"Good phone... Expensive... Too many gadgets"
Pros: Great camera resolution and big screen
Cons: Design... almost impossible to do it one-hand
Summary: Had it for couple of weeks. Great camera compare to the rivals. Almost drop the phone a few times using one-hand operation. My fingers are always a couple of seconds faster than the phone when entering number and choosing various functions... which bothers me... Sadly returned the phone to Cingular and stick w/ my old phone. Back on the market for my perfect GSM (US) phone... Why can't we have those nice looking phones like in Europe and Asia

I have this phone and love it, but must say that Tiramisu4me did the right thing - try out the phones you think you would like, until you find the one that sings to you.
No phone is perfect for all users, and if you don't want or need all the bells & whistles, find a simpler phone.
Some points:
?This is one of the few EDGE (high-speed GPRS) phones available for Cingular customers.
?I have medium sized hands, but taught myself to open the phone one-handed rather quickly. The trick is to hold the phone upside down, hooking your fingers around the base, while pushing on the side of the display with your thumb (silly, I know ? but it works)! It?s easy to spin the phone 180º from upright to upside down one-handed to accomplish this. If you don?t like this, get a different phone!
I get plenty of oohs & ahs over this phone.
?Tiramisu is correct that there is a slight lag when accessing menus and programs, but I detect no lag when entering numbers. I don?t find it to be a problem (but wish the number buttons had a little more tactile feedback).
