This phone has every feature you could possible want! it looks nice, touch screen, all the media functions and push email capabilities. Infact its one of the best pocket computers i have ever seen. The only downfall is that its speaker and functionality as an actual phone is terrible. is it possible to download the blackberry server onto any other pda phones? it would make life cheaper.

I'm taking back whatever I have written about Globe prepaid SIM working with my Atom Life. After additional testings, the following are my observations:
1. I can send and receive text messages using a Globe prepaid SIM.
2. I can receive calls.
3. I can make calls to Globe toll free numbers (211 or 222).
4. You can a landline or cellphone number and it will ring, but you can not hear each other when it is answered. Your Atom will show a message that it is dialling the number and you can not terminate it by pressing "end". It will just stop dialling on its own after about 30 seconds (fotunately, you will not be charged anything for the call).
My unit was purchased abroad, so I can say that the problem is true for all Atom Life.
As I see it, the problem is probably with the verification of prepaid balance (handshake process) to allow the call. It looks like Globe and the Atom can not understand each other.
My advice: Do not buy an Atom Life if you intend to use it with a Globe Prepaid SIM. You will just be disappointed.
I use an unlimited Globe Visibility (postpaid SIM) on my Atom, so this is not a problem with me. But just thinking that I can not properly use a Globe prepaid SIM if I want to decreases my appreciation of the Life.
Cheers!

O2 is offering a free upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 to current XDA Atom Life users on their website. Has anyone tried upgrading to WM6? Are their any stability issues? Does the ROM come with upgraded versions to the original O2 pre-installed software?

hi guapo!
i already bought mine to the service and the technician was not able to repair the problem. People in the center said that atom life really have problems ( making and receiving calls) with Globe prepaid and that they already forwarded the concern to O2 Singapore.Btw, may i know where did u purchase your device?

mine also shuts down when it reaches 40% battery supply especially when i'm receiving a call.moreover, aside from my previous posts that it doesn't work with a Globe prepaid sim, i also don't receive some text messages coming from Globe subscribers. i'm starting to regret buying this device. =(

I bought my Atom life in HK. It just kept hanging...I tried to have the OS reinstalled in Ortigas and it worked better only for a few hours then went back to hanging. I upgraded yesterday to WM6 and the phone worked much better but then the "hanging" spells have returned. My phone just shuts down when the phone is left unused and when I press the power button the phone makes a soft reset. Anyone has the same problem?

im really torn between life and dopod 838pro
i like the specs on the life but ive been reading alot of reviews saying that it hangs alot and should get the dopod... will it be fixed with the update of the OS to mobile 6? and can you really notice the difference between 620Mhz and 400Mhz processor?
