I bought this product a while back, after needing an upgrade from my old phone. From what I saw, there was a lot of hype around it, and I therefore decided to take the plunge and get it. Now this phone has some excellent features, but there are many great let downs which I feel would make me not recommend this phone. Let me first say that I bought this phone a while ago, and the problems with it may have been fixed with an updatedROM, but this is my experience.
#one Its jam packed with features. From checking to whether where you live, to GPS. This list is huge, and I was amazed by the amount of features it had on there. The games, of course, are excellent. As far as I know, It runs on Windows mobile, Therefore it contans alot of other features including powerpoint mobile and messanger.
#two The graphics are the phone are amazing. Especially the weather effects. It something you couldn't have got years ago on a phone. The problem is, there are a few catches to this, which I will mention later in the review. The User interface is well laid out, if not a bit too packed for a touch screen phone.The stylus helps massively here, and its something I have experianced in a phone before.
#three The appearence of the phone is probably the thing that most attracted me to it in the first place. Its sleak and stylish and also quite thin, and I love the effect on the back of the phone. I feel the buttons on the front are fairly useless, but I'm sure their are reason for them, I just can't find them.
Now to the bad points. The phone Is very slow, and like I said before, this could be because mine needs updating. It takes quite a long time navigate through the interface. Secondly, it also has a habit of keeping the internet on without you noticing, although this could just be my fault.
Mainly due to the slowness off it, I don't recommend this phone. I'm sure alot of people would, but I feel money could be spent much better on another phone.
