"Keypad Lock Feature" on by TruthAgent
Pros: Loud Ringer, Great Vib, Cool Features
Cons: Keypad Lock feature
Summary: The problem is with the keypad lock feature: With the keypad lock feature (on) you can still accidentally press the Power + End button and the phone powers off. The problem is when I get into my car and the phone is in the leather case on my side it is pressing on the center console in my car on the power button and turning the unit off while the keypad is locked. I feel that you should not be able to power the unit off without first unlocking the keypad, being as the keypad lock feature is an option. All keys should be protected except when receiving a call.
I would suggest doing a software update to prevent this from happening. -
"Easy to use, with some flaws." on by evolvedbeyondu
Pros: The slide out qwerty keyboard is great. The physical functioning of the slider is great too. It is springloaded so when you get to a certain point is slides open or closed quite easily. It is also a really simple and easy to use phone.
Cons: The one main issue I have with this phone is the placement of the voice command button; it is extremely easy to accidentally press.
Summary: In general the phone is great and I really like it. But the voice command button is a hassle. Even if the phone has all sounds off or vibrate, (i.e. I am in the library or class), When you hit that button the woman's voice still asks you to "please say a command." With the placement of the button and the ease with which it is triggered, without much movement of your finger you can hit it when close the slider after sending a text or when putting it in your pocket after reading a text and the phone is still unlocked for a few seconds.
The texting is great, and the way you can sort by contact is really helpful. It lets you follow conversations much more easily if you are going between multiple people at the same time.
The camera is not so great and for some reason they expect you to only want to take photos sideways so that is how the information on the screen is oriented when you go into picture mode. Oh, and no flash so forget about nighttime photos. -
"These are Awesome" on by Mikasmi
Pros: I love how it has the keyboard where it slides out also how it has stereo bluetooth. That is the best plus I love using bluetooth headphones so it is great how I do not need any cables.
Cons: The speakers on the phone I agree with the article that it is not up to par but I compensate it by using the headsets instead.
Summary: Bottom Line the phone is great and I can not wait to use it with these(www.budsgoblue.com) SO I can get the full hands free and cable free experience out of them.

"Great phone with flaws" on by vlasktom
Pros: Key lock feature is nice. Camera takes great pictures. Responsive keys. And music player is easy to use.
Cons: Full keyboard too cramped. Phone is sluggish when MicroSD card is used and it's nearly full. battery life takes huge hit when on the phone for more than 20 minutes. vibrate feels weak
Summary: Overall this is a great phone. It does have it's issues but what phone doesn't? considering i have fairly large thumbs they keyboard is cramped for me, but for someone with smaller hands it's probably perfect. the speakerphone and switchable writing feature is incredible. it's a much ncier phone compared to other phones i've owned, but it's not the best on the market.
