Mini still selling for 2199 even atom is out. Hmm I'm thinking getting an Atom too. The only difference of the hardware is 128ROM. Other then built-in wifi I dont see anything else.

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.
