Product Details
The O2 Atom Life that looks good is already half the battle won. With the Atom Life, a faster processor, a generous 1GB onboard memory and loads of connectivity features such as 3G and HSDPA (3.5G) completes the equation The Atom Life uses the same 2.7-inch QVGA screen as its predecessor. It's not exceptionally large, and we find it a comfortable (barely) size for daily texting, Web surfing and document viewing. The screen washes out slightly in direct sunlight, though, and we had to turn it up a few notches on the brightness scale. Above the LCD is where you find a VGA camera for video telephony and a sunken grill where you hear the voice of the other party on the line. In idle mode, an intermittent green light flashes to signal that you're connected to the operator's network.
On the back of the Atom, you will find a 2-megapixel CMOS camera, a self-portrait mirror and a white LED strobe flash. The handset comes with 1GB of onboard flash memory and there's an option for you to switch to a miniSD card for extra storage on the top edge of the unit. Should you decide to see the 1,530mAh Lithium-polymer battery in its full glory which, frankly, isn't very exciting to look at, slide down the battery cover. The good thing is the handset doesn't power down like some others when you do that.
