Review:

Its hard to know where to start, so forgive the list format, there is just so much to cover;
1. battery life is truly appalling and stops it being a reliable business tool.
2. windows 6.1 does not synch contacts and diary with Outlook. There is no fix other than to roll back to 6.0
3. the browser is awful. it takes for ever to load and naviagtion is terrible. Teletext is more cutting edge than this.
4. windows is prone to just hanging
5. the touch screen is not very responsive and the interface is not intuitive, try putting a call on mute or calling up the keyboard to enter numbers whilst on a call
6. it is too hard to see the screen in sunlight so entering a pin to open up the phone is a pantomime.
7. The ring tone volume is too quiet, I simply miss too many calls

I don't usually complain about much but this product is so bad I feel compelled to make sure people think twice, three times, before buying this. Interestingly, another colleague confirmed my view on the phone yesterday - we are both going back to Blackberries!
