Right, so I've had this phone a little while now, got it as an upgrade from an HTC Touch Diamond. I cannot help but compare the two.. Where to start? Well first off the battery life is poor, lasting about a day and a half, although I text virtually all the time, thus making it poor, and not lasting long. Although to be fair it has made 2 days before. Secondly, the camera. It is amazing on a sunny day, and I mean AMAZING. Bright colours, vivid images, really makes it look alive. One thing it could do with is a Xenon flash. In the dark it is more than shocking. Thirdly, the range of tools etc. - When you go into the main menu you are greeted with ALOT of icons, all leading into different applications, when upright it can be likened to the iPhone (but I HATE it when people compare it with the iPhone.), as it uses the scroll across menu, it is also slower reacting with the touch feature. It has been labelled the 'S-Class' of UI. I don't feel this is justified, it feels plasticky, but other than that, its amazing. I put it is bad value for money purely because it isn't equipped enough for the money you would pay - I got it for free because it's an upgrade etc etc. As previously mentioned the battery could be better, and as I said, it's plasticky, therefore making it's durability/robustness low. It looks good but feels somewhat cheap, hence why its satisfactory. All in all, I give it 4*.
