O2 Xda Atom Exec

Filed under Uncategorized

The XDA Atom is equipped with some new features that really make it stand out from the previous models (XDA Atom and XDA Atom Pure) and is marketed for the executive market. O2 have moved away from the glossy black case that the first Atom’s were designed with and have produced the Atom with a dark grey matt case. Earlier models were prone to show up any fingerprint or oily smudge. Not so for the Atom Exec.

After reading through the specifications on this device I paid attention to the 520 MHz processor and also the 192 MB of ROM. I wondered how it would compare to the XDA Atom with its 416 MHz processor and 128 MB of ROM and the I-Mate JAMin with its TI OMAP850 processor running at 195 MHz. After reviewing both the XDA Atom and I-Mate JAMin, it was clear that the JAMin was much snappier. In this case, it is a close call to determine which device is faster between the I-Mate JAMin and XDA Atom Exec. I put both devices through the same tests and can only suggest they are equal in terms of responsiveness.
I currently don’t have access to a Microsoft Exchange Server to test the direct push technology offered with this version of Outlook Mobile but I have read on certain forums that it works.
Regarding the software the Atom comes bundled with, there is plenty of ROM available for these applications plus more. If you have multiple MiniSD cards and often swap between them, installing the main applications into ROM is convenient as you don’t have to go hunting for the card where the application is installed. For the tests I conducted I had the following loaded:
# WEBIS Pocket Informant Pro
# Skype
# Microsoft Voice Command
# Opera Mobile
# SOTI Pocket Controller Professional
# Developer One Code Wallet Pro 2005 (Bundled)
# MobiMate WorldMate Standard (Bundled)
On the Atom Pure I currently have, the above applications work but take a little time to load. On the Atom Exec, they load promptly and everything just runs smoothly. Plus – there is plenty of room for more applications to be installed into ROM. #
Camera
While the 2 mega-pixel camera is an excellent feature to have, the performance of the application still falls slightly short of user expectations. Previous Atom models struggled with the camera however the Atom handles it much better.
Phone
The phone dialler screen is the same across the rest of the Atom family. With the test calls I made to and from friends they all reported that the conversation sounded very clear. I placed the Atom into speaker phone during the conversations with no effect on audio quality and clarity. Importantly the called parties didn’t hear any echo’s while in either mode, and I didn’t hear any echo’s either. Another significant point I noticed is the Atom’s signal strength around my home. It works quite well even though I live between two cells and suffer call drop-outs from time to time (both cells provide marginal coverage) on other phones.
Compatible Hardware
Here is a list of hardware that I have tested the XDA Atom with, and proven reliable:
# SanDisk 1GB SD Card
# BlueAnt X3 Micro Bluetooth Headset
# BlueAnt Supertooth II Bluetooth Hands Free
# GlobalSat BT-338 Bluetooth GPS Receiver
Conclusions
The Atom offers most of the tools needed for the business professional in a small and light weight package. If O2 were to include an alternate PIM such as Agenda Fusion 8 or Pocket Informant Pro with the software bundle, then the Atom would offer all the tools required by a business executive in this fast paced world. I have made mention of this to O2 and they are considering its feasibility.
As it stands, the Atom would be my pick of the devices currently reviewed if you are looking to upgrade today from an older WM2003 device, or are looking for your first Windows Mobile device to assist with your busy schedule. Current XDA Atom owners (running the latest ROM release) would find this device only a minor upgrade.
The advantages gained from upgrading from an earlier Atom would be:
* Code Wallet Pro
* WorldMate Standard Edition
* 192 MB of ROM
* 520MHz Processor
* Improved camera performance
* Manufacturer’s second design – most hardware issues seen in earlier Atom models should have been addressed in this model
* Leather Pouch – not available with the review device
* IR Keyboard – not available with the review device
The disadvantages of this upgrade from an earlier Atom would be:
* Cost.
Most WM5.0 devices have an upgraded ROM available that includes direct email push technology and the messaging and security feature pack.
Early releases of the XDA Atom (small batch) suffered damage to the display during the manufacturing process but this has now been fixed. If you purchase an Atom and notice a watermarked screen just return it to where you purchased it as a DOA and you will get a replacement.
Now for my review score… After comparing previous Atom’s and the I-Mate JAMin to the XDA Atom Exec, I determined that both the JAMin and Atom perform equally well under normal use. Battery life on all devices is fairly comparable. The clear winner is the XDA Atom simply due to its rich features, nice collection of bundled software, FM Radio, 192 MB ROM and the included IR Keyboard.
