Review:

I was really excited about buying this phone, it looked great, I heard and read good things about it, so I was bitterly disappointed when I actually got the phone and realised I was duped by the hype.
The look of it is fantastic but that's about it, the 'user guide' was useless and lacked information, the battery life is extremely poor (about 1 hour of talk time).
The volume for ringing and the music player is very poor due to only one speaker.
The camera is hard to use and is not good in the dark, and the video only lasts 15 secs.
When talking for awhile (after 20mins) the back gets hot due to the battery.
It's very sensitive to the touch and the 'rolling' control in the middle is not very good e.g when trying to sms you 'brush' the roller and lose everything.
You just lightly touch the pad and it rings someone.
Trying to write a sms is hard due to the fact that when you mispell a word you have to delete the whole word and start again.
Well I've only had it a week so I may find more wrong with it later.
Thanks for reading.
And I wouldn't recommend ANYONE to buy this phone.
