Prizefight: O2 Xda Atom Life vs. HTC P3600i

Judges: Damian Koh and John Chan

If you are looking for a compact Windows Mobile PDA-phone, chances are you would have considered both the O2 Xda Atom Life and Dopod D810 at some point. Both these handhelds are armed to the teeth with features and yet manage to maintain their svelte form factors.

The Dopod D810 has recently been replaced by the HTC P3600i. There is no external change in this upgrade, but the newer model comes with more internal flash memory and a faster processor. So, even though the HTC is much newer, it is essentially the same handheld with a few tweaks. Because of that, it doesn't become an obvious choice over the Atom Life because there is no great leap in features. Their prices are also quite similar, another important factor when buying a new handheld.

So, in the interest of those making a choice between these two hot PDA-phones, the Atom Life and P3600i, we have put them in the ring for a fight to the death. Okay, not quite to the death, perhaps to the point where noses are bloody, just before permanent brain damage.
