Cons The lack of autofocus on the camera is a bit annoying, though it is a fine camera. The other hit to this device is Verizon itself, who decides what programs you can and can't have and locks you out of using the search engine of your choice. on March 31, 2010 by chriszeller  | Read full review

Cons 1.SCREEN BRIGHTNESS! I put my old curve on 60% brightness, it is still brighter than this one on 100%.
2. Battery Door feels cheap and is not easy to work with.
Third and last: camera with no flash. Not worth it.
