"Almost all I want from a smart phone." on July 23, 2007 by gescolar

Pros: Design, ergonomics, great QWERTY keyboard, WiFi, real Quad Band world phone, Office docs editing, push e-mail

Cons: Lacks 3G, Active Sync is a nightmare, battery life

Summary: I've red in another post that it's a heavy/bulky phone; but indeed it's the most compact design I've seen in a smartphone. What would you expect in a device which partially replaces a phone, PDA and notebook ? It has the power of a notebook from 6 or 7 years ago, in your hands. It's all I need when I'm travelling or at the streets. I've added a Transcend 2GB Micro Sd card, and it replaces a USB flash drive too. Convergence is getting better each day.

The worst: Active Sync 4.5 works with some PC's, some not. There's nothing you can do, troubleshooting is useless and Microsoft Mobile site support is poor.

"Almost perfect; nifty all in one device" on January 26, 2008 by Aryan Expedition

Pros: Great form factor, amazing all rounder, wifi, bluetooth, EDGE, GPRS fantastic, excellent battery, more than decent camera, very good call quality, WM6, Slider keyboard

Cons: The screen should have been a little bigger, but what the heck, this is the best way they could devise in this form factor

Summary: I created my CNET account specially to post my review for this beauty.

I'm one of those who searches and researches for a gadget online and then make up my mind to buy one. And I'm not disappointed by the excellent reviews this phone has been getting from various users / critics.

Its an excellent device, the phone feels like a conventional candy bar; in fact its smaller than my Blackberry 7110V and the Sony P1i!!! The sliding keyboard is a killer, people can't believe there is one under the hood.

The camera is quite nice and the pics are quite alright, not orangeish as claimed. The voice quality is excellent, the battery life is very good for a device like this. My apprehension of it not syncing easily were put to rest when this champ synced effortlessly with my home PC in a jiffy. I carry most of my music, photos, some videos, a divx movie and some data on the nifty 2GB microsd card i purchased separately.

Although I haven't checked out how WIFI works on this (its been only 3 days since I got this phone), the blue tooth, EDGE & GPRS work like a charm. I have also found a 3rd party app for Gtalk and other messengers as all in one and now I'm always online!

The keys are a bit small, I'd admit but I'm getting used to it. A friendly advice - If you have big nails on your thumbs, pls cut them short as you're gonna be using your thumbs a lot!

All in all I'm very pleased with this phone and hope to make best use of it in the future. Just so you know, I'm in India and bought this for a little less than $300!

Shall update ye all later with newer experiences!

Cheers

"Almost a Complete Package Phone" on September 7, 2008 by defyep

Pros: Has a front keyboard. Good Wifi and almost everything can be customized. Menu, Homescreen and you can also overclock the device if you want it to be faster. It can read almost all king of video when you install tcmp qwerty is perfect.

Cons: Sometimes it gets slow. You have to manually end task in the task screen. NO 3g and No HSDP

Summary: I recommend this phone for people who likes to text with one hand and also wants to use qwerty keyboard. This phone is like a small computer where in you can install a lot of windows mobile programs.
