"WORST PHONE EVER! DON'T BUY IT ! RETURNING IT TODAY!"
Pros: Looks cool and has a great camera (if you can figure out how to get to it). I carried the 755p trio for 18 months prior to this device.
Cons: 1. Battery is woofully inadaquet. 2. It is VERY sluggish. 3. It isn't intuitive AT ALL. 4. TOO complicated doing simple tasks. 5. it beeps and chimes all the time (calendar) and I can't figure out how to turn it off. more on the bottom line
Summary: For starters, it was hard to find the actual phone on this ?phone?. Every program you open stays open (hidden) and it burns both memory and battery. When you "X" a program, it doesn't close it, just makes it go away. The program remains open until you go into a "hidden" screen to properly close it. The phone is ALWAYS getting turned on in my pocket. I find myself trying to navigate it and the wrong program opens. The contour of the key board doesn't give your fingers enough feedback to tell the keys apart. Using the touch screen to locate your contacts is cumbersome and tiny. Navigating the touch screen in mail is WAY too sensitive. When trying to slide up or down, a pop-up menu will continue to appear with a menu of options when all I want is to scroll.
Navigating the web is great on this phone. However, you can?t adjust the zoom very well. It is tiny and larger with no in-between.
The screen should be larger. Everything is cramped in a too small area. It makes it difficult to navigate through programs.
Bottom line - If you: 1. Don't care about money 2. You don't want to use your phone after 5pm (battery is dead) and 3. You love to be frustrated, this is the phone for you. If there is someone that you don't like and have to buy a Christmas present for, buy them this phone.

I have had the same bad experience with this phone. I wouldn't even give it or sell it to someone I didn't like. I bought it the first week it came out and was "seduced" by the sleek look. Bad mistake. The battery is horrible. The phone is difficult to use. The camera can only take still photos because it is so slow. I couldn't return mine either. I even went back a few months later and bought a new flip phone -- and paid full price -- just to get away from this phone. (In all fairness, I am not a techie person, so any phone might be hard for me to use. But this one was TERRIBLE.) If you buy this one (and I am not recomending that at all), make sure you know the return policy and try to learn to use it quickly so you'll know if you need to return it before it is too late.

I wish I would have seen your review before I made the fatel mistake of wasting my money. Unfortunately I couldn't return it since I bought it on Ebay and then ended up losing it. A flip phone is better.
