"Sensitive touch screen, processor speed is good." on October 20, 2010 by Sleeping_Dragon

Pros: The task AP Mode is great. I can connect my laptop to the internet everywhere with the phone.

Cons: The screen is rather narrow, so when I compose message, it's difficult to review the previous lines.

"Best phone for the money" on October 11, 2010 by logman123

Pros: Great Screen, easy to use, speaker is nice and clear (non speaker phone), the widgets area is great

Cons: Speaker Phone could be louder, keyboard is not a responsive as I would like, not enough apps

Summary: This phone allows me to keep up with my social networks and multiple email accounts. Has a beautiful, vivid display, takes good pictures and video. Really wish there where more apps for this phone.

"The best phone I've ever had so far..." on July 4, 2010 by iangabinete

Pros: superb screen, compact build, nice media player, very good camera, fast processor, fluid transitions, expandable memory, loud speaker, intuitive UI, superb sunlight legibility, nice messaging capabilities, excellent battery life, portable hotspot

Cons: microSD not hotswappable, limited apps, oversized widgets, no iSync plug-in (yet)

Summary: 1. The quality of the screen is simply the best. The images are so vivid that sometimes it feels like l'm looking at a finely printed picture. Sunlight legibility is superb even at the lowest backlight setting.
2. Web pages load fast even faster than my iPad. The size of the screen is very limited though.
3. Screen control needs getting used to coming from a keypad user point of view. I now have a higher percentage of error when typing. The send button is always accidentally pressed.
4. I've used all the iPhone versions and I really liked them all. I also had Omnia Hd before but wave is the best when it comes to page transistions. Really fast!
5. I like the message notification when the screen is locked. It's fun fitting a puzzle piece to its proper place.
6. The apps are more than adequate for my needs but it would be nicer if there would be more available.
7. The sound is very nice and loud. Built-in speaker is not the best but for speakerphone functions it performs better than my E72. Voice on the other line is louder and clearer also.
8. The price is very reasonable, best bang-for-the-buck in fact!

I really love this phone and I believe that this indeed is an iPhone killer!
