This is the first touch screen phone that I have ever owned, and I find it rather like my wife's nintendo ds to use, as it comes with a little pen that slides into the phone. It has lots of lovely features, but you can get a bit lost in the navigation of the features, and if you have left the gallery feature running to view photo files, you can't use the camera until you have properly exited the gallery (but the phone allows you to navigate between features while other features are running, and this has cost me some good photo opportunities).
The phone does not have a good memory, I have taken about 20 photos and it is full and won't let me take any more, I wish I had bought the extra memory the salesperson was trying to get me to buy.
My other two problems with this phone, is I find it difficult to use when calling phone numbers which require you to input number options to go to further answer menu options (ie like calling my bank, or calling Orange 150), the phone will allow you to do it, but in this respect I find it more difficult than a traditional mobile phone. I also find that I cancel a lot of my incoming calls in error because I am not used to the layout and features of this phone.
I do think that this phone is good for internet browsing, and I also like the feature of being able to integrate my pop3 email with the messaging features of this phone.
I don't think this phone has a very long battery life, I seem to need to charge it every two days, possibly from intensive use of its features.
Another major disadvantage with this touchscreen phone, is walking in the sun you will get screen glare, making it almost impossible to use the features and the dialing, unlike a normal button mobile.
It fits nicely in the pocket, and the phone lock feature means that I don't worry about it accidentally making calls.
