"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
That it works, if you are blind. If you are blind consider yourself lucky.
What I don't like:
That quality is very cheap, low. It wears & tears too fast. Some features missing.
Review:
Poor quality of it is the first thing I'll mention here. I tried to put my memory card in it and I didn't understand how and the instructions were less than no at all so I broke it. I taught it was my mistake but it wasn't cos I put my cushions on the headphones and they broke while I was putting. I thaught I wasn't careful but I tried second one and it broke too. I had Sony Ericsson w850i and the cushions for those headphones never broke even I never cared putting on and cleaned them too many times.
Little thing but if put together you can see Skypephone in a bin very soon. Coincidence? No way. Then not even first week passed and the battery cover of my black model started coming off cos it was too hot cos they don't know how to make a basic phone. I have MOTOFONE F3 and it was so cheap that I can't think how it's still like new and working compared to a skyphone doesn't deserve a big letter or none at all maybe even forget it and remember just how bad it was back then. I believe they didn't use much if any quality in making it. Then that annoying T9 dictionary is on almost everytime I write something and nowhere it says I can switch it off not even on the net. So I hate to switch from T9 to normal too many times and it's pain in the a**. Three wasn't very reliable at first maybe never. And it's screwing Skype's name but maybe there isn't such name, it had some problems like three. Same guys doing same thing, I'll be soon out of it if someone smarter than them find a better thing cos you want run for your life, what a joke. One of the worst phones I ever had. It's like that Epic movie so terrible!
Battery cover slides off while plugging charger or just touching it. Skype's voice sound's cheap and text messaging a little slow but working. It's like a new car about which you stop worrying very soon because there is almost nothing worse that can happen it's already so bad.

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
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
