"Don't believe the hype"
What I like:
Pannels, nice idea
What I don't like:
You get nothing of substance for its size
Review:
Bought one this morning from Carphone Warehouse, took it straight back in the afternoon. Felt like I was using an old Ipaq pda! Apart from the "Pannels/windows" view, its the same Windows mobile - feels outdated compared to whats available now. Sluggish, screen very small, overall operaitions very fiddly. Camera very bad as is Video...Speaker sound very low and tinny (Blackberrry bold puts it to shame - in so many different areas.). Just did not understand what I was getting extra for the size of the device. There are loads more phones cheaper and can do same or better....Oh I forgot to mention, they keyboard feels too wide, and keys are too sunk in...
Good 8 months ago maybe...

Latest Mobile phone Reviews
BlackBerry Storm 2
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
