    "very nice phone for people with lots of data"

    by nutjob on May 13, 2009

    Pros: 16GB internal plus a microsd card slot
    ability to tether
    nice strong signal even in marginal areas
    5 mp camera with light
    ability to connect to a DLNA server
    TV out with a solid FM radio

    Cons: I do not know the heck the side attached pointer does and never have used it.
    Does not use micro USB but if you have a Samsung before you have the right connections.
    Radio needs headphones to work
    Special headphone jack (aaaarg)

    Summary: I go through a phone every six months or so and have had msart phones since the treo 600 was made. Over the last 2 years I have had HTC Touch Cruise, Apple 2g iPhone, and Eten X800.

    This is by far the best of the lot. It does everything a iPhone (except connect to itunes) and HTC can do only faster and smoother.

    The interface takes some getting use to but after about 2 weeks you will have it mastered and being more productive.

    I make a number of presentations and use the camera to collect what is written down and using Shozu allows me to transfer those pictures for storage immediately.
    I used the wi-fi to connect to my exchange server when I was in EU with no issues. I even used skype and found it only slightly below adequate over 3G.

    This thing should drop the touch dongle, it is useless and all phones should use a micro USB hook up.

    I use the GSM version and got it after seeing the Verizon version.
    When I get home I turn on the wifi and connect to my DLNA server and listen to music while I relax.
