"Difficult to use"
What I like:
The pictures that I can watch, and purchase with Add One's at a reasonable price. The connection to the Internet is good. You just have to press 1 key
What I don't like:
The titchy keyboard and the slowness of entering text!! The font is too light on the screen and in an emergency, would be difficult to read
Review:
I wish that I had looked this review up on the Net, before hiring the phone on a monthly basis. As I am still within my fortnight's trial I am in a position to return the phone. I am saddened that what appear to be some good photographs, cannot be transferred to my PC. I certainly am NOT purchasing the software to enable me to do so. When I tried to enter Contacts, the small keypad made this so hard.
All in all, this experience has taught me to be much more careful of investigating before I commit myself. I am saddened about these remarks, but the keyboard, text function, is almost impossible to use. For poor-sighted people, this is NOT the phone to use.

BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
