"Disappointing, inherently a great phone with significant drawbacks"
What I like:
Design, Nokia interface
What I don't like:
Small fonts, joystick, on/off button
Review:
I put up with this phone for 4 months determined to like it, as fundementally it's a great phone, but I got fed up squinting to read the very small fonts on the superbly clear screen (I wear varifocals but even so...) which cannot be altered unlike most other Nokia phones. The joystick can be disabled but is a pain (literally) and the on/off button almost impossible to access. Additionally the phone is fairly slow. All I want is a small business phone with the usual Nokia reliability and functionality, variable size fonts alone would almost certainly have caused me to rate this as a 7 and made it fun 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
