We like:
Touchpad; HSDPA; build quality
We don't like:
Lack of xenon flash on the camera; volume during calls could be louder
CNET UK judgement:
At first, we thought this was going to be a phone with a gimmicky touchpad. After using it for some time, we've come to really like it. Not only does it look good but it works well and is a nice addition to Samsung's massive slider phone portfolio
