Advantage of Atom over mini :-
- WM5
- Wifi
- Radio
- EDGE
- 262k Colour
- 2.0MP
- 128 ROM
- Smaller form factor
Look good on paper but in reality there lot to be desire :-
(Excerpt from user from PPPSG forum)
- Battery cover loose issue
- Very Slow (Slower than mini 2X)
- Buggy
- 8-10 rings before the phone actually sounds
- And playin an MP3 ringtone from the mini sd card is HORRIBLE, it jerky!
- With two tiny speaker infront and the ringtone could not be hear clearly. Distortion and cracking can be hear. Sound MAX out.
- RADIO.... bad... noise and flat sound.
- Touch Screen response is poor and retarted.
- Piano Black plastic body. Cheapo.. Finger PrintProne. Easy scratch and crack.
- Poor Quality EarPiece. Doesn't fit well and keep dropping.
- Checksum Failure issue
- Hang a lot
- Take 3-5 minute to boot up when reset.
- Poor 2.0 Camera
They have some ROM update by now to rectify some issue. But already too much damage is done to regain user confidence. Recommend you to go for Dopod 818 pro or the faster Eten M600 if you decide to upgrade.
Agree with MR-2. So many issues yet to be rectified. I've already lost confidence in the initial O2 Atom release. Prior to this I was so excited about the new device as I've found buyers for my O2 Mini. Now I'd rather keep my Mini..."Potong Stim"

It took them 2 days to change the covers including some minor services... e.g updating ROM, software...

think needs around 5 hrs only if wanna change the housing only
Is changing the housing really that quick? I hope the devices come back without extra scratches or anything......

Can o2 xda mini OS be upgraded to wm5 (if in the future ms stabilized the operating system) ?
where can i find the original PPC 2002 for the first edition of o2 XDA ?
i accidentally overwrite the ROM with newer OS and now the newer OS is buggy with the unit?
does Sis or the service center at Time square provide this rescue service to my XDA (first bulky version)
sorry for out of topic on xda 1
O2 Mini cannot be upgraded as the ROM is only a puny 64mb, half of the requirement needed for WM5........

same goes to u...
Thats what they quoted me for front and back casing....i called this girl answered @ the number and gave me the quotation....i don't think it includes the plastics and other parts...the complete replacement is rm245 as someone quoted here...
I just got my skin laminated oso @ lowyat....workmanship so-so lar...but im looking for plain skins...anyone here knows where got more design choices....
Its cool if we can get new black casings like the limited edition mini's...hehehe..then donneed to spend more for it
I think i quoted here for RM245 or something like that for the full housing change....But that was at least 4-5 months ago. Im not sure if the price has dropped.....
