"Performs like XP on a P133" on by Guesswho369
Pros: Syncs with Outlook, slim, decent voice quality for a Smartphone
Cons: Slow, horrible battery-life, plodding navigation
Summary: I was suprised to find this cutting-edge new smartphone - successor to the popular i500 - to be so disappointingly slow. The USB sync is slower than expected, the wireless perfomrce is HORRIBLY slow and simple navigation is much slower than acceptable. I don't have any extra TSR-apps installed or running on this phone - juts the standard, and my contact db is < 130. The button placement on the side of the phone for volume, recording, web access and phone mode are inconveniently placed so that you're bound to constantly hit these buttons accidentally during calls and regular operation. The battery life for the slim battery (the only one which makes this an acceptable pocket-phone) is appaling and I find if I dont keep it plugged in charging most of the day I'll be in a pinch during a call later.

"ABSOLUTELY AWESOME" on
Pros: This phone is incredible. Very intuitive, seamless with MS Outlook - I can even HotSync without wires using my infrared port on my notebook. The voice activation feature works amazingly well - allowing me to dial contacts from my Outlook contact list whil
Cons: I do miss the touchscreen from my Toshiba PDA, but overall this is as good as it gets for a combo phone and PDA.

"This is the BEST phone out there" on
Pros: Don't pay too much attention to all these reviews. Just get the 15 day trial and try it for yourself. I'm sure you'll love it. I use mine to watch movies while on the plane, how awsome is that!

"Absolutely Unbelievable" on
Pros: This was exactly what I was looking for. It simply does everything and it is responsive. I can’t get over how small it is. I have had it now for three weeks and love it! I now have an MP3 player, Outlook synching (email, contacts, and calendar), Speak
Cons: Battery life could be better but they supply you with two batteries. Other than that the only thing my friends commit on is that they can’t believe it doesn’t have a camera. Who needs a camera?

"Expensive and problematic" on
Pros: Phone, e-mail, & web browsing in one package
Cons: Expensive, problematic, and unreliable. I have gone through 5 of these, and I am definitely looking for something better.
