"Fine for the basics"
Pros: Feal, Camera, Battery, voice commands
Cons: Usefullness in noisy places, cost of data cable
Summary: I had the phone for a month now, as a phone it is great. Speaker phone is fine, speed dialing is as expected, the voice command is GREAT, I never had that before and it makes the phone really hands free! It has all the gadets I would want (mind you I do not need a lot). As a phone to make calls, this is fine. Take some time, play with the setup menus.. it does what you want it to.
My only two and a half problems are: 1) the volume does not get loud enough for the earpiece or for the ringer. I have been outside and I just do not hear the phone ringing (or feal the vibration) in my pocket. This was not a problem with my other 3 phones over the last 5 years, they all had the option for "extra loud" or the like. 2) I keep the phone in my pocket, and sometimes it takes a picture of the inside of my pocket or the voicecommand will turn on if the buttons are pushed in my pocket... that's a bit eriee... The 1/2 problem is that the data cable is $50 to download photos.. That is a bit much, but I am cheep. These are not big issues, perhaps I just need a belt clip and head phone..

I can barely hear when I'm talking on this phone, can't imagine if it was a noisy place..
and it has some static and echo sound to it..
It's a shame because it's a real attractive phone and seems to be a real strong sturdy phone that would hold up well for an outdoor person. I think I'm going to return the phone and look for one that the volume and ringer sound is louder.
