"I want to like it, but I don't"

What I like:

Fairly copmpact and with lots of features, but .....

What I don't like:

Impossible to read screen outdoors, crashes and locks too often

Review:

I really wanted to like this product - on paper it has everything, and the built in GPS was the icing on the cake! But the GPS is poor (trying to send you down umnade roads as the 'quickest route'!), the phone is unuseable outdoors as the screen is completely unreadable even with the backlight at max, and the whole system crashes one or twice a day needing a reset and re-boot. Out of 14 calls one day I only received 3 - the rest diverted immediately to voicemail. Once I answered a call and the system loaded the GPS then locked up hung! I never found out who had called me. For a business user this is totally unacceptable.

I guess you get the gist that its a great gadget, but is basically useless. Perhaps I just got a duff one but mine's going back for a refund.
