See videos on youtube what these phones are like.

Sep 6, 2008

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything.
Opinion:
what more can i say. was burnt by the O2 atom xda life. had xda II and excellent but had atoms, then bought two life phones by O2 for my business and had problems from day 1.

if you want to see FACTUAL examples of videos and the problems ive had see the link below.

www.youtube.com...
apparantly these phones are based on the old life and are probably just the same crap in different clothing. O2 lost my business so why would i have wanted to buy something from MWg. The business O2 Asia was sold to MWg and probably the same old thinking stayed with the transition as well as the product but for all i know i got BURNT by the O2 atom life and never want to buy anything labelled O2, ATOM, XDA or life ever again. In summary, it didnt give me a life as promised.

 

Slim device, good size for GPS

Jul 29, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: GSM Quad band, thin and 3.5G, upgradable to WM6.1
Cons: longish form factor, could have been alittle shorter
Opinion:
For once, there's a device that is slim even with GPS offering, fits quite well into pocket, though you might want to get a screen protector to keep the flat panel scratch free.

it's upgradable to WM6.1, but I would advise against it, as with all WM improvements, they are usually not significant.

 

This device is the worst device ive ever used

Jul 9, 2008

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: NONE...MWg copies this device....in the activesync its also displayed as gigabyte
Cons: very very poor signal...messaging problems....poor service centre 48 dollars just to get the device checked
Opinion:
Ok ... im a gadget freak and ive changed my mobile phones dozens of times and this is the worst pda ive ever used

i dont understand why the signal reception is so poor when compared to other nokia phones....sometimes i have to restart several times to get it right

also have a messaging problem...messages sent to me when my handphone is off are lost forever....usually messages sent when the phone is off will be pending and will be received when we turn on the phone...my device doesnt

ive hard reset several times and upgraded the ROM and still the same problem...this phone makes me feel unsafe coz i dont know wheter i receive message or not

tried to go to funan MWg service centre and they asked for 48 dollars JUST to CHECK the phone and thats only check and not repairs...

and the worst thing is .... why the hell did they copy ... Read more

 

below par

May 27, 2008

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: nil
Cons: big, backdated ID
Opinion:
poor customer uptake is good to sum up this brand & model

 

its ok but not as good as atom life

May 8, 2008

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: 64 mb is avalable not 48 mb
Cons: ram not as good as 128mb
Opinion:
i really dont like this. Guys do you know that this device has been copied from gigabyte gsmart ms700. i dont think mwg is capable of making its own devices they are dependent on other companies, that is why the processor is limited only to 520mhz, same as the gsmart's ms700. this is really disaponting for me because the O2 was one of my favorite company but this is like spoiling there own reputation.
