"Not quite worth the price tag."
Pros: Nice size screen. Something different, unique. Tons of options. Music, Video, web, pictures, etc.
Cons: Texting or using the onscreen keyboard not as easy as u would think. Web difficult to navigate as you often hit unwanted web links on web pages while simply trying to scroll up or down. Home button doesn't work in landscape mode.
