Ya, i was considering this phone until recently but descided to research the web before buying. I came accross this forum which is very good. I've read many many other user discussion groups O2 Atom life mobile pda phone discussion groups and they all had the same issues discussed here with this atom pda phone. problem after problem about people complaining about O2 Atom life pda phone not delivering on standard expected. I am without doubt it is not the users but the o2 atom users hardware from the many many o2 atom pda complints that have been written on the various mobile phone forums. my opinion anyway and thankyou to those that submit opinions onto this site.

Hey thanks for that .. re: TyTN II ill have a look. I have WM O2 Life its been absolute crap and ive posted what i think below. To me its just a work phone. Im junking it.. but i feel sorry for those that are buying this phone for personal use and cant eg. write it off as a tax deduction and kiss this thing goodbye before sending it to the bin.

Hi Jeff.. the choice is simple. Do a little bit of research on the net ..type into google for example: O2 atom life with words .. eg. problems, issues, complaints etc. and you will see that the O2 life and its younger broth the O2 Atom is a completely faulty phone. Ive had the smaller one (O2 Atom) and that was rubbish (similar faults to whats all been outlined by posts) and then tried a life only to find it too was a failure. Hope this helps. try eg. a palm or something as i havent used a palm before but surely to god its gotta be better than the O2 products ive had

I have the O2 life now for about 6 month and I had alot of problem with freezing and downloading my e-mails. I did upgraded to WM6 and now I have no more problem with my O2. Works great with no more errors. Only problem i have probably with setting which I do not know how to modify is down loading my yahoo e-mail automaticly and it will make auto log. This make my battery life shorter keep on getting on line and checking my e-mails. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! O2, O2 life, O2 Atom whatever you want to call yourself.. you are CRAP!!! Simply crap! you cant take customers for idiots and YOU O2 cant hide behind a website and treat customers like rubbish by passing us over to an overseas based call centre to deal with the issues that this ATOM HAS. Why do you sell these half baked mobile phones (im talking about O2 Atom and O2 Atom Life here), then, when it has problems asks soon after the old storey .. it needs to be sent away for a ROM upgrade!!! .. that is BS!!! Your O2 Atom and Atom Life phones are BS!!. I had a faulty Atom! It required a ROM upgrade, i then junked that phone because it didnt live up to my expectations...I bought a O2 atom life mobile phone, the O2 Life.. guess what .. it also requires a ROM upgrade and the phone to be posted away to have this done now.. listen up! I bought the phone with a friend who alsoo bought one at the same time, they have been inudated with problems with this O2 Atom Life but thank Christ they havent had to send their phone away for a ROM upgrade .. Something fishy going on here. Its happened twice on both of my phones that I have needed ROM upgrades soon after purchase. Please O2, dont sell phones that you know cant perform out of the factory. If you want quality, make sure they are fit for purpose before leaving your backyard factory or whichever tin pot shed you manurfacture these phones from!

Maybe O2 should go back to running the Atom Life on DOS (remember that program?)... a nice simple application may see it working better by the sounds of things.

Ya.. ive been running Windows 6 on mine. but the tech support guy said wait until its been out for a while to iron out any WM6 Bugs.. If only i'd known that about the phone .. i wouldnt have to worry about O2 Life Bugs let alone WM6. WM6 hasnt been well thought out from a navigation point of view.

Been having trouble with my O2 Life also Switched it on and it loads to the blue splash screen and does not go any further ... - soft reset - hard reset -- - taking battery out and putting back - call O2 technical support and they said to charge phone? THEN do the rom upgrade... This is wasting a lot of my time. I dont have time to waste trying to sort out problems with a faulty product :( let alone send the phone away by post for repairs to a repair centre and be without a phone. I checked a number of other opinions and reviews on the net and wow! seems im not alone.

Well back to hell.
The P990i was a disaster so I traded it for an n95.
The N95 was the best so far but very badly made and it's battery life did not support the extras.
So now I get a O2 Atom and the wifi doesnt work even after a trip to the sevice center.
I'm taking up golf......You don't need wi fi or bluetooth for golf.Golf has got to be better.

after reading your reviews below, just had to add one more...having used this for 6 odd months. initially was still fine but the screen starts to freeze every now & then. If phone goes out of network range (underground) sms received disappears, had to restart phone & sms will then appear marked under sim memory.
phone always hangs when updating music library...have since downloaded the sms backup software & gonna go for WM6 to see if i can revive stability.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE, ITS HORRIBLE :(
