question for Atom Life owners

[homer285]

can Atom Life owners confirm that the LCD's are free from the horrible squealing noise? I am considering buying one.

[homer285]

I have had four Atoms replaced for the squealing LCD's and still the damn thing squeals its head off, I swore I'd never buy another O2 but the Atom Life is a good looking package, fast, plenty internal storage, WM6, improved audio, however there is no way I am spending $1000 on a squealing whaling faulty handset again especially with the customer support offered by O2! Why on earth would they continue using Quanta with all the troubles they had with the Atom and Atom Exec.

i suggest you buy o2 FLAME..it much better than all..

Yeah I've seen the Flame looks a good unit too but its just too big, so can anyone confirm the LCD's are ok?

I'm using an WM6 atom life and have found no squealing isues with it.

I suggest you surf at www.pdadb.net and do a device to device comparison... from technical specs to looks and sizes... You can even set the specs you want and list out all the options.

O2 is not the sole seller of the good stuff... if you know what I mean. :D

Good Luck!

Im wondering whats the problem really...because mine is totally awesome. I have no complain on my O2 Life even after I installed HTC Kaiser Home plugin, SPB Mobile Shell/Diary/Back Up, Resco Explorer, etc...what Im saying is that this is the best PPC/PDA I have so far....no complain. Full Stop.

Totally agree with Observer 365 - best I have owned.

No squealing, no call dropout (have prioritized GSM over 3G to avoid auto switching when 3G gets weak), only slow when i have more than 4 or 5 applications running and one is doing something (to be expected).

The only issue I have is that I have spent close to $3000 on PPCs to get here, and I spend way more time than I have available fiddling with it! Well done O2. A better device every upgrade.

I am very put off by anything made by Quanta! The Life is just the Atom with an upgraded CPU and bigger rom other than that I hear the Mobo is exactly the same....jigga jiggs is right O2 is definately not the best seller of the 'good stuff' :D Thank you for your feed back.... btw currently considering HTC Touch 2 (HTC Nike) only if its released with inbuilt GPS or the HTC Vogue if it is released with GSM functionality :( but I doubt it.

no chance I'll ever buy any Symbian especially not a mechanical one

i have been using quanta apollo for a few months now and it works flawless....
though i would not say that it is fast but then it aint slow either and the 1GB rom is a plus point with a whooping 624Mhz is another whammy
but if u ask me personally i would prefer my sister's Flame any given day the 128Mb ram does wonders (though u must not mind its huge size!)

i'm with you on that one m8
i myself have jumped the boat too WM and dont regret it a single day...
though symbian is less hassle but then it may be because it has very little productiveness and the hardware config is still so primitive(i mean the processing and RAM)
... but one thing is sure symbian os is an OS to look upto in the near
future!@!
