"Doesn't live up to expectations by a long way"
What I like:
DAB radio, screen, headset
What I don't like:
Poor battery life, poor network coverage on SMS send only, customer support
Review:
Cannot handle all of the functions offered - if a typical day is browse, send SMS, make calls and possibly look at TV - and all on the move - the battery lasts no more than two hours. It's quite difficult to use and customer support is not geared up to dealing with a Windows mobile phone. Browsing and email hikes the monthly bill up as well.
The DAB radio is very good even on trains, but there's no Qwerty keyboard.
As a phone, yes, as a radio, yes, but you get the distinct feeling the battery is struggling to cope. It certainly is bleeding edge technology.

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks

Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
