"Almost, but not quite"
What I like:
The slideout keyboard and the easy sync with Outlook
What I don't like:
Flakey Bluetooth connectivity and easily breakable keypad
Review:
This was my first attempt at replacing my separate HP PDA and phone with a single unit and it worked...almost. The screen layout is familiar from the PDA and the slideout keyboard great when I need it. However, I always had problems getting the Bluetooth to start up reliably -- it would take ages trying to start and then fail so I ended up trying to start it then immediately removing the battery and rebooting which kidded it into thinking it would work from startup. Also the end call button is very fragile and has finally dropped off and been lost -- judging from various pictures on ebay, this appears to be not uncommon. I would really like to like this phone but it's not quite there.
