Hi guys,
I've only noticed this forum over the last two days (and only decide I was getting an XDA on 5th July) but I have found it to be very friendly (unlike certain xbox forums) and I think you guys want to make us n00bs enjoy our XDA. Here we go then
I've decided to opt for an XDA IIi over the IIs due to the better proccessor.
So, I'm going to get one over Ebay unless someone on here can help.
So it's likely to be running WM 2003 so is there a thread on how to update it (english lang). Any decent apps and whats the latest version of Quake??? I love that game
So, Thanks guys
I have heard rumors about magicians latest model coming soon at the end of this year with 128mb rom 64 mb ram wifi sliding keyboard and same as size as jam....If some one has any latest news about this kindly confirm....i am looking forward to buy it
Same here.Theres loads coming out about the universal,but personally it is far too big for everyday use.This latest jam looks like the best bet and yet theres not much on the net about it yet
It'll come but it'll take a long time to reach the UK no doubt.. I'm not holding my breath, and the current magician is very good in the interim anyway
prob be out sometime nxt year, just before wm06 comes out, so it will not have and there will be no way for us to upgrade to it etc etc
hi all .I,m thinking of bying the xda atom and i made a litle research over the internet ,so i found this site with reviews and i was very disappointing with what i read for this device(http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001707,39095540p,00.htm)
so i want to ask you if you are satisfied with this device and about the service. i am an ex-owner of qtek 9000 that was not very good for me and i sold it.i,m looking for something like ATOM .THE problem is here in Greece we do not have any O2 service .
thank you
*SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
Yes I would buy it now.
If you bought the Atom when it was first released like I did, it had ALOT of problems and issues.
However, with all the new firmware releases, the Atom is now a stable and good product. You will find most of the complaints was based on the early release product.
If you buy the Atom, just make sure it has the latest released firmware installed, don't buy if it is "old" stock without the latest firmware upgrades.
While you can upgrade the firmware yourself, I have seen some posts about not being able to upgrade the firmware due to region issues I think.
Experimenter, that's just because they don't know how to put it in bootloader mode. So the installed ROM doesn't matter. I love my Atom!
Also love my Atom MORE NOW
Hi Mastiff,
Do you mind telling me where did you buy your Atom please?
Regards
JoseF
i bought my atom just last week in HongKong... coming from P800 and P900... i love the atom!
This free update will be available to all current Atom Life users, and will involve either a download from the O2 Web site or a visit to one of its service centers.
The upgrade will change the operating system on the Atom Life from Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition to Windows Mobile 6 (WM6) Professional. One significant improvement in WM6 is the ability to receive and send emails in HTML format.
Available from May 12, the Atom Life will become one of the first commercially-available Windows Mobile products to sport the newer OS. Atom Life handhelds sold in stores from June onwards will also be preloaded with WM6. In comparison, Dopod, which will be acquired by HTC, will be upgrading its selected devices to WM6 in July.
Furthermore, the enhancements in the O2 Atom Life like O2 SMS Plus and O2 MediaPlus have been tested on the new OS, and will still be available on the Atom Life after the upgrade.
In addition, O2 said it is testing WM6 on its upcoming Xda Flame as well, and that the rest of its products to be launched in 2007 will also sport the new OS.
At press time, O2 was not able to confirm if its other handhelds like the Zinc and Graphite would get the WM6 upgrade as well.

I suggest everyone to go to http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001709,62011618,00.htm and send them feedback regarding the news they have posted. At least CNet will go bother O2 for us (if a lot of us annoyed CNet enough, heh he).
Can the first person to update PLEASE post here?
Also can we change the topic to "WM6 available FOR Atom Life" hehe
Can't wait, I'm picking up my new Atom Life tomorrow!!!!!!!
Damm it. It already close to end of the day here and still no news from O2 site!!!
14 May 2007--As of today, the update to WM6 is still unavailable on O2's Web site or at its service centers. O2 has informed CNET Asia that this is due to a delay in the approval process with Microsoft. The company hopes to release the update before the end of the week, but was unable to be more specific about exactly which day this will occur.
refer to CNET asia website::
http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001709,62011618,00.htm
It's getting closer: the page for WM6 ROM upgrade is up at the official website:
http://www.seeo2.com/user/XdaAtomLife/template/XdaAtomLife_WM6_May2007_WWE.vm
I can see "Get the latest patches, utilities, software and upgrades here". in O2 site.
Still cannot download. Nothing there.
Wow, this topic is getting hot. I was contacted by CNet Asia about O2 delaying the release and hoping to tell you guys but it seems like someone else beat me to it.
Heh he... let see who'll the first to post when he/she successful upgraded to WM6.... but sigh.... I'll be outstation for a week. Waaaa
Xda Atom Life WM6 ROM Upgrade
O2 looks forward to bringing you the benefits of Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system.
Do check back at this page over the next few days for when this exciting upgrade will be available.
Long long way to wait for a such upgrade package.
It seems like CNet is playing a major role in pushing O2 to inform us of the update progress.
I wounder if we could ask CNet to help us push O2 to hear our plight for other fixes.
hi but does anyone know if it could be use for Atom Exec?
Confirmed By O2 Hong Kong WM6 upgrade will be released within May 2007.

Err... if you would like to disable your Atom Exec... then you can try flashing it.
Anyway, unless someone here in the forum help you cook the ROM, then the answer is, No.
Hey guys, I installed the energy rom on my HTC TOUCH HD months ago, and haven't really had any problems. Anyway, last week I got a warning that my trial will expire on May 1st. I didn't really think much of it, but at May 1st, my phone just says I need to visit the website I got my trial release form and get the latest version.
Anyway, I'm asking what I have to do? Should I just install a new ROM? If I do, I've been looking around and the Android rom looks appealiong, but I was just wondering if anyone could offer me the best rom that won't expire that just makes my HTC TOUCH HD damn amazing and easy to use?
Thanks alot!!
