  • hey guys, I am here hoping if anyone'd be able to help me with my lock thingy here.My friend was playing games in my phone and the lock set in,couldn't switch on the phone. She did not know what exactly she had done, just doing this and that with the phone. I have tried hard reset, nothing! Please somebody help! thanks.

  • Can i run various computer softwares like Tally etc..

  • this cellphone is beautifull, but, when i conect in Enterneth whit this phone, what is the

  • i completely agree with Mark Steere. I brought this phone in nearly after 1 month when it was realeased and it was working perfectly not even with a single problem till the day on which it was dropped by me in the pool. I migrated from india to USA so there was no service centers for repairing of this phone. Just because i like this phone so much i am buying a new a phone but this time it will be a MWG's atom life because MWG also provides warrenty in the US market. I like this phone because 624 mhz speed, a good quality and loud sound of the speakers and a really good quality sound of the plugins. Really compareable with ipod touch. i am saying this because i have an ipod touch too and i have really compared the volume of both of them. O2 Atom Life's sound is only compareable with the ipod touch when the "headset volume limiter" in the settings menu is set to full and the settings is set properly in the HD equilizer settings.

  • i am thinking of buying this phone. can anyone one tell me hows the phone and is it worth buying..pls reply thank you

  • This is exactly the reason some people claim that it is a slow performance pda. It's not really slow. It has a very weak battery which makes it slow. If you have it on charger while using it then it will be must faster. This is something which the O2 people have to consider. They really do very good PDAs and then after testing them they are searching for a battery. That's not the right way to test and produce.

  • Ok. Then try any HTC model. You will see the differece. The same battery lasts twice on HTC than on this and any other O2 models. I did my research and I can assure the short battery life compared to any htc pda

  • All this negativity and low ratings. I don't get it. I had an XDA Atom Life since shortly after it was released. Never had any problems. Loved the fast screen tap response time. You hit "Loudspeaker" and it goes to loudspeaker. Boom. Right away. I gave the Life to my girlfriend and I bought the Eten Glofiish X800 for its 640x480 screen. Nice screen, but the 520 MHz processor makes it noticeably slower to respond to screen taps than the 620 MHz processor of the XDA Atom Life. You sit there and count the seconds until it changes to loudspeaker. It's torture when you're trying to answer a call with loudspeaker. One more thing: the stereo speakers on the front of the Life sound *much* better for voice and my assorted ring tones than the tinny, crappy single speaker on the back of the X800 and most other cellphones. I liked the Windows Mobile 6.0 on the X800 more than the 5.0 version on the Life. Now the perfect phone is available: the XDA Comet which I will now order. I don't use my cellphone to take pictures, play MMPGs, or combat international spies. I just use it to make and receive calls. As a cellphone used only as a cellphone, with a small form factor and smooth edges to carry in your pocket, you can't do better than the Life/Comet. I get a new cellphone every few months whether I need it or not. I'll probably keep the Comet a little longer, until something else better, with at least as fast of a processor comes out, which may be a while.

  • o2 comet. search google for o2 atom life and you will see all the complaints. type: o2 atom life complaints, issues, problems, user reviews and check it out. many, many issues. The comet is the same phone as the atom life, just comet (for europe) and life (for asia pacific) .. both same and no doubt both with same problems. check the net for yourself and see what i mean.

  • I forgot to mention as a warning to those even in the slightest considering buying an Atom XDA life pda phone or the atom exec or any pda, added to the list below. the phone is not as fast as the makers claim in fact its bloody slow! and the phone freezes constantly. I mean, the phones buttons stopped working soon after i bought the phone. This phone is extremely poor and i would encourage people to start making videos and posting to sites like youtube and getting out there that O2 need to be taught a consumer backlash and lesson about rolling out highly overpriced products (I paid AUD$1150 for my O2 life x 2). SEE MY VIDEO Cheers EmailAngry O2 exec atom l 2007-12-11 14:34 RxcH Guys .. you should see the reviews of the O2 atom, the O2 exec and especially the O2 life. Do a simple search eg. o2 atom life then add user reviews, complaints, problems, issues etc. in google. wow. i was amazed. Id bought 1 atom exec, the phone had problems then i bought another 2 atom xda life phones for my business and the longest life i had out of the 3 phones is 4 months. I mean this xda pda had everything go wrong from loose screen, to buzzing speakers, no sound, constant hard resets, dropouts of calls, poor battery, poor photos etc. then i searched to see what others were saying about the O2 atom life and i couldnt believe it. Not only is the phone getting a roasting on this website but check out zdnet australia, cnet asia and cnet and mobile asia and other websites and you will see the o2 phones are rating below 5 out of 10 with a LOT OF ANGRY users out there. check youtube.com and you will see videos being put on there eg. search O2 atom life

  • this is not made by O2, if you are so smart you need to know that, it is made by quanta computers taiwan

  • This is the same as the O2 XDA Atom Life except for the matt finish. This was the German release. Hope O2 would have fixed most of the issues that was there in Atom life, with this device.

  • for all u dump ppl (who pretend to be smart) XDA Comet is maby by o2 NOT HTC! 2) o2 Asia and o2 Europe make different phones, this is just the same XDA atom life (asian o2) being sold under new name in Europe >_

  • 1gb of rom and 64mb of ram ONLY!???? u HTC gone nuts?? shouldn't u at least think of balancing the hardware configs?? Shame on u!

  • By releasing this phone O2 are just confirming that they know that the Atom Life was a total lemon. But the battery was just one of about a thousand problems.
