and you can see that the result of the test is kinda of different...

Anyway which one do you think is better?

because i have O2 mini but recently it has some problem like if i change the battery (i have 2 batteries) my O2 hard resetted and i already send it to my provider and they already help me changed a new backup battery but the problem still exist and i dont know why... that's why i considering to sell it... too bad :? coz i really love my mini :(

Atom was very slow in the beginning. But improves quite a lot after the rom update. I've been playing it for a week since my friend just brought one and need to install software for him. I don't have a 818pro to compare but here is what I feel compare to Mini. (using the latest leaked rom)

1. Atom is quite fast and responsive. But I still feel mini is a bit faster (especially multiple apps are running)

2. At first, I thought the .1 inch smaller in screen is not noticeable. But it does! (especially using it as GPS).

3. The shorter dimension make it easier for me to keep in the pocket. And I am staring to like the plastic suface because it is not as slippy as the mini.

4. A2DP is working fine but the quality is really bad and not justify for me to give up the wired solution.

5. Camera is slow (I mean it!!!) and impossible to take a good pic in without good lighting

6. I don't like the way that the mic is disable when I plug-in an adapter into the 2.5mm jack. (The mic of mini still working if we plug an 3 (not 4) poles adapter into the jack)

7. Wifi is very convenient if U need to online all the time.

Based on the review I read so far, I won't recommend 818pro due to the slowness of it's CPU.

you said you replaced the main battery... that means you have it repaired and they replace the backup battery with new one right?

Yeah 818 pro camera is the best among the pda phone right now... but the cpu is worst :?
and i dont really get what you mean with the number 6... :shock: ??

and how about ETEN M550? is it good? coz in the website of my first post they said M550 is good...
