"I want to like it, but I don't"
What I like:
large screen, looks sleek
What I don't like:
Plasticky, those awful touch sensitive buttons!
Review:
This wasn't the phone I wanted (that was the G600...out of stock) but was persuaded into by Vodafone, it looked good so I went with it.
Having tried it for a week it's now on it's jolly little way back to Vodafone, it's awful, the touch sensitive keys drive me crazy, I thought I might get used to them but last night reduced me to a wreck, just one small swipe over those buttons and the whole message you were writing disappears and you're on Vodafone Live...again.
The casing is plastic and shiny I was so worried about scratching it I even started looking for some sort of silly fabric bag I'd seen someone else with to protect it, then I came to my senses and rang Vodafone to return it.
Ahh my struggle is over

Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
