"Well worth the heft"
What I like:
Fantastic access to the Internet
What I don't like:
Slightly buggy O2 phone service
Review:
I adore this device. If you've ever driven yourself mad trying to surf the web with a mobile phone, your worries are over. This phone has access to the Internet that's about 85% of what you get on your desktop, which is fantastic when you're on the road. (And a real life saver when I first got to London and had no good access to the Internet at all). It has a tonne of other features that I'm still trying to figure out how to use. For phone calls, I'd recommend you get the smallest possible Bluetooth earpiece you can find, of course. But in a pinch, you can make a call with no earpiece. Sound is good.
The only little complaint I have is with the O2 service. It's fine overall, really. But my pals in the US have trouble getting through occasionally. And, strangely, sometimes I go to pick up the phone and it hangs up on the caller. I call back, apologise, and we're off and running.
