O2 Xda Atom Life Images

By Alex Kidman on 02/05/2007

More O2 reviews , RRP: AU$1299.00

The good:

  • Fast application response
  • O2 MediaPlus Package works nicely
  • Loud stereo speakers

The bad:

  • Small touchscreen icons demand stylus
  • Loud stereo speakers
  • Low battery life

The bottomline:

The Atom Life tries very hard to bridge the gap between serious business tools and lifestyle gadgets. It's surprising, then, that it's a better business tool than fun phone.

      Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.
