Excellent phone

As you read other reviews, they are mostly spot on with this phone. It overall is an excellent device with a lot of difference features and very customizable (if you know what you're doing) with the windows mobile interface. I wouldn't really recommend a phone like this to a casual user as you could potentially get very frustrated and get lost while moving around in the phone. I wouldn't say I'm an expert in computers, but I know my way around and this works very well for me.

The touch screen, despite what I've heard, is very good. The only drawback is that with windows mobile, not everything is quite as finger friendly as other things. I've found myself struggling to hit the 'x' button in the top corner several times to try and get it to register, but I've had no problem flicking around through webpages or using other, bigger buttons with barely a swipe.

The battery life is another area where people seem to have questions. If you a typically heavy user (constant music, internet, etc.) your battery will drain rather quickly (this is the case for any phone). I only use it typically lightly. I'll use it heavily for only about an hour or so a day, so I can go a few days without having to charge the battery.

I do with that some of the menus were more user friendly. Basic menus (phonebook, texts, etc.) are a chore to get to and navigate in. Just to check a text, I have to go through 3 screens to see what it said. However, I'm sure there is a program out there to help fix this issue, so its not that big of a deal.

The keyboard works suprising well. I am a large person and subsequently large fingers, but I find that I can easily type with the on-screen keyboard. I can actually type better with the potrait keyboard (with the very, very narrow keys) than on the landscape keyboard. How the keyboard worked was a deal-breaker for me and this was excellent.

Like I said, overall, this is a very good phone. It does what its supposed (for better or for worse) and then some. It gets good reception and I can even surf the internet in an elevator.
