Good: DAB Radio & TV on your phone
Bad: Chunky
Comment: Listen to DAB Radio and watch DAB-IP TV on the move. Has a loudspeaker so can also be used as mini portable radio. Play your MP3s on the move. Bought a 2GB MicroSD card for ~£20 so have plenty to listen to. Multitasking so play games/read an ebook (pdf/doc/txt) whilst listening to the radio. Wish it was less clunky, mind you.

Good: DAB radio, screen, headset
Bad: Poor battery life, poor network coverage on SMS send only, customer support
Comment: Cannot handle all of the functions offered - if a typical day is browse, send SMS, make calls and possibly look at TV - and all on the move - the battery lasts no more than two hours. It's quite difficult to use and customer support is not geared up to dealing with a Windows mobile phone. Browsing and email hikes the monthly bill up as well.
The DAB radio is very good even on trains, but there's no Qwerty keyboard.
As a phone, yes, as a radio, yes, but you get the distinct feeling the battery is struggling to cope. It certainly is bleeding edge technology.

Good: DAB radio phone, not very expensive either! £100!
Bad: Teething troubles - not sure exactly why my phone does some things
Comment: I think the phone is pretty good. There's a lot I haven't figured out on it yet, and I have had some trouble with some of the settings, but certainly not enough to warrant sending it back.
I was told Digital Radio is ALWAYS free to listen to on it, and not £5 a month, plus BBC1 will always be free to watch too. I haven't watched any TV on it as am not interested in this aspect of it yet, but I love the DAB. I wanted a portable DAB player, and I would have had to pay a lot more for one which didn't even have a loudspeaker on it. So for me it is the best portable DAB radio on the market, and I don't have to have my phone separate!
The screen is really big, nice and clear to see too - a text message will fit entirely on the screen.
The hotmail facility was very easy to use too.
