Phone owned for less than a year

This Phone is very smart . Its the best for chatting and texting and emailing. This battery is very sort time.. I'm telling you, this is the greatest phone you can get.Its supper fast with its processor, the screen is by far the best screen i have ever seen on a mobile decive. Keys are very easy and accurate to use. Design is very thin and not to heavy.

Phone owned for less than a month

I've got this phone as a graduation gift from my mom... i want my mom's iphone4 but obviously she doesnt want to give it to me.. so this phone is the one that is given to me...

its pros are Good quality Screen HVGA 480x320, Stereo speakers with audio boost, good piano like qwerty keypad..nice call reception, and wide range of connectivities (wifi, gps, bluetooth, usb cable.).

its cons are mediocre camerapixels 2.0 but it can shoot great photos in daytime. , poor battery life eventhough it has 1500 mah li-poly batt, browser, and the trackball.

ive been using it as my present smartphone... its good... but im hoping for my mom's iphone4 in the future... Lols

Not The best Nor the worst

Phone owned for less than 3 months

This Phone is very smart . Its the best for chatting and texting and emailing. But not very good when it comes to applications , camera , and type of videos it can accept .
Its more convenient for business use more than luxury use or may i say for fun .
bottom line its moderate phone than you wont regret to buy it . but you'll think of buying a new phone after having it for a while .
