I am currently using an Atom as my primary device and I absolutely love it. The form factor is outstanding, the audio quaility is terrific, speed is impressive.... I just love it.

I did have a little trouble with Cingular not playing nice with it but I've pretty much chalked it up to the local network here in Dallas. I was up in Minneapolis last week and signal was terrific - and had EDGE up there! GPRS down here :(

I should have a review on my site next month on it.

I don't absolutely love it, it has flaws. I wrote a review here:

Anyone ever wish they knew how to get all the good toys that Arne gets? ;)

I like the CPU, but I don't like the button layout or the screensize.

Decisions, decisions...

I like the CPU, but I don't like the button layout or the screensize.

Decisions, decisions...

I guess these are two things that I do like about it. The screen to me is readable and useable and the simple button layout is a nice change from other devices.

That's the beauty of the market right? Everyone can find a device that they like! :D

I've been using a JAMin for about six weeks and screensize is not an issue. It doesn't have the CPU of the Atom but it certainly gets the job done. And I actually prefer the nice, bright 2.8" screen to the somewhat washed-out 4" screen I was using.
