We like:

Incredibly thin form factor; bright colour screen; speakerphone; Bluetooth

We don't like:

Lack of external memory slot; bump on the back where the camera is; Internet button instead of a menu button in the middle of the navigation key

CNET UK judgement:

If you're looking for a thin, lightweight phone, then the X820 is definitely worth checking out. Aside from measuring only 6.9mm thin it features a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, speakerphone and a bright colour screen. It seems as though the time when many features meant a large phone is drawing to a close
