"Best Phone I have Owned"
Pros: Small, fast web access, great user interface
Cons: Outside buttons do almost nothing when closed, Voice command recognition maybe a bit worse than V710
Summary: Just upgraded from my V710 for $50!!! What a deal. IF needed for work I can sync with Outlook / Exchange.. but smaller that current Windows phones. (Which I like)
The hinges seem solid.. Reception seems about the same as my V710. Love the keyboard for entering text, the speech to text is not that great, but how needs it with the little keyboad.
I do like the idea someone suggested of lighting only the button that work when in portrait orientation.
I have medium sized hands and am ok with the button sizes.
Nice feature for airplanes you can turn off the phone in standalone mode and still used the games and music player.
When closed I would like to be able to change ring mode and volumne like on the V710.. but after I learned where every thing was. I have to say... This phone is a bargain..
Glad I waited and didn't get the ENV.Updated
I like it even more.
I wish the plug for the power was located in the base so I could get a dock for my desk not just a cable.
I love this phone...
