"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
Nothing much.
What I don't like:
High spec at first glance turns out to be unuseable.
Review:
The first one failed at first power on, just wouldn't connect, should have got a refund then. But as my son really wanted a slider phone with all the toys we swapped for another one.
Battery life is hopeless, my knackered (well used and abused) 3 year old Nokia does better.
External memory, micro SD, is problematic, IF you can get one to work you need to buy a seperate custom USB cable, the Bluetooth can't see the card.
MP3's, well see the USB lead and micro SD issues above.
Overall sold on its 'apparent' spec, its actual useability is so poor I'd avoid one at all costs, it's caused so many arguments and tantrums at home that once it stops working I will take great delight in 'disposing' of it!
