"Good, but mind that screen...."
What I like:
Expandable memory, sound quality, screen
What I don't like:
Vulnerable large screen, no FM radio, glitchy software
Review:
A good all round smartphone running Windows Mobile with impressive battery life. Easy to link to a PC and swap files/install new software. Good as a music player if you stick a 512MB SD card in it. The only problem is the screen; it breaks as soon as look at it, but if you can live with that it is a useful, well built phone. It isn't the best signal receiver I have had if you live in a weak strength area. Also, the software can lock up occasionally, particularly when using Bluetooth search/sync functions.

Latest Mobile phone Reviews
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
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
