We like:
Seamless design; glossy feel; red backlight on the touchpad; chequered keypad; expandable microSD slot; headset
We don't like:
Casing attracts fingerprints and is easy to scratch; occasionally unresponsive touchpad
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Chocolate Platinum features some cool upgrades to its predecessor -- 2-megapixel camera with auto-focus, an MP3 player and an expandable microSD slot. Our only issues with the Platinum are it doesn't have the same overall seamless quality that the original Chocolate phone had -- and the touch pad is still fiddly to use
