Good: Fantastic access to the Internet
Bad: Slightly buggy O2 phone service
Comment: I adore this device. If you've ever driven yourself mad trying to surf the web with a mobile phone, your worries are over. This phone has access to the Internet that's about 85% of what you get on your desktop, which is fantastic when you're on the road. (And a real life saver when I first got to London and had no good access to the Internet at all). It has a tonne of other features that I'm still trying to figure out how to use. For phone calls, I'd recommend you get the smallest possible Bluetooth earpiece you can find, of course. But in a pinch, you can make a call with no earpiece. Sound is good.
The only little complaint I have is with the O2 service. It's fine overall, really. But my pals in the US have trouble getting through occasionally. And, strangely, sometimes I go to pick up the phone and it hangs up on the caller. I call back, apologise, and we're off and running.

Good: Features, flexibility, latest technology
Bad: Too little internal memory (100MB)
Comment: For what it is, I think this is a brilliant device. Yes, it is a bit bulky but I haven't found this to be a problem at all. It takes a while to get used to the way you make voice calls, but that took a few days and I love this little device.

Good: Keyboard, Microsoft synchronicity, Internet Explorer, Skype
Bad: Camera quality
Comment: I have been living with my XDA Exec for about four months and it manages to meet all of my needs. I have found no trouble using the phone features without the use of a Bluetooth headset and the voice dialing is a great asset.
Part of my work involves logging on and managing website content for a number of sites. Since having this phone I no longer need my laptop as I can log on and do my work from anywhere. Presentations have also been easy, just load on the PowerPoint presentation then connect to PC at destination.
I have also found I no longer need to cram my pockets with my MP3 player, USB data key etc, this does the lot.
The only disappointment I have encountered is with the quality of the pictures taken on the camera.
I have downloaded a number of third-party software packages including SKYPE, none of which I have encountered any problems with.
I would recommend this phone to any business user, or recreational user looking for an entertainment device.
