What is it: Smart phone with 3.2-megapixel camera, stereo speakers and large colour screen
What we think: We like the large screen, camera and range of connectivity options but the keypad could be larger

What I like:
Good pictures
What I don't like:
Sloooow, buggy, very annoying flashing blue light
Review:
I really wanted to like this phone - unfortunately using this phone means hating this phone. I'll try to summarise my gripes:
1. Dead slow booting up
2. Long delay when opening contacts
3. Long delay when entering messages
4. Little blue light flashes every 4(!) seconds when the phone goes into sleep mode - not to warn you of a missed call, text or appointment - just to remind you that the phone is switched on
5. Calendar snooze function only has one option: 5 minutes. So there's no snoozing a birthday reminder for a day or a few hours.
6. Bluetooth connectivity is unreliable
7. The phone often "forgets" intermittent keystrokes when you're trying to quickly move between menus
8. Un-userfriendly calculator
9. Automatic keylock has been omitted - you can purchase(!) it as an optional add-on
Hands down the most annoying phone I've ever owned.

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
