Press the power button on the top of the phone and press the reset button on the botton of the phone using your pen touch both in one time. Then press and hold the blue and red button on your phone. It flash your phone and make it new as like you buy the phone now....

  • how can i change the message alert how can i turn off my device properly... for example if i need to replace my sim card

  • If you are from Malaysia, I simply discourage you to buy this phone. There is no O2 service center currently in Malaysia. Any evaluation and repairing needs to be done by a 3rd party agent, which provides horrible customer care. My main problem is that the quality control simply isn't there. Some people had fantastic units which behaved well, mine was a brat. The unit get simply way to hot when using bluetooth, wifi or when even charging. It got so hot I could feel it burning thru my jeans after about using 15minutes using the hands free bluetooth set. And screen eventually cracked with some prior notice. When I sent it to the 3rd party agent to get it repaired or evaluated, they simply refuse to get back to me and report the problem. After hounding them daily for 3 weeks only they said that under "normal operating conditions" the unit was fine. They just simply implied I am a liar when I asked how a problem so persistent for 7 months could disappear. So I don't recommend getting this phone if you are from Malaysia considering there is no O2 service center.

  • This device has very good clarity for voice.I am very satisfied with the features even this device cannot compatible for 3G network.But only disadvantage is slight poor battery stand by time.Otherwise it is very good.

  • yes you are right, i bought it 31 august 2008 almost every day till today 23sept08 it hangs and i find difficulty in making it open and the hyperbanda where i bought it from in ksa/bisha refused to help in repair so i advise all dont buy it

  • Hello, I have read somewhere the O2 Atom Exec has battery problems. Will you users please tell me honestly, whether this was restricted to that user or is a general complaint. Pls note I am a power user and really put my PDA's and Handhelds to the task. Pls answer ASAP? I am planning on getting this Unit. I really do like this Unit. Pls advise!!!!!

  • the o2 brand unit is good,there is the problem of user mind,advised upgrade your coconut shell..

  • To do a hard reset? Turn the phone so you can see the bottom of it and you should be able to find a reset button (use your stylus to reach it). Merely pressing that reset button will perform a soft reset; to do a hard reset you need to be pressing and holding the power button located on the top of the phone. Hope that helps.

  • how do you do the hard reset if the mechanical button not function? i understand that you need to press both green and red button while re-setting

  • Im Confused..... Can I Upgrade / Intall Windows mobile 6 or 6.1 in my Atom Exec??? pls i need your help....

  • My opinion .... I am very disappointed with the O2 Atom Exec - the battery life is appalling, even though I don't use the phone, video, or music functions! The operating system is extremely unstable - it frequently hangs, and ActiveSync appears unreliable and unstable, particularly after I install Microsoft software updates on my PC. I have stopped using this machine and will go back to either a Palm, or to a Nokia (anything with a different operating system!). My advice - don't buy . . . two of my colleagues have also stopped using their O2s. Best wishes Nick

  • Hi, Can anyone help me with a website which will provide me with some translation software to use with my phone. Thanks MOHAMED KHAIR KANBARIEH

  • Yup, doesnt seem you can turn off phone. But if the reason for turning off is to save on battery or not receive calls - try putting phone in flight mode. This way, it doesnt spend energy being on-line and it can have more battery life.

  • To: Everybody - you can change the "Ringtone" using MP3 but you can not change SMS/MMS notification using MP3. You can select/change the notification within the available default tunes. Note that "Phone" and "Sounds & Notifications" menus are separate and MP3 can be seen only under "Phone" menu but NOT available under "Sounds & Notifications" menu. P.S. Contact Numbers in phone memory can only be saved to SIM one-by-one. Contact Numbers saved in SIM can be transferred to phone memory all at once. Go to SIM manager and it will show you all the contact numbers, select all to highlight then select copy to contact.

The sound sucks (too low volume even if i have it on max volume) It hangs a lot especially when your battery is goin low. Over-all I wont recommend this to youngsters.

  • Purchased this phone for less than 6 months and (1)battery cannot even charge up to 10% just recently (i use the phone only during weekends for surfing internet and miscosoft word); (2)the phone hangs although less than 4 applications are turned on, so i will have to power off then take out battery, put back battery and power on again. Even on my first day when i used the (3)phone function the speaker function (ie. handsfree) never works up to today. On top of all these, (4)the alarm rings as and when it wished to ie either before or a few hours after its set time.

Overall, no major problems, and its cool

  • hi all, i have problem wif my network setting. it cant detect any wireless network...pls assist

  • I have Atom Exec and HTC Touch Dual The differences between these 2 are : HTC Touch Dual(128 MB RAM, 256 MB ROM) - with 3G/Keypad, no WIFI/FM Radio, WM6 Atom Exec (64 MB RAM, 192 MB ROM) - with WIFI/FM Radio and no 3G/Keypad, WM5 If you need WIFI very often, choose ATom Exec instead of HTC Touch Dual or HTC Touch. Please note that : - HTC Touch Dual is different from HTC Touch. - HTC Touch Dual is much cheaper than O2 Atom Exec. - HTC Touch Dual Camera is better than O2 Atom Exec. - Both phone provide Chinese software. - Both support A2DP - If you go for this phone because of TouchFlo, actually you can try a software call Touch Commander, it works on most PDA phone without TouchFlo. Hope the above can help you to choose your ideal phone. Jenny

  • i'm comparing this with HTC Touch. any oppinions? thanks.

  • this thing is so cool just wate till you get it

  • Hi In my Atom Exec, the option of turning on speaker phone is grayed out. I can not turn on the speaker during the call. Is there any fix for this? Also i can not assign MP3 file as ringtone. Is this a limitation of this particular phone model? Is there a WM 6 upgrade available for Atom Exec? I believe it has good processor speed to support WM 6.

  • Hi all, I am experience trouble when I turn on speaker phone on my O2 XDA Atom Exec. When the speaker phone is turned on during a call, the person on the other end cannot hear my voice clearly. I can hear their voice clearly, but on the other side, they cannot hear the voice clearly. They hear some sound like Trrrr... something similar to what happens when mobile is close to a magnetic speaker. I made sure that there is no speaker or any other magnatic field around me, but still, the person on the other side cannot hear my voice clearly. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Can someone please tell me how to solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance.

  • To dude - then post here the site where you got your WM6 ROM to make our lives easier rather than to advise us to google it and we will find where it is, right? Thank you.

  • lies? i had wm6 installed on my wm6. well, the truth is its not officially available at o2's website. but there's a community web who took wm6 from from htc universal and recooked it so it can runs on atom and atom exec. google for it, sure you'll find it. come on dude, how long you've been living under the hood? before start to talk, make sure you know what you're saying.

  • I think those person who has said here that they upgraded their O2 Atom Exec from WM5 to WM6 is purely lies & imagination. If you go to O2 Atom site, nothing mentioned there that WM6 ROM for O2 Atom Exec is available. WM6 ROM is available only for Atom Zinc, Atom Life. So, guys don't believe that WM6 ROM for Atom Exec is available.

  • How do you upgrade from WM5 to WM6?

  • Hi, I am a busy executive on moove, I want to buy a phone which has Camera, SMS, Stereo blue tooth, Music so that i can carry one handset against two Nokia & Sony erricson. is this handset the right choice for me.

  • Anybody who can help me how to Upgrade our Atom Exec from WM5 to WM6 and WHERE we can get the ROM update (WM6)? Many thanks for the help.

  • The GPS at Atom Exec is doesn't work...so I have to buy another device for gps receiver...??????

  • I have this handphone since early August 2007 till now, I didn't upgrade to WM6 as I'm still fine with WM5, maybe later. Recently I found out the my set will hang when I exit TCPMP, but works perfectly with most of the 3rd party software, I use this handset to view my korean drama, TV program very often (1 hour journey to office), (I transfer movie clip from VCD/DVD and TV program from my PMP to Atom Exec) and recently I bought a A2DP BT earpiece (I-tech Clip Radio BT earpiece, S$129) and this earpiece come with FM stereo too, I really love this, besides watching movies, I read alot of novels during spare time(download free from internet too). Today, I saw an offer from Starhub (Singapore) promoting Atom Life at very low price (with 2 years contract), this really very attracts me due to the high ROM (1GB), but when I read the comments from Atom Life, alittle withdraw due to the "auto shutdown". Anyone know why Atom Exec is more costly than Atom Zinc and Atom Life? Thanks

  • Hi All,well guys,this PPC is good with me until now,I've bought from 2 weeks experience no problems until now expect that I'm liking more and more everyday,didn't upgrade until now but MWM 5 is working fine,Really Good PPC with modest price and Good quality and function well,Recommending it for all who r looking for new PPC with High Function with Modest Price..Regards

  • Anybody using this unit with the WM6 Operating System? I heard that Atom Exec could be upgraded to WM6, or Atom Exec will run only with WM5.

  • To: Masood - Just bought mine few days ago and it works fine - just perfect. Right after I bought my unit, I requested the store to upgrade the ROM (as my unit has a later version). Until now I have not experienced hangs, re-start, etc. Speed is really amazing, speaker is great as well and even the 2MP camera is quite decent already, screen is vivid. I would say the best PPC I've ever had.

  • Hi all u bloggers, Looks like most of u are experiencing tonnes of problem with ur atom Exec.

  • I bought this phone in nov 2006. I would say, it is the best pda available in the market. 1 of the best i have ever used. The only draw back is its not so great sound and a average camera.

  • I bought this phone 6months ago and after 3 months i discovered some of shops selling same phone but its with WM6, how come? i contacted sole distributer; but they refuse and said its impossible they dont have any idia about that and when i visited local shops they said they will charge $50 for upgrade, why O2 is playing with customers? they are releasing new devices with latest software and leaving old phone without update and by this way user also hate the brand and offcource people will not come back or in future no one think to buy O2 where as other companys updating their devices regularly and if you see lot of things are old at O2 site not updated and just forgotton. i belive if they keep this kind of strategy they will going to lose big chunk of bussiness in coming years; while others attaracting customers with best comitment service & eye candy features.

  • i loved the phone in the beginning. its superb with all its function and the softwares you can install. it was just great. but now after a around 2 months of use. Its shuts off automatically and does not turn on. i reset it to fac default. Its worked. no problems....now after a week same problem. the phone does not turn on.

  • I bought this PDA (O2 Atom Exec) early August 2007 because M1 (Singapore) having offer for National Day, it costs me only about S$500 with 2 years plan (save almost 50% compare with other operators in Singapore). My First PDA was Acer N30 and HP2000 series, than PDA phone was Eten M500, O2 mini, Dopod 818Pro (6 months) and recent O2 Atom Exec. I'm happy with this O2 phone, 818Pro gave me one big problem on sms, once 3rd party software installed, the SMS is blank, cannot create text, read message unless you hardreset the fone - I called Dopod service centre, they told me due to 3rd party software, other than that Dopod 818Pro is fine with me. The SMS bugs push me to purchase O2 Atom Exec (party because of the discount too). My experience with O2 Atom Exec only about 3 weeks, it works fine with me, I can provide some information for the potential buyer. 1) Camera - So so only (Dopod 818Pro is better), but if you need a good camera, use your digital camera. 2) Video/Movie - I use TCPMP most of the time instead of built-in Media Player, TCPMP is free and can support more format than the media player. 3) Sound - fine with me as I'm not so particular. 4) T9 - this phone not support T9, but go and install T9 phone pad -"PhonePad_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC12" and solve this problem. 5) Chinese Text - For Chinese SMS you need to install 3rd party software, I used CE-Star that provided by Dopod 818Pro, if you have friend that using Dopod, you can request a copy from them, or purchase online. 6) Battery - Fine with me as I charge daily. 7) Dictionary (English)- I installed Oxford DDT and work well. 8) MP3 - No problem (TCPMP can support too) 9) Ear buds - design not great, but is really good for me when going gym, it won't drop easily. Other sofware that I install 1) Agenda one 2) iFlytek voicebook - I like to use this reader to read Chinese Novel, the text can be very big. 3) Japan2Go phrase book 4) RealOne player 5) Japanese dictionary 6) Spb Insight - RSS 7) SysWatch - view battery status and memory 8) CJ Reader - if your phone not support Chinse, you can use this software to read Chinese and Japanese novels (txt or html file). Movies I used to convert DVD movies and some TV program to watch when I take MRT to work and it works fine on TCPMP. Games When you install 3rd party games in your PDA, O2 will paste the link to your game folder (in main memory), please create one "mygames" in your miniSD card and move all games to this "mygames" folder, this will help when you hardreset your PDA, and you need not to re-install all your games - it works fine. I've one question here, O2 Atom Exec have one function is "GPS", do I need to purchase GPS software or the adaptor, hope someone can answer me.

  • I want to buy this handset. Does this handset has any small keyboard (folding) like XDA Zinc? any other recommendation regarding this handset...

  • this a warning to all those who are planning to buy o2 devices in the future! beware! I am from India. I was happy using O2 phones such as the XDA II and the Atom so I decided to go in for another. I purchased an O2 XDA Stealth on Feb 12th 2007 and had immediately regretted the decision as I started facing a hell lot of problems in the device. Almost after a month of correspondence with O2 they sent me a replacement handset. I was happy until i opened the new unit. It had the same problems and some new. Again after long talks with O2 (Mr Keanu) they sent me another replacement promising me that this would work but it did not. Naturally I was very angry and frustrated. At this stage I ahd lost all faith in the Stealth and demanded O2 to give me some other handset for all the inconvienience that I have faced . After a series of talks with O2 Singapore(Mr Keanu) I received an Atom Exec. But my problems worsened! After a couple of days the Exec "died" ie it would not charge. when the charger was connected it would show full battery and when disconnected it would switch off and not switch on for days. Highly annoyed and frustrated I began my talks again with O2 and at the same time bought the O2 Zinc. That was another error from my side as the Zinc also had problems. Its indicator LED malfunctioned and the microphone gave out static. Those were horrible times for me having two defective handsets. O2 finally agreed to replace both these handsets and they did. So I have already used 3 Stealths, 2 Atom Execs and 2 Zincs. That adds up to 7 O2 phones in about five and a half months!!! Well things dont end here. once again I am having problems with the Zinc such as the LED is malfunctioning, the speaker switches on automatically when a call is made, the speaker dies out, screen freezes..etc.. So to all those who are planning on investing their money on an O2 device please do not as the quality of O2 devices is degrading day by day and is no longer dependable as it once upon a time was. if any of you want to know bout the problems i faced in these many devices please contact me on +919884414907

  • I have bought for O2 Exec at December 06.All of the function are good except the speaker. It has rough voice that combined with other. I think the company should solve the problem in this case.

  • I will like to solve the software related issues of yours.. Lets make our O2 Better

  • I bought new o2 exec in June 07, I have send it for repair 2 times in a month. first time is MainBoard problem then they replace me a new set after I bring home in 2 days, the LCD problem, I have lost my confidence in this model.

  • I just bought o2 atom exec, I download some themes and games, I don't know why, sometimes it can hang one....huh...I tot I choose right gadget, unfortunely it's still have problem, not satisfield!!!

  • ok, email problem fixed after a bit more effort!! Any clues how to get the infra red ports aligned between the Atom and the 'wireless' keyboard???...and talking to each other???

  • I was a O2 XDAII user and loved the phone until it drew its last breath after two years. The Atom Exec replacement is an excellent PDA and one I can't live with out....however.....the infra red keyboard I was given with the phone will not align and therefore am unable to use what would be an excellent addition. Are there any software upgrades I need for this to function?? I can receive emails through my POP account however cannot send emails (which is causing me a lot of angst). I've been using the GPRS. The PDA should self configure but it isn't playing ball. Am I missing something or is this another software issue?? What other neat things are available for the ATOM Exec? Appreciate your help!!

  • does O2 atom pure comes with auto answer option is yes can anyone tell me how to activate it

  • This is about the contact lastname-first name issue. While entering a contact choose first-last name in "File As" drop down.If you are using Outlook then choose the same. No need to enter first name in last name or last name in first name. There is a way to set this as default .. I dont remember now. thx

  • hw is the camera quality????? n is the p990i better than this phone?

  • this is for Vinod Joshi, even i'm facing the same problem with the contacts, but i've found a simple solution to that.... when u enter a new contact, press the drop down menu in name field and in First Name field enter the last name, and in Last Name field enter the first name instead.!!!! isn;t that smart enuff?? otherwise u can enter the full first and last name in the last name field itself.. how 'bout that?

  • Hello, I have bought O2 XDA Atom Exec PDA phone before a few days. It runs on Microsoft Mobile 5 OS. It is an amazing phone. However, I am facing one problem. The contacts are showing as Last Name, First Name format. How can I change it to First Name, Last Name? Even in call history appears in Last Name, First Name order. When someone calls in, the caller's name appears in Last Name, First Name formar. Can someone please help? If you know the solution of how to show the contacts in First Name, Last name order instead of Last Name, First Name, then please let me know. I will be really helpful. The mobile has got Microsoft Office Mobile 2003. Thank you very much in advance.

  • My O2 XDA Atom Exec has no problem yet, so far its all good.. it is expensive but i satisfied =P

  • VERY BAD. Touch screen does not functon properly. What a waste of money.

  • I love this phone! I have never had any of the issues that other say they have had. My phone gets used many times a day with a Blue Ant head set which never cuts out and is really clear. I have a 2GB card installed and often watch movies or TV programs. Every now and then it locks up after heavy gaming but I just hit the reset. I even use it to transcribe the minutes of meetings. This really is a fantastic phone.

  • it is not a good phone ,touch screen does not functon properly

  • Hi, Can anyone help me with a website which will provide me with some translation software to use with my phone. Thanks

  • my XDA atom exec sometimes hangs up...its not phone worth for its price...the touch screen does not function well because it select different features instead of the desired selection...

  • anyone have any idea why i can't play any video? says WMP is looking for skins, installed real player. still no video. it's not a codecs problem as these videos work on other ohones/pcs. any ideas?

  • all kind of o2 phone r modern but the quality is not good enough. with this said, most of them r easy to get error ! why !!!

  • This is a fairly good upgrade to the reliable atom, but no matter what you do is not compatable with Windows Vista. I have tried everything from downloading drivers to reinstalling Vista's version of Active Sync Windows Mobile device Center, and there is still no improvement on the poor loud speaker (which in my opinion was the only flaw in the phone). So overall I think it is a fairly good upgrade, but for what it is they could have done better.

  • THis is a pocket Pc, not a cyber shot phone! At least know what you're doing for god sake! Ofcourse the camera wont be as good as other.

  • the battery life is not good, where can i buy a spare battery? and even its a 2 megapixel camera but the capture is not good....waste of money....

  • according to the www.seeO2.com site, the phone cannot be turned off completely...=(

  • is there anyway to turn off this machine? i cannot turn it off using the on/off button.

  • the phone & functions are good, BUT: - not compatible w/ vista out of the box! - ear buds are a dumb design, uncomfortable & fall out - the screen is v.poor outdoors - navigation w/o stylus avg - sound control is v.avg

  • hold down the left button (grren phone) for a few secs to activate loudspeaker cheers

  • Yeah, it should cut price it hafl... Most place on earth doesnt even have umts man, why would they do that?

  • i think this phone is overpriced for gsm system only, it lacks umts function therefore price should go down, a waste of money...

  • My Atom Exec have a problem. No sound from speaker when using it or activating the media player or put a phone call and it's FM radio can be activated without attached headset. But amazingly everything is alright when the headset is attached. I've try to hard reset it but still no use. Fortunately now everything is fix after trying to attached and deattached the headset several times.It seems there is a problem with the headset jack.

  • How do you connect wifi with this>? When i enable wifi, it said type it key and press connect? What key?

  • can someone please tell me how I change the os from chinese to english? please email me at [email protected] if you can help me... Thanks in advance

  • TO O2 users, I'm getting this phone 10days from now & i was wondering if you could answer some of my wonders about it: 1-how often do you charge the battery? 2-does the screen go off to save the battery life after a little while if the PDA is not used? 3-since i dont know much about PDA's.can you tell me if this O2 can run same WMP formats as the normal windows we have? 4-can you play videos using a wide screen look? I hope that isnt much to answer,thanks anyways!

  • Is anyone using 4GB miniSD card on Atom Exec? Cheers.

  • pls let me abt the pros and cons of o2 xda atom or related models im plannig to buy a new one ,previously i was using a n70 phone i want it to be something higher than that ...so pls help

  • How can I change themes in XDA Atom Exec??? How Can I get GMAIL & Yahoo Mail in XDA Atom?? PLease tell me those in details....??? Does Rom Upgrade do any harm to the Mobile???? Help me I am a New user...

  • how come O2 XDA Atom Exec doesn't has 3G? can someone tell me? Please this is urgent because i want buy it!

  • Sorry for waiting.. OK.. Eten X500 Glofiish: -reliable GPS (if u need it most, coz I dont) -better battery life -slim but looks cheap -2 buttons that placed above the screen is crancky -all construction actually strong but ofcourse looks cheap and old -after reset or sometimes its just makes the sound options get back to default, 3/4 from max volume -the screen is glitch or wave if u using ur stylus -gap between chasing and lcd, so its possible for dust to get in -the button almost useless, hard to press -sound is better than O2Exec, but it still u cant expect from PDA hmm.. to sum up: u'll regret it if u buy it. Ok, about price maybe its cheaper but u'll get of course cheap looks.

  • O.k I been using pda phones for quite some time for example: Motorola 6188 entry level pda(ol Skool). Recently I have been thru about 6-8 different type of Pda's from the Motorolla 3G 1000 to the some what new O2 mini X-ec. Hmmm as for the question on if the 02 Mini X-ex has speaker phone jus keep ur finger on the green phone icon for about 6-8 secs and the speakerphone should turnon. Now down to bussiness, all these phones:xda2i,mini,mini2, xda2, and most micro/symbian OS this includes motorola and the sony's cause they run on these OS also. I find that the developers promise far to much than the products can actually produce. I have had far to many phones where I would be using at least 4 functions and after a week-month the Pda phones starts choking, freezing up etc. Why offer so many options in a phone when the phone can't even handle the operations properly. Currently I have a OS software based problem with my O2 mini X-ec, I was running gps software, media player, camera, contacts, sync with Outlook and I will use notes and ocassionally use MS word. I just find that as a unit I feel there is still alot more R&D that will be needed in order to fully produce a phone that is totally capable of working with no glitches. Now i am using a sony ericson J210i. Still waiting for my phone O2 mini X-ec to be returned for repair. Not happy.

  • I have gone through 2 xda minis, recently i purchased the ipaq 6915.in short the O2's were ONLY good as PDAs where as the Ipaq is good overeall + there is a GPS that i am using, the procesor shits all over the O2. Can every one see where i am going with this?? DONT BUY O2!!!

  • fon is gud, it's one of the hottest available fon right now. Q: does dis fon has a speaker fon function?

  • Hey Monser7....whats the difference between the ATOM EXEC and the ATOM.........can anyone tell me......if there's not much of a difference....then should i buy that.......let me know anyone.....cause there is a 200$ difference in both and i cant figure it out why.........are they the same size do they look the same........PLEASE CLARIFY

  • Hey Monser7....whats the difference between the ATOM EXEC and the ATOM.........can anyone tell me......if there's not much of a difference....then should i buy that.......let me know anyone.....cause there is a 200$ difference in both and i cant figure it out why.........are they the same size do they look the same........PLEASE CLARIFY

  • Thanks alot..........mons7er..........can someone tell me who has used the ETEN X500.....how is that in comparison to this.........O2 Atom EXEC..............

  • Oh yeah sorry forgot to mention, before I bought ETEN X500, I like the features but u'll regret it. Coz a lot of bug, looks cheap, unreliable, trully I've replace it just for 1 weeks and suffer $70. Shit happen right, and ofcourse if ur looking for a device for works and reliable, just dont amaze with spec without a perfect quality. Just believe it, ok thx..

  • This is a good PDA exactly, and I've been using it for almost 3 weeks. No defect, not a thing.. So.. maybe I've got the good product, coz every 1000 product usually there's some defect about 10% and sometimes pass Quality Control. The Major of it bad points are the battery life and speaker without equalizer (u had to set it) also the equalizer is useless when u set any song as ringtone. I love the phone, small, fast (even for camera, no 5 sec taking picture like someone said below, it's just fast, no O2plus bug, it's just smooth) Thx maybe this is could help for taking decision.

  • do any one support me to buy this phone

  • when you dial a phone no with your thumb dosent the screen gets spoilt and for sms typing do you have to use both hands and always a stylus is it comfortable i am thinking between o2 and se p990

  • I love the speed of this phone. I actually have an Atom Life with 1GB rom 64RAM but I'm not satisfied with the processor speed. it's just 416. I want a high-end ppc. though this has wifi, 3g, bluetooth 2.0, FM and all those upgrades. If there's anyone from the gulf who sells their o2 atom exe, you might want to swap with my atom life plus cash or buy mine for 320BD.

  • Hi I have problem with my atom exec.I purchased my atom exec pda from Fortress Shop at Honk Kong in August. At the beginning there were few problems because of its a new product. I upgrade my rom one month ago. And there wasnt an important problem. But 2-3 weeks ago suddenly my phones sound has gone. I cant use phonespeaker and Microphone during a phone conversation. There is no sound from speakers when media playing and notifications, warnings. The interesting thing is its ringing when an incoming call comes. I can use the headset without a problem. Also bluetooth headset is working. I wrote to O2 support and they suggested me to do hard reset. But I had allready done it seveeral times and I upgraded my rom. Finally they told me to send it to Honk Kong. I am living in Turkey and its not a good idea. Can anyone help me? Kind Regards.

  • i'm using diz phone.quite frankly still clueless bout itz function.bought it @ $$1200.really like the handwriting recgnition though.juz disappointed bout the stereo speaker @ 2mp camera.bluetoothing to other device also seem a hassle.any idea why some device cannot file transfer with it thru bluetooth??

  • What options does this have that the Apple's Iphone doesn't. Why is this so much more expensive and has so little memory? Does this have that Google Maps feature the iphone has

  • px27x is what you call a family of intel xscale. It could be 270,271 or 272. But I'm still kind of skeptical as when I tried using o2 life, the processor shows intelscale 27x. It's a promotional phone so maybe they kept it that way to maintain it's standard and to add injury to insult I doesn't show it's processor speed as well. It has not been released yet. Anyhow, this phone is Great and I'm just actually waiting for o2 flame to get released for the price to come down. o2 flame is expected to come out this feb 07 firtly in thailand.

  • i have 1 question... i juz bought all 02 atom exec. how come the processer ARMV4I PXA272 where is the feature i saw in the internet, the processor is intel XScale PXA27x 520 MHZ. can anybody offer explanation??? thank you...

But I experience sometimes got hang.. when I tried to change my background and when I make phone call to anybody.. my opponents can't hear me clearly.. Until now, I still don't know how to switch between applications.. Could anyone tell me how to solve those problem? Thanks.

  • Im not really satisfy too. When you receive any with bluetooth, system auto receive...till it prompt out msg ask u wan or not. Safe or not ar> If it is a virus then how ar? Mine also they don install the chinese software and keyboard one and maybe other which i din realize now. Then after u copy songs into my o2, slow loading expecially alwix need update the library in order for u to see the latest song list and etc. 2G given also make d O2 too slow...boring d. cos i need put aside before i can move to other sessions.

  • I just brought it yesterday at PC fair...so late only now i get it. I found near d alarm setting, the ok button suppose hide, but it show blinking, show and missing which not suppose to be appear in that feature. Instablity of the software to use in the my O2 isit.

  • Hi Samuel, the speakers are good enough when using it with Skype. Do not expect too much.

  • hey josef, how are the speakers of this pda phone? are loud, how is the cuality????

  • Received this phone on November 1. No problems yet (with the software). However, the battery is ridiculously powerless. The Software is�. Sosolala. My idea was to get a more handy business phone (bought the P990 about 3 month ago). However after 3 days I�ve to admit I wasted my money. The O2 Exec it�s no match for the P990i. My advice: Hands of the O2 Exec.

  • While I admit the phone does have some readaiblity problems in the sun. I have had no other negative issues with it. I have not had the phone hang or reset since I got it out of the box. My other collegues have had a few issues but most of these appear to be when upgrading the software and installing "added extras" I find that it syncs fine with outlook and keeps me from forgetting my appointments and wit hthe wireless I can happily surf the net wherever there is an access point available. While it takes a little bit to get used to it once you do I would never go back to a regular phone.

  • High level user of smart-phones. Had o2 atom for 2 weeks , returned faulty out of box...took 4 weeks to repair (MPS in australia is o2 support...terrible) Got phone back. Exact same problems! 1)Handsfree function gives other side of call buzz buzz static. 2) Headphones supplied or 3rd party give other party echo. 3) annoying high pitched buzz from LCD nect to your ear on all calls. Functions look promising but as per other posts, slow and buggy. Reg fixes increase speed...but hardly something a normal user should have to do. Careful...o2 supplied task manager type programs are terribly buggy and slow phone down. Strange issues too...like ActiveSync starting by itself and kicking off your GPRS. thanks for the big phone bill!!!

  • This phone looks great and promises everything I want. Trouble it it doesn't deliver. PDAs are still miles behind Sony and Nokia, the software isnt integrated, its slow, difficult to configure, people cant hear me and I cant hear them, reception is poor, the telephony / windows interface is clunky. We all want the same thing, Windows and phone on the same platform, but I havent found a product that is reliable and does what it says on the packet!

  • I know the company I work for does them, but Im not an ad, so Im not gonna tell you who they are :P Seriously though, it looks the goods and has all the features you could want. Im getting one myself actually. (Just for those who want to know, Optus companies do have them, the i-mate uses the same phone just rebranded as its designed by HTC...)

  • want 2 find this phone chinese virsion... wjo can help me find? thanks...

  • well....sounds cool....prevously i used atom for quite a sometime and sold it off and bought p9901,atom is quite a good fone now wots new in atom xda exec???is it similar to atom or different??i think i'mwating for orbit too....anyways o2 is o2 no wonder than others o2 fanatic ..enjoy

  • Great pocket PC,software stable , rarely had to restart , handwriting recognition is great,WI-FI is brilliant ,extremely fast browsing and downloading,Battery life is convenient if you lower the display brightness , sound is really good .Camera not bad at all . the display is very nice with real high resolution ,But I can't find an option to wrap the web page to the display size

  • No ROM update to fix crashing problem. Constantly have to reset phone like 30 times a day because it hangs. It already gas the 07-21 ROM update version but problem persists. I like this phone very much but unless the problem can be fixed, it is absolutely useless. Strongly NOT recommemded.

  • After all the horror stories that I have read......abot this phone....does anyone recommend this phone to a busy exec?

  • want to buy a Mobile phone which is having very long life Battery ( Li Polymer), very huge Phone memory, (100 each, incoming, outgoing, missed calls details.) Please advice which mobile phone ie having all these features. Also phone should be very sturdy for daily rough use. JAYANT

  • Does this PDA support playing music over bluetooth? I bought a nokia bluetooth headset and it doesnt play from the headset whereas my nokia 9500 can play from the same headset. i think you cant, i also did try to find the option to use the bluetooth headset for the music but i failed

  • Does this PDA support playing music over bluetooth? I bought a nokia bluetooth headset and it doesnt play from the headset whereas my nokia 9500 can play from the same headset.

  • No anti-virus SW... Not that I know off. If you like touch screen and see this as an 'alternative' to a very very compact Windows device, well and fine. If you are expecting ease of use ... well, ok if you have love Windows OS. The camera rated at 2Mp is a crap. Switching is on is not instantaneous. Take a shot is worst. You subject would have been out of view by the time you shutter 'click' sounded. Quality is bad. You would need plenty of image editing if you are expecting to print them. Good enough for shots meant for scrap book or school projects.

  • does this phone support any anti virus S/W? kindly advise.

  • Vincente, To set WAP or MMS, try using the Auto-Configurator. This O2 enahancement available for downloading at

  • Worse phone ever. Bought it in May 2006 and keep regretting. U can use MP3 as ringtone. U need to convert MP3 to WMA which has bigger file size. This is only a trivial problem when u compare to other headaches. The camera is horibly slow. Press the shutter release and the icon spin for a good 5 second before it clicks. Out in the sun the screen is obliterated so u can hardly see what you are shooting. Indoor photos are horrible. The phone hangs and well.. hang at the most crucial moment - when I was driving and trying to set it to 'speaker phone' mode. Pressing the left-green-phone button for more than 3 seconds and it resets!!! Rebooting and rebooting. Each time I have to enter the PIN number (and the origanizer password as well). Try viewing photos? Have yet to find a way to scroll between previous-next photos. Wonder why have buttons when you can program them to do simple tasks. O2.. Oh Oh...

  • What is the latest update that your talking for?

  • how is the display of this phone? is it better then qtek9100? because it say 256k 240*320 screen resolution.

  • The tap screen sounds very bad (like radio parasite voice). Is it due something wrong in this program or all Atom Exec sound like this or, only mine that I chose a bad one? I'm not satisfied with this device because usually it does not work properly, freezing, slow or stuck.

  • To set ring tones. You need to copy and paste the songs to the rings folder.Open the file explorer, then open the widows folder. Then the folder after programs is rings. OPen and copy the songs there. They will appear in youroption for rings.

  • Can some one please tell me how to set up a MP3 as a ringtone on this phone, the manual is not very good in this aspect, and im getting frustrated with not being able to do this Cheers Thomo (australia)

  • Anyone knows the wap and MMS settings for this phone, from T-Mobile USA. Thanks in advance.

  • I just bought a mighty atom and think its the greatest PDA ever. i guess i'm lucky cos' mine came already installed with the latest update. only hangup is the batery life. i sync constantly though with my laptop so i dont mind.

  • Battery life is very poor rest of other features are excellent.

  • at least u are better than me.. they still change for you .. mine already sent in 3 times, the problem still the same.. sad:(

  • Never buy an O2 atom. Mine got exchanged 3 times already because it never worked properly, always freezing, bad reception, crap speakerphone, and very slow. Hate them

  • I have been using o2 atom exec for over 2 months. I like this phone a lot. pros: size and weight good phone reception Cons: Audio quality on speakers (worst) Keyboard provided is useless. Overall if you need a PDA phone that can fit into your pocket, this is the phone. If size does not matter, you have many other options.

  • why dont XDA Atom comp go for hot plug n play like motorola l7, why dont XDA Atom comp go 5mp camera like nokia n95, why dont XDA Atom comp go for good battery support, why dont XDA Atom comp go for good bluetooth device like sony eric walkman dam good speed, if pple like me show mobile feels good but, if they say to transfer some thing it takes time, if they say to play some vedio after some time its gives battery indication, ask for photo from my big ass display its seems it good but its not as good as sony eric 3mp camera also colour diff, very less themes and softwares but i am happy but not much

  • this unit sux.just bought it one month and i hv sent back to the service center twice.the problem still haven't solve. dissapointed .. going to sent in again ..

  • hey... can anyone help? i would like to know whether the sms messenges can be stored in the memory card ?

  • Can anyone help me? After flashing my O2 to the latest software, the reception sucks so bad, more then half the time I have no reception at all! Can someone advise me what I can do to to resolve this? Thanks!

  • Very disappointing experience.. I will return the device tomorrow. Spent the last 3 days trying to get it to sync, which would not work on my PC or Laptop and neither using USB nor Bluetooth. I read probably all the forums that are out there and tried lots of things including turning off the firewall or allowing ActiveSync access in the firewall. Nothing worked. Then, while trying to chose a picture from the mini SD card as background for the Today screen, the device just switched off. Turning on produced the blue O2 screen twice and since then I can not even do a hard reset. I guess this is what happens when you bring a product to market without sufficient testing.

  • When will O2 release Atom Exec-like with better RAM, better battery life and HSDPA.... Ups i mean Quanta ;P

  • I don't know why they did not but the latest technology where are the Latest Technology ?!!! 1.Wi-Fi should be 802.11g 2.Camera should be more than 3MP 3.Bluetooth should v 2.0 4.RAM should more than 64MB examble(4GB) 5.Should be the 3G mobile This is the best for buying the PDA+Mobile

  • Chuck - a possible solution.... If you chose "Use specific IP address" for the 'O2 Wireless WiFi Adaptor' network card, apart from setting the gateway address to suit your router (and the mask), you will also need to 'Name Servers' tab and enter your routers address for the DNS entry. For example, if your router has an address of 192.168.0.1, and your exec was set to 192.168.0.20, you would need to make the following settings: IP Address Tab:- IP Address: 192.168.0.20 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Name Server Tab:- DNS: 192.168.0.1 leave the other entries blank. Hope this helps. Regards Clive.

  • hi,i just brought myself a new atom exec and did a rom upgrade as advised from the official o2 site and now my phone hangs when i put the camera on. the incoming call noise level is so low even at maximum throttle. the reception quality is so poor in elevators and buildings :( can anyone suggest any form of hack or trick that could get things right,or i if some one has a backed up copy of the earlier rom version which more stable,i would gladly except.i am so disappointed that such an expensive device shows such malfunctioning after a software upgrade:(

  • hey ppl iv tred to sign in to msn but i cant do u need a software fer tht if yes plz can ny one temme!!!!! which one is it and its urgent

  • I am thinking of buying one PDA and tossing between i-mate K-Jam and O2 Atom Exec. I will be using it primarily for Phone, sms, Calendar, contacts and offline emails with my work server. Any advise as to which one I should consider here in australia? Cher

  • This is a greatest phone, i think so!

  • I'm pretty disappointed by the Atom exec because the keyboard is totally useless. It is some US$100 dearer from the regular Atom. The Wifi works OK at home since I have a wifi router at home. In general OK but I wish I had bought the HP6828.

  • If you turn off this phone you will get plenty of time. If you do not need to use this device as a phone then this device will last a long time with the battery it has but if you use the phone or turn on the phone service then it will eat your battery up pretty quick.

  • urgent help wanted! guys does ny1 know how to hide files n' folders in windows mobile 5? do i need any special software? if yes, where can i dwnld it 4 free?....plz respond asap

  • Great phone, however as a business user the battery life is pathetic. I get at most 2 hours using the phone if I am lucky. This is a major issue, have 10 of these and cannot wait to get rid of them as have to carry at least three batteries with me if I am on the road. Getting a spare battery charger is almost impossible, trying for two months in Australia. O2 support is also hopeless, never follow up, bad information, speak to 5 different people and have to explain the same things. I suppose if you have the phone plugged into power all the time it is great, however I have a notebook computer that costs only $500 more and it lasts for 6 hours on battery !!!!!!

  • oh..can any one help me with the problem with the screen !

  • Is anyone having problem with the screen?? i just bought few days ago.. anyone have the same problem ??

  • hi can somebody help me out for the MMS settings for the o2 as i am using HUTCH in karnataka so please help me out ......sandeep

  • if anybody is having problems with the wireless connection, please check are you trying to connect to a wireless G? Because the Atom can only connect to wireless B.

  • Used the phone for a week now. The only problem I have still having is the WiFi. I can't connect with the internet. The phone found the wireless connection but when I tried to Browse there's an error saying "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again". Does anyone have this problem and know how to solve? Many Thanks.

  • hi I wanna Konw that if this phone has high quality sound throug stereo speaker is louder than a phone like nokia 3250 and i wanna know that if the phone has a good built in hands-free and does it support 3.5mm earphone jack?

  • erm .. I have own this phone for more then three weeeks now nothing downside but battery life span are quite ok and then the sync not a problem most of the software support just 1 problem is that the stereo headset that come with are terrible .. so hope o2 saw this ..

  • I had phone for a week battrey life is terrible.As soon as you get few phone calls battrey drains like crazy.Is it me or someone else has the same problem I am thinking of returning it.

  • i see it as a very good product kudos to the makers

  • Been using the phone for 2 weeks now. Overall, the best phone I've used to date. However, I had some problems synching my phone to my PC.... for those facing the same problems, here are a couple of tips for you. Make sure you've downlaoded the Activesync 4.1 or 4.2 version. Disable your Anti Virus and firewall. That should do the trick.

  • Hi all, i had the 02 Atom and all i can say that was big problem and all the important stuff still is not resolved with it. it can't even rechage with a car recharger loose signal and you have to reset your Atom and wait 5 mins to get signal...to say the least i was pissed off with it even with the current rom updates this was not fixed. I sold it and now waiting patiently for SE P990 to come to Australia and yes its out. if want a good quality ph no problems best 2mp camera and build quality second to none. and the back battery cover that does not just come off with a slight push. get the SE P990 or save for it. you will not have to buy another one for a long time. Oh buy the way O2 do not make the Atom its made by cheap Quanta who also rebadges the ph to HP. Dont say i did not warn you. :-) dont be an idiot read other forums as well.

  • O2 is a very good phone once you get used to it. Skype runs fine on it with ADSL high speed wifi. could use more internal memory for programs that run better on internal install instead of memory card. I use 2 gig card no problems. Camera is just so so and runs slow. worst feature on the O2. windows 5.0 is smooth with newest version. Phone quality is good. Does not have auto answer however useful with blue tooth headset. Sound quality is great and in stereo. I would recomend this PDA phone to high tech users. I is a very powerful device in a very small pkg.

  • Currently no planned uk release date on this handset may not be avaliable within the UK , As currently the XDA Atom is only avaliable on o2 germany

  • Does VNC and Putty run on this PDA phone? We need it for remote administration. Please post your comment or email me your comments... thanks in advance.

  • I currently have an XDAII and want to buy either the Atom Exec or XSAIIi. Which one do you think is better and why as far as speed and memory?

  • This is for the bro(?) who wants a 818pro over a Exec: Forget 818pro, unless you just want to save a few bucks. This is everything better but price. I when to 4 stores today asking about 818pro with skype, and none of them care to notice Skype only runs at or over 300MHz, all except one honest salesman at the end. So I'm willing to save one more month just to get my hands on this puppy. My two cents.

  • Check out the review at

  • Compare to Atom, can anyone please advise if there is any improvements in call reception for the Atom Exec? My friend is using the older Atom and he always cannot hear me well. A good phone is an important Pda feature for me. Still considering Dopod 818pro, HPrw6828...very very hard to make decision.

  • hey.... if any1 wans t9 ponepad for your exec, e mail me at [email protected]

  • Can anyone tell me if O2 Atom Exec is compatable to synchronise with iMac Intel Duo Core?

  • The Atom Exec has been availabe in HK for over 2 weeks, with the Chinese OS version came out just a few days back. The IR keyboard that comes with the package is really cool, but I'm want to read more reviews before making a decision. In HK, the O2 Atom was widely regarded as a more expensive China made option with bugs compare to the Taiwan made Dopod 813pro.

  • heloo everybody please help me for buy a phon i want buy o2 xda atom exec but im in the iran may i work o2 phon in the iran please answer my opinion

  • is there any emulator of O2 Xda Atom Exec to run j2me application

  • Does this phone allows fax to be send - like imate jamin

  • does this phone has a facility where by if u want to ass a number to the existing contact it can be added by keying the number on the screen . or do v have to seperately add it

  • loz again, i agree this pda sync better with windows, but u can sync it with a mac. u use a software called missing sync for mac. not as smart as windows, but u can sync all imp details

  • loz again, Unfortunately, Pocket PCs synchronise better with PC Windows rather than Mac. They use Windows Mobile (by Microsoft) and synchronise calendars and contacts via Outlook (anothe Microsoft software).

  • one more too- my home computer is mac, does anyone have mac and pc pda and how compatible are they? really want one of these phones they are hot

  • Hi, This is a great phone, looks good and is feature rich, Still i think it is priced more than it is worth off. Also i dont know why gsmarena experts do not do a review on the O2 models we would like to know more from the real experts there are not many sites like this and there are more expectation from this site i beleive. Hope this is heard and a review is done on 02 exec model. I like this phone and will soon buy it. just waiting for a positive review.

  • Thanx allan

  • toto, the differences btwn atom n atom exec is just the processor speed n the ROM n couple of software. roshan, go to www.seeo2.com, click on singapore sites, then go look for atom exec n then "where to buy", it shud says all those places where atom exec is being sold.

  • Hi ! You guys, somebody knows what is different between Atom and Atom Exec ? Thank you.

  • Heard this is loaded with Microsoft� Outlook Mobile with Direct to Push Technology. Is this the same technology as blackberry? will this circumvent the roaming charges one incures when checking emails outside home area?

  • Is the Atom GPS compatible and if it is, can you get a GPS receiver for it??

  • why dis fone doesnt support 3G ????

  • To STEF u can download skype for pda (windows mobile) and use it when u connect the atom exec to the internet thru wifi or gprs. connection will be better if u connect via high speed wifi.

  • Does this phone have Skype phone calls? Please Help ASAP! From Stef

  • Seems like the ultimate PDA on spec alone now it has the upgrades with speed ect ....... went to Teltra and they had never heard of it! we need to wait for someone to use one - the negatives seem to be the lack of key board? Is it stable?

  • Since this is Atom edition 2, I hope all the bugs that were there in previous Atom have been sorted out. Quanta is definitely coming in par with HTC.

  • This PDA phone will be available in Singapore on mid July'06.

  • URGENTLY need review comments from someone who has just bought it. PLAN to buy it soon. Please please post some PERFORMANCE reviews soon....

  • what is this ?seems like atom to me.

  • the phone is cool. i wish could have it but i dont think i can afford it. 02 is simply the best

  • Screen res same as std atom. Higher Rom @192 and faster processing speed @ 512!!! Ultimate PDA phone to date. Bring it Oz NOW!!!

  • wow, diz fone haz 256k color screen!!!!
