4.5 stars out of 5

Good: Stylish, slim, good battery life and very useful dock

Bad: Earphones and charm are over hyped

Comment: All the functionality of a modern smartphone but slim enough to fit in my pocket and stylish enough to be an accessory all by itself. Being Android, it's also very flexible to customise (even without rooting), so any stock features you don't like can be easily swapped out for something that suits you better from the Play store.

Yes it lacks firepower compared to other HTC devices but I think the longer battery life more than makes up for it and probably only serious gamers would find it to be a problem. Providing I’m not on the net all day, it happily lasts 2 days without charging but the standard USB port means I’m rarely far from a charger, as I can plug it into my PC or use “spare” chargers from other devices.

The accessories, while appealing to look at, aren’t that practical or amazing. I didn’t get on with the earphones at all and the novelty of the Charm soon wore off but the dock is to be recommended, making for easy bedside overnight charging and doubling up as an alarm clock, internet radio and mp3 player dock all in one!

Fantastic all-round phone with nice clean design and some great features. For the 1st time, I don’t actually think I’ll want to replace my handset before my 2-year contracts is up.

Good: The phone does not get heated up.. which means the battery is good to stand for 2 days, The body is sleek and good when compared to other HTC, the processor speed is good enough for a £389 phone, the sound quality is really good with headphones and without one as well, the pre-loaded apps give you an option to fall in love with the phone, the video is really good and i dont see any kind of problem in it, the android version is 2.3.5 which is good and it comes with a HTC sense version of 3.5 which amazing,

Bad: the cost of the phone is very high, the camera is jus 5mp and single flash, there is no camera button on the body so u have to use the camera option all time, poor wifi reception at times,

Comment: this phone is fancy gadget and not for serious business people, however presentation and prints can be made in one shot in this phone, the video can be edited and it stands to be a major advantage in reducing the video size then and there. this phone might look like a girls gadget, but guys seriously don't go by the world reviews, try the gadget first and then decide. NOT SURE ABOUT WHETHER THIS MOBILE SUPPORTS UPGARDE

Good: The size

Bad: Slow processor

Comment: Let us get some more mid-sized phones with decent specs. A phone that fits in a normal pocket and can be operated with one hand by people under 1.75m.

Not for me
