02 XDA Atom Exec Reviews

Just wanting to check the difference in prices I landed up at the cell shop and believe me it was probably the first time that the salesmanship got the better of my customer bargain skills. I ended up buying an O2 pure atom phone for almost 40 K. Too excited about my purchase only once I landed did I learn that Mumbai had a very niche market for these phones.

I bought an O2 Atom in a while back. Within 2 weeks the unit was broken and wouldn't turn back on. I went all the way to their repair center, and had to wait in line for over 2 hours to get service. And then they told me I'd have to come back another day. This is fine. However, when they notified me to go back, it was in the form of a specific date and specific few hours. I told the tech if I can come later since that time period was too restrictive. He wouldn't promise me anything. I'm like WTF! If the unit is fixed and is back at the repair center, why such a small window of time to pick up the unit?

Then, after I'd moved t, after about 2 months, the unit broke AGAIN. What an awful piece of machinary. So, I called up the O2 support line. For hours on end it was not working, or was busy. Strange isn't it? So finally, after about 20 tries, about a day later, I finally get through. The tech told me it was ok to send the unit in via postal mail.

So, off I went sending the unit to repair center. Now suddenly they refused to accept the package. Their initial claim was that there might be some sort of tariff. I called up DHL and they told me there's no such thing. No tariff was due and nobody said that to the O2 Zone repair center.

Ok so now I'm getting worried, so I called up O2 and assured them there's no tariff due, and told DHL to make sure to tell O2 that there's no tariff for accepting the unit.

DHL tries again the next day. Once again it's rejected! WTF!

All I know is, I'm NEVER EVER buying another crap from O2 again. You go ahead if you want to, but you might hear the echo I told you so later on.

O2 Xda Atom Windows Mobile phone (Pocket PC Phone) is a tiny smartphone with advanced PDA functionalites, and runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 and features 2.0-megapixel digital camera, built-in WiFi, built-in FM radio and other features of O2 Xda Mini, and most importantly share the sleek and light design of O2 Xda II Mini CNet Asia reviewed O2 Atom and gave the Atom the rating of 7.7 out of possible 10. CNet Asia concluded that the Xda Atom does look good in its piano black shiny casing with its sexy curves. It also packs all the bells and whistles that every PDA and phone user lusts for, including Microsoft’s latest Windows Mobile OS. It is, indeed, a good phone for users who favor size over an integrated keyboard. In a comparison with

its rival, the Dopod 818 Pro, the former’s processor speed and integrated FM radio give it an edge up. The Dopod 818 Pro, though, packs an SD expansion slot and quad-band GSM support as opposed to the

Atom’s triband capability.

A fast Intel processor, the latest Windows Mobile OS and a rich feature set make the Atom an almost-ideal PDA-phone for those willing to sacrifice an integrated keyboard for compactness.They should have simplified the connections type to the internet, with pop-up for user to select the available wireless connections. Other

features are good.
