Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this phone for about 4 months now and I have to say that I really like it. The look of the phone is really appealing, and the interface is really quite new and different. Navigation is pretty smooth and intuitive (when it isn't lagging, more on that later) and I love the way the keys change depending on what mode your in. Call quality is crisp and loud. The display is very good quality and album images and text appear clear and sharp. The mp3 player on this phone is one of the best I've heard. I connect it to my car stereo and, as far as audio is concerned, it even blows away the Creative Zen I had before. Even the built in speakers are pretty good and don't sound as hollow and tiny as other phones.
Now for the bad. The reason I only gave this phone 3 stars is because of two pretty big issues. The first is the 2mp camera. For 2megapixels this produces some awuful shots. The colors are washed out, blurry, and grainy no matter what light you're in. Even the 1.3mp camera on my TMobile Dash took better pictures. Much much better pictures. The other issue is this ... the phone has 2GB of built in memory, but beware of using it to store songs. The built in memory is touchy at best. Some songs transferred to the phone mem just flat out wouldn't work. On top of that, putting songs on the phone memory causes the phone to experience some serious lagging. And it can get pretty bad, even hanging and lagging during calls. Forget calling any company that asks you to hit a series of mumbers to get to the right department, and punching in something like an account # is a nightmare. The only reason I didn't mark off heavily for this feature is because if you put songs on the micro sd only this seems to solve the problem. But you do have to set the phone to keep the phone memory seperate from the memory card. If it shares then it's the same issue.
So, a good mp3 phone, cool interface, but bad pictures and make sure you upgrade the free 1gb micro sd stick because the 2GB on the phone is pretty useless. Maybe a firmware upgrade will fix that later.
