"Fabulous hardware design, lacking in software functionality"
Pros: Silm design with flip phone and landscape flip capability with qwerty keypad for SMS, IM and select email apps, blue tooth
Cons: landscape mode does not support POP email or internet acess. Cannot use qwetry keyboard to enter contacts in address book. Sound quality is sometimes lacking (screechy sometimes)
Summary: I really like this phone's slick design and dual functionality with flip phone and landscape "mini-laptop' mode, however the software for the landscape mode is very much lacking. I'm hoping there will be software upgrades available in the future to ... read more >>

"Don't believe the poor reviews/Cnet video! Awesome phone"
Pros: Call Quality, Battery Life, Screen Visibility, SMS and IM Ease, Calender Entry, Light Weight, No Crappy Camera!, Outer Screen is high res for B&W and displays alerts and caller info. Great Design

Summary: I had very specific expectations when I got this phone. I had no desire to have a camera, no need to browse the web. I wanted a phone that could make a decent quality call, ability to do text messaging with something that resembled a keyboard but ... read more >>

"Cool Hardware; Horrible, Horrible Software"
Pros: Very cool design, very good bluetooth support, voice to text is neat, Instant messenger works nicely, Edge!
Cons: the QWERTY can only be used for SMS, Notes, Instant Messages!! Phone lacks standard "phone" features that Motorola and Sony have always had
Summary: This phone is an awesome piece of hardware, but the software is terrible.
In phone mode: there are no ringer profiles, no option to have a simultaneous vibrate/ring, and the speaker is scratchy and low quality.
In landscape mode: -

4.5 stars
Pros: Great design for QWERTY without bulk
Cons: Learning curve
Summary: Just got mine today. I did a speed read of the manual and some basic manipulations with the phone. Have to say that it's not that hard to figure out in portrait mode. It works a lot like my old Siemens phone menu-wise. Landscape mode is a little... read more >>
