"overall its a good phone" on October 26, 2009 by tkazee

Pros: I love the look and feel of the phone. I like the fact that I dont see these in everyones hands every 5 minutes like the iphone. I like the screens and the SPB mobile shell.

Cons: the biggest pain for me is the battery life. They indicate 7 hours of talk time, I barely get 7 hours at standby. My phone drains 30 % within a half hour of taking it off the charger and not using it.

Summary: I am overal pleased with the support hat you get from Pharos. They are always willing to answer problems and they have been fairly quick about fixing some of this phones initial quirkyness and they continue to come up with updates to make the phone better. No other phone developer has ever done that. Everyone phone has its quirks, this one is no different. I didnt get any of the sluggishness or freezing on my phone. My only problem is the battery life. I should be able to go on a shopping trip and know that I will have a phone if I need it. As it stands now, My phone will be dead within a couple of hours especially if I use it on and off...
