Good: Works when touch screen smartphones wont . . . like when it's very very cold and heavy gloves must be kept on. Can be held against the ear properly as it is the traditional 'candy bar' shape. The QUERTY keyboard is easy and fast to use.
Bad: The camera is only average resolution. Screen is smaller than touch screens 'though this is an advantage in other ways!
Comment: Robust, fast and probably the last smart phone without a touch screen. Important when working in very cold conditions. I've had two and have no serious complaints.

Good: the qwerty keyboard
Bad: everything but
Comment: whilst the phone runs smoothly to begin with after about 2 months use it becomes slow and freezes alot. the transition between screens for sliding the keyboard up and down becomes sticky and the qwerty keyboard often gives characters you don't want despite not pressing the function button. the biggest problem is the screen!! i had this phone for about 5 months and dropped it on the floor. where another phone would have survived the fall this one's screen cracked as it's made of glass!!!!! i sent for a replacement and the exact same thing happened again! ALSO bulky! it's a hassle to use and if you want to be quick about texting or calling someone i certainly wouldn't recommend it.
