The Best of Both Phone, and Tablet

"Cool until you try to use it" on by dorcus_maximus
Pros: Nice look, shape, and feel, cool concept
Cons: wheel and touch buttons too hard to use
Summary: I wanted to like this phone. I'm returning it for sure...long before my 30 days are up. I really like the form and feel. There is a review from Sam down below mine who gave it a one. He's mainly right. You can adjust the sensitivity of the buttons. I haven't had a lot of problems during a call but it's *terrible* to navigate when you keep mis-clicking and accidentally spinning the wheel. If you have really small fingers and are the kind of person that has time to be very careful using a phone you'll be fine. For me a phone is a tool, not a hobby. Other gripes, I hear my own voice too much/too loud in the earpiece, no voice recorder, not really intuitive for simple things like switching a call to speakerphone, camera lag when taking a picture, etc.etc.
I really wish I could keep using my old Nokia 3200. One of the few phones ever made with a flashlight...

I HATE that nav toggle and how sensitive it is too! I find myself misclicking a lot! But you mentioned that there's no voice recorder- there most certainly is! It's in an odd place so I can see why you missed it. Go to the GET IT NOW menu, then the music and tones menu and then the My Sounds submenu. You'll then see the option to record something new. I think this is what you mean! Good luck. I want to see if I can echange it for a phone with tactile keys- I sure do miss that.
