My wife’s new toy, the atom.


After much persuasion from me, the devil, my wife bought the O2 Atom. I used it for a day; the screen resolution is good, smaller in size as compare to my wife P900. The weight is almost the same. The good things is that it has a FM radio, tried it, not bad, it’s just that you will need to insert the stereo headset in order to use it. I guess the headset is the antenna. Once the radio is on you could open up its stereo speaker that resides near the button, the quality is not bad.

The 2 mega pixel camera looks good, it has a flashlight. Its not auto, you will need to set it to on manually. The picture looks good slightly better than P900 within the phone itself however I have not upload it to the PC so it’s quite difficult to compare. All the other features are like any other PDA.

The battery life last around 2 days (the max) with it on 24 hours. I believe the battery is still new hence it has not reached it "true" potential. The Wifi is not as good as I wants it to be. I have tried to connect to the existing connection that we have but its quite difficult. I only managed to connect once when I am there. It could be the signal is not strong or its antenna is not as good as those found in notebook.

It cost 31,900 baht with 512 Megabyte. We managed to get VATs refund of about 1,950 baht. So far there is no complaint from my wife yet or is there??? ….

Nocturnale, I think smaller than O2 Mini. This is suppose to replace O2 mini.

Raymond, if you are malaysian you should buy from Malaysia. As now the price back here is Rm2988 with 512 mb and free bluetooth head set. If you buy in thailand the only differrence could be the exchange rate only.
