Review:
I took this phone as a replacement for a big ol vario II on tmobile.
first impressions- its tiny. i keep losing it in my pocket, which is a good thing. its very straight forward to use- if you've ever used a sony erricson before you wont be confused by the menu set up.
It can hold 8gb of music- thats alot, up there with iphones, and is half the size. Best part for me is the fm transmitter. now THISis amazing. I've you have an itrip for your phone you'll understand just how good an idea this is. It basically means you can broadcast your music from your phone to a selection of FM frequencies, then tune your radio/car stereo in and enjoy yur music on the go.
Other things about this phone's features. Well- this is strange. When you take a snap, you can go view it on a map through gogle maps. yep. it places your newly taken snap on a google map. so you can build up a photo library on a map, which is a bloody novel concept. I am slightly scared by this however!
Great phone- you won't be disapointed.

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks

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
