"Don't believe the hype"
What I like:
It looks quite swish
What I don't like:
The features are half hearted and never quite get there.
Review:
The fundamental flaw with this phone is that the features it has are too flashy for the phone. The GIS is useless and I have never been able to use the Sat Nav as it can't find any satellites. The best I've been able to do is locate my position to within about 300,000 miles using Google maps.
The walkman aspect of the phone is equally useless and to flashy for the phone to copy with. It constantly freezes, skips, takes ages to find any of your music and is less reliable than a one legged donkey when it comes to transferring music.
Also, as other reviewers have pointed out, it regularly freezes at highly inconvenient moments, has begun to turn itself off at random points which is a nice trick and my earpiece has blown.
Other than that its brilliant and I would highly recommend it to people I don't like very much.

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
