awesome phone

the phone is awesome.......i love everything about it..........there are a lot of haters out there but either they should not have got a touch screen, dont understand how to use the phone properly, or i got the only good one......lol

the phone has good battery life when setting are set right

i think people would rather just blame the phone rather than admit they need help using it





screen, its a blackberry, web surfing, takes good pics, email, tons of apps
vibrate mode very weak

had mine since Feb 2009, I've had no problems with mine with the exception of the old .75 software which went bye bye with in week 1 of ownership and was updated as leaks came out. I've really enjoyed this phone but the touch screen could be a little better, i can't type as fast as i'd like because i'm waiting on the screen, other than this i really really like this phone alot, i look forward to Storm 2.  p.s. this thing is a tank, it fell off of my car going 50mph and was only a little bruised but still functions perfectly.





Solid physical build
Doesn't feel cheap and plasticy
Fits good in the hands
QWERTY keyboard (landscape mode) if more accurate than iPhone
AF 3.2MP
etc
SurePress screen for typing, other than this, it's good.
