Review of the O2 XDA Atom Mobile
Overview
The O2 XDA Atom Life enters the Indian market as part of O2's strategy to diversify its product segments: performance, lifestyle, messaging, hybrids, and smartphones. Positioned in the lifestyle category, this device boasts stylish looks and impressive multimedia capabilities. At its launch in Mumbai, Mark Billington, CEO of O2 Asia Pacific and the Middle East, highlighted its dual functionality for work and play. We decided to put these claims to the test.
Packed with Features
The O2 XDA Atom Life is a tri-band GSM phone with GPRS and EDGE support. Its built-in Wi-Fi makes it ideal for checking emails on the go, although GPS is not pre-installed, an external receiver can be added. The device supports 3G, featuring a front VGA camera for seamless video calls, and the voice reception during calls is clear.
Running on Windows Mobile 5, it includes mobile versions of Microsoft Office apps, ensuring productivity on the move. In addition, preinstalled applications like O2 AutoConfig, O2 AutoInstall, O2 Connect, and O2 MediaPlus enhance functionality. O2 Connect offers software updates via GPRS, while MediaPlus provides a unified interface for accessing music, videos, and photos.
You can manage your emails and chat via PocketMSN, and Internet browsing is smooth with Internet Explorer. The Windows Media Player 10 and Microsoft ActiveSync enhance connectivity to your PC. Powered by an Intel XScale PXA 270 processor at a remarkable 624 MHz, the phone handles multitasking with ease. It features 64 MB RAM and 1GB of internal storage, expandable via a MiniSD card slot.
Camera
The 2-megapixel camera captures decent images with resolutions from 80x60 to 1600x1200. It also includes an LED flash and a self-portrait mirror.
Design
While the Atom Life might initially resemble other O2 models, subtle differences become apparent. Its glossy black plastic screen houses the in-call speaker grille with status lights: green for standby, red for charging, and blue for Bluetooth. Volume controls are on the left, and camera and record buttons on the right. The front panel includes call accept/reject and media player shortcut keys. Weighing 145 grams, it combines lightness with a sleek form factor, making it a stylish accessory.
Areas for Improvement
Although marketed as a multimedia PDA, the device’s SRS-WOW surround speakers could be louder. The glossy finish is prone to fingerprints, and the chrome plating around the stylus holder wears with use. The 2.7-inch LCD, while striking, lacks clarity and has poor viewing angles, affecting photo and video quality.
Verdict
The O2 XDA Atom Life is a versatile device that excels in both business and multimedia functions. While it may initially seem complex, it becomes intuitive over time, making daily tasks more manageable. Its elegant design is a testament to style and functionality, offering power at work and play.
