CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Stylish design; 1GB flash memory; faster processor compared with the Atom Exec; plentiful connectivity features including 3G and HSDPA; proprietary software that enhances user experience. 8
out of 10View score
The bad: Fingerprint magnet; sub-par audio quality; difficult to feel buttons on the sides; narrow viewing angle on LCD.
The bottom line: The Xda Atom Life is one of the most full-featured handhelds we've come across, but it does come with a premium price tag.

Oct 28, 2008Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Very fast and capable
Cons: Frequent Hang and Locks with O2 supplied applications - O2 theme
Opinion:
All negative comments from earlier user reviews are true. But why I rate it 7-Very Good?
Yes, it hangs and locks forcing me to reboot WHEN I have O2 theme installed which has battery meters, new date/clock screen and a whole bunch of other applications. And Yes, it hangs when you are playing some of WM2003 games (Emperor's Mahjong, Lemonade Tycoon etc) and somebody ring you.
But, if you do not load the O2 theme and use the classic Today screen, its a very decent PDA phone. It play multi-media smooth and newer games fast and battery life is surprisingly long.
I played 60 minute game / multi-media and the phone is still capable of making / receiving many calls. And it has 1G ROM and fast CPU, PXA624. 2.0Mega Pixel camera with photo-light.
So if you don't need GPS, Toch-Flo, and other fancy stuff and just want a decent Windows mobile PDA phone, I ... Read more
Fastest WM device in town, Value for money!
Aug 4, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: fastest processor, improved battery life, 1GB memory, and good value
Cons: no longer o2 branded, alittle heavy
Opinion:
I've been lucky enough to get my hands on the MWg Atom Life after the O2 Atom Life, and not sure what MWg has done but the issues that bloggers were complaining about, i.e. poor battery life, have been resolved!
and if you are not brand conscious, and are looking for substance at good value, this is it. It's got a great processor, good memory and expandable, the usual office programs.
Only downside is it can be alittle heavy if you compare this to the tin-can light ericssons and samsungs. but then again, this does so much more, what's alittle weight.
