User Review for O2 Xda Atom
After using for almost 2 years - as problematic as it gets
Apr 11, 2008Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: What can i say? More of a eye candy of a design
Cons: Almost unusable state as it aged >2 yrs
Opinion:
I've been using the O2 Atom for almost 2 years.At first,it displayed minor and irrevelant bugs that didnt affect much of day-to-day usage.
That was then the previous ROM which was preloaded before i upgraded to the newer one(to date) back then.
Now,with the newer ROM - i really have to agree with the users here with their complains of problems and unreliability.
Anyway,with my Atom aging 2 years and up,it's almost unusable for everyday usage.Sometime for some reason the phone can decide NOT to process(sent) SMSes and even calls.
Instead the messages will simply stay in the Outbox folder while the calls are ended abrubtly as soon as u press the green phone icon.
Another user has also encountered this problem.
Then.the OS itself has it's share of glitches - sometime when u soft reset the Atom it cant even boot up properly.
And if u overload the button,the phone will go to "dead" mode whereby u can only re-use it after a Cold Reset.
