features like it's sound quality can be compared with the apple ipod touch i am saying this because i have both of them maybe the headphone provided along with them are not good but it plays well in all other speakers by using a converter. it has a high defination surround sound and dual speakers which no other pda have.

Here here .. anthony .. your words of wisdom echo to my own sentiments. this phone has caused me no end of problems. i wouldnt be surprised if o2 simply just rebadge this into a different device ...like they do (continuously introducing new and upgraded models) why dont they just get the basic models down pat first like the o2 atom life before trying to sell new models. this phone has been a complete failure for me from a business sense. constantly having problems to a point its better for me to go out and buy something else than have to take it back for constant repairs... lets hope that the managers at O2 phone company are closely monitoring their stats and burn their bottom line as well like it affected mine with all the mucking around, freezing and missed phone calls (drop outs, sms's not arriving, hard resetting of the phone on a random basis) that I had while my O2 atom life WAS WORKING .. and is now .. all but DEAD. RIP Atom Life... RIP

This is a very bad device and a waste of money. I donot understand how can a company with a prospect of competing with big companies produce a very bad device like that. It is not a stable device requires reboot at least 3 times a day, output sound is very bad, camera is bad and its battery is
useless and worst ever customer service. a $200 device is better.

Bob.. forget trying to run this software on this phone. do some simple searches on google. type: o2 atom life then the words eg. issues, complaints, problems, user reviews... there is a consistant chorus of dissatisfaction from many, many users and poor ratings to match. thats why im getting away from this phone because im one of the dissatisfied o2 customers as well thats had a gutful of the problems with this phone. hope that helps you out?

it will probably run poorly like the other windows applications i ran on this phone. check all the previous posts and dont buy this phone. thats my recommendation from a user of this phone. pretty strong words. DONT BUY. read what you will .. but just remember those two words.

to the last two posts.
Right on the money! what you said is 100% spot on. I used to have an XDA II by O2. it was a great phone so i thought id get an Atom Exec. That one.. lasted weeks. upgraded to an O2 ATom Life. that one lasted 4 months ..not only poor battery life, moving screen, slow start up, poor pictures, hard resets (even during a phone call), slow performance, speakers buzzing then completely stopped, not ringing tone (dont know where that dissapeared to), centre button not working, answer button not working, call dropouts, call hangup button not working (to a point people were listening into my conversations as phone wouldnt hang up), sms's not arriving, poor navigation. the o2 xda atom life has got everything wrong that could go wrong with a phone. im so dissapointed in this phone and the way that its just become an awefully overpriced paperweight. boohoo..

I bought the atom o2 life and its battery life is very bad. After a full recharge it lasts for a single day (maximum 2) even without making calls or using the device as an MP3 player. I called the customer service and it is the worst customer service you can deal with. They confirmed that there was a batch of faulty batteries, but they refused to replace mine.
DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE, BUY FROM A REPUTABLE COMPANY INSTEAD

Thanks O2, I've always wanted to spend $1000 on a paperweight...
Avoid this phone like the plague, don't even take it if someone wants to give you one for free. It's not worth the pain you'll go through trying to use it.
I used mine for about 4 months, I had to reset it 10 times a day due to the phone freezing up (terrible memory leakage, 14mb free after reset then down to 1 or 2mb after a few hours with all programs stopped!!!). it was slow (so much for a fast processor) and switched itself off randomly. The screen was flimsy, hopeless battery life.
I stuck with it hoping that ROM upgrades would fix a few of the problems but they just got worse. Untill one day i went to make a phone call and i couldn't hear anyone at the other end and they couldn't hear my voice. The mic and speaker were both gone. There's only one O2 authorised service centre in australia and it's in QLD so they wanted me to pay for postage to send the phone there and back. I didn't bother as i figured i've wasted enough money on this piece of junk.
I've just bought a HTC TyTN 2, and so far so good. I can safeley say that I will never again purchase anything from O2.

yea.. i understand what you said below about the stylus. the replacements tend to be lightweight, plastic type ones that are even easier to lose and feel .. well, absolutely cheap.

i bought this phone from someone else for a considerably low price & now it's been almost 4 months. my major concern is the auto shut-off problem when the batt is quite low & the not-as-expected cpu speed. honestly, i really like the design & i'm truly hoping that o2 can do something about all the "concerns" as posted. btw, is there anyone here still have positive comments after more than 6 months of use?
