"I like it a lot!"
Pros: Great Keyboard. Cool wallpapers. Awesome speaker phone
Cons: no pre-installed games
Summary: I know that many people aim for smaller phones, but I find the slighter larger size of this phone to be an advantage. It is substantial enough to feel like a phone - as opposed to feeling like you are talking on a peanut. The keyboard feature is great. Took a minute to figure out the last row of keys - not exactly like a real keyboard, but I understand why it is like it is. The keys are large enough and spaced enough so that my fingernails are not an issue (although I will admit that a pencil eraser is still a faster way for me to type - but thats a flaw of me and my abilities as a typist
I read a lot of negative comments about the quality of pictures. I guess it could be better, but most people dont use the camera phone for professional photography. For fun or quick reminders of what things look like, the 1.3 megapixel camera is fine.
Lastly, I find the call quality to be superior. The speaker phone in particular is superb. Unless privacy is urgent, I find the speaker phone to be a very convenient way to converse (like driving). The person on the other end of the line is unaware of my use of a speaker phone. That kind of clarity is rare.
I believe this phone to be an excellent choice for young and old ( I am in the latter category)
