This is more a digital camera with the added bonus of having a mobile phone functions. The 8.2 megapixel camera ensures that you get great photos at times when you dont have your camera to hand.
The touch screen functions and phone keypad take some adjusting to if like me you're more used to a more traditional dialing pad. But once you get over that, its a fun phone to use with a qwerty touch screen keyboard that makes texting so much easier and a lot faster when the phone is held horizontally. When i first started using this phone, i was convinced that I would have a preferred buttons that I could physically press, but that was not the case. Truth be known, I now have trouble texting using a traditional phone keypad.
The only drawback I found is that the smart screen is very sensitive, so even the slightest movement can make the screen go from horizontal to vertical. Which can be a pain when you are trying to send a message. Oh and if you are trying to view your stored photos, they automatically scroll through, which can be a pain.
Overall its a not too shabby smartphone that looks sleek and sexy.
