    "This phone : easy use :: nail in foot : a nice walk"

    by drm2257 on November 26, 2009

    Pros: It's relatively small and lightweight, and does, technically, function as a phone. The predictive text software does a good job of remembering new words.

    Cons: Almost everything. The lag between button presses and the phone's response is maddening. Some software and hardware design choices are negligent at best, misanthropic at worst.

    Summary: On its best days, this phone is a predictable inconvenience. On its worst, it is torturous.

    It's less that the phone freezes occasionally, which it does, than that it's almost impossible to distinguish freezing from the phone's normal operation. I generally leave the phone on without interruption, but on airplanes, I turn it off. When I land, after restarting the phone, it takes anywhere from 7-15 minutes before I can compose or receive texts. When I press "menu," the phone pauses, considering what I might possibly mean. We're not in a restaurant, it thinks. Where can I find a menu? Maybe...take out? OHHH! it realizes, eventually. YOU MEAN /MY/ MENU! Hold on, I'll get that right out for you! Where did I put it? Here, by my collection of unappetizing jellies? Nope, not here. Maybe it's in the fridge, next to the increasingly depressing piles of half-eaten spring rolls in styrofoam boxes? Hmmm. AHA! It was under the bed all along!

    The keypad is tiny, and the buttons are easily mashed together. The keys often don't respond, or respond all at once, after a long delay, shooting me forward several menu screens. The back panel of the case only comes off with a hammer, a chisel, and cartoonishly large forearms.

    I hate this phone.

    Oh, and the sound quality is terrible.
