Hey...

The scene here is getting pretty glum here, aint it? How many of you all think so or otherwise?!

Same old bl00dy roms with only version "number" changes, no real upgrades, same old same old same old cr@p.

I'm getting real bored with Uni, and theres no real device upgrade as well to it...and looks like MS has taken a complete time out in updating their OS...nothings changed since years if you look at it....ppc2003, wm5, wm6....all minor upgrades here and there, nothing break through types....

Everyday i check the forums atleast twice, and the activity is slowly dying too....nothing major, guess its the end of the road for the Uni.....sighhh...

oh! i didnt mean to offend the cookers in any way!

Heres the angle im coming from....
My frustrations are mainly from MS :-/
They hardly seem to be making any changes to the OS. When i talk about new rom version numbers, i mean MS releasing updates with no changes....im not refering to rom cookers with new versions.

Also, the other angle is with googles new announcement, the android....i dont want google taking over because MS is being lazy and doing nothing but sitting on their asses now :(

cheers,
And i definitely appreciate all rom cookers efforts, as a matter of fact, they're the only ones keeping the platform alive...

Dude, if are bored with ROMs, do something else on your universal. Get some new apps to play with. Do away with your boredom.

PS: I'm selling my atom life and again getting a new universal next week(having some hardware problems with my atom life)

Don't like WinMo, you can try Linux instead:

If you are bored, then I recommend you try some custom apps with your Uni to spruce things up a bit:

Additionally, look at the difference between 2003SE, WM5 and WM6 - Microsoft has been doing alot to improve WinMo - and with the 'threat' of the iPhone and Android (Read: the gPhone) WM7 should be awesome!!

That's what I call boring. Slowing down your PPC

I Strongly disagree. M$ did gave us:

1. persistent memory
2. battery/memorymanagement, still I like to see standard 128MB RAM at least!
3. cosmetic improvements
4. slowing down the performance compared with WM2003SE :D

Nothing more, nothing less since WM5

The cookers try to give us more then M$ ev er did. They put in what M$ didn't!

Indeed.. ;) I would have kept atom life though if quanta would have done the homework properly. Its quite a nice device and having 1GB internal memory is a BIG asset. The processor is able to play movies which are encoded at very bit rates and high resolutions so smoothly that will surely make one wonder about the capabilities of a pocket pc phone

This is not, repeat not a shot at you in any mean, but just days ago having only owned your Atom Life for less than one month and not 6 plus like me and were nothing but giddy about your purchase and now your bailing due to hardware problems. What hardware problems are you having with your Life? I am only curious for to refresh your memory I am the extremely persistent one here in Minnesota, USA who has tried 3 different rom's registry editor's etc and though the whole Metro area of St. Paul, MPLS is all 3g now I can't for the life of me, no pun inteneded, get 3 g to work on not one but 2 Atom Life's. Are you on AT&T as well and have you ever gotten the 3g to work on your Atom Life? Also, where 2 plus yrs after it's release have you been able to find a brand new UNI at a good price and which one are you getting again?Thanks, Kevin

Hi KDSKamal,

Make sure that you buy G3 Universal, so that you can have about 20MB of Flash Disk available on kdskamal's beautiful ROM! :)

Cheers,

KOR! :)

The battery connector of the Atom Life turned out to be flimsy on mine. It is on the verge of getting unusable now. My friend also has the same device and his too is little weak. The new Atom Life don't seem to suffer from this problem(since it has been rectified). Also, not all had this problem. So, the one which you buy may or may not suffer from this problem. Also, the power button sometimes works and sometimes, it doesnt.
Since the person from which I bought it is giving my money back, I'm thinking to get a brand new universal(he is a local seller in my area(nothing special))

@KOR: getting a G3 universal is tough because G3 ones only rolled out in the market when the device was new in the market. Now, its almost ~2y since it has been in this market. So, I surmise only G4s are avaliable

Hi KDSKamal,

I bought my both Universals this year at eBay. The Xda Exec was bought in February of this year and the Jasjar was bought in July of this year.

These were both brand new devices with one year warranty. When I bought them, I didn't know what G3 or G4 was, but did fell in love with Universal! :)

Best regards,

KOR! :)

@kdskamal,
In case you could not get what I was driving at being the careful type and not a huge believer in eBay I too am fed up with my not one but 2 Atom Life's that unlike your situation cannot be returned and though I am incredibly persistent sometimes too much so the fact that I cannot use the phone's advanced functions for 3 g though it should connect easily is driving me insane. To the point, can you too get me a good price on a new Uni from your contact and which one?. I have owned them all practically, JJ, EXEC,QTEK9000, YET WOULD PREFER THE EXEC OR JJ. I am being serious here so please reply or pm me. Thanks, Kevin
