4.5 stars
"Great... if you know what to expect!"
Pros: - Customizable
- Thin & portable
- Good keyboard
- Touch mouse & stylusCons: - Small screen makes internet browsing hard
Summary: The Saga is the best portable workstation on the market right now - works with outlook, has Office Mobile, and the Today screen can be customized to your liking. The real trick is to play with it and figure out how to do things like change the ringers or set up the hotkeys. A lot of the complaints so far have been about WinMo 6.1... yes it can be buggy, yes it can lag. When it does, don't take the battery out - hit the reset button. It's conveniently located there on the side for a reason!
- Short battery life (but can be extended)
The battery power is lacking compared to most phones (which is why it got 4.5 instead of 5.0 stars). The key is to watch your power consumption. Don't turn on bluetooth, wireless, or cellular data (for internet and email) unless you're actively using them. That will seriously lengthen your battery life.
The other gripe is the internet browsing is difficult using the touch mouse. You'll need to switch back into navigation mode for it to be effective.
This is not an iPhone, nor is it a spiffy touch screen-only jobber. It's not meant to be. This is for power users who need a mobile command center. If you're looking for something more trendy or playful, try the Omnia. All in all, this is a great phone, though. I'm definitely happy with it.
