I'm not a technophile, so my review won't be as indepth as some

If you've owned any Nokia phones before then it will take you only one day to learn to use this phone

The thing I love most about this phone is that it is excellent for email and texting

excellent for email and texting

This has completely changed my life, since I am not able to do work from wherever I am, including coffee shops, the movie theater, dinner parties, and even the bathroom

A feature I have really used is the voice recorder

This has helped me to keep track of the million things I need to do every day

I've had the BlackBerry Curve, switched to iPhone, then tried out the Storm (which is the worst BB ever made in my opinion), then switched back to my iPhone

Almost a great phone, with some misses.

I needed a QWERTY phone and I think this one is a good compromise between Cupertino and Ontario, good in many but still short of some

Absence of US POIs

First off, I must admit I actually made arrangements to return this phone after exactly one week

GREAT PHONE, NOT SO GREAT RECEPTION

The rumors of reception problems are quite true, but once you understand the nature of the problem it is tolerable

The problem lies with the location of the antenna

Rating 4

If you hold the phone in a normal position and you are in a location that has a weaker signal ( 3 or less bars ), then your hand blocks the signal and reception is horrible

However, if you carefully hold the phone by avoiding the top and bottom of the phone, reception is not affected

I bought this but didn't find it to be as good as it's hyped up to be:



Things I don't like



- not intuitive to use - eg

average phone

sometimes clearing a password field is impossible need to reload webpage



- hard to make it go over wi fi for some functions ( I don't have a data plan yet, I wanted to see how much use I can get off wifi )

- non standard headphone jack

- non standard usb

- no usb charging

- special software needed to sync ( should use standard windows api )

- camera sub par



Ideally, it should redirect all network traffic to wifi if you're connected
