Good: Great form factor, great size, Full QWERTY keyboard, Intuitive PIM software, Plenty of applications, including Google Maps and Blazer web browser, Perfect price point

Abstract: when I have received the phone, I really didn’t know what to do with it, as it’s really different than Windows Mobile-based combo device or Symbian smartphones that are so popular nowadays. Until the end of the testing period, however, I...
Abstract: At least access to most of the services was extremely easy thanks to a dedicated tab on the touchscreen. The usual options such as voicemail, messaging, email, etc could all be found and quickly accessed here. The 1.3-megapixel camera and pTunes media...
