HTC Magic Android Google 2 Unlocked SmartPhone--International Version with NoU.S. Warranty (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm an Apple guy. Always have been. I'm writing this on a MacBook Pro connected to an AirPort. I have an iPod, an Apple coffee mug, t-shirts from the various Macworld Expos I've attended, and even an Apple sticker on my car. So when it came time for me to join the 21st century and get my first "smart" phone, naturally I chose ... an HTC myTouch for T-Mobile.
Come again?
Okay, I've had iPhone envy for years now and have been spending my recent lunch hours playing with the new iPhone 3GS at the Apple Store in the mall connected to my office. I really like it, but I've been a happy T-Mobile customer for years now, since they were VoiceStream, and was reluctant to change carriers, especially with all the bad press about AT&T's coverage. (Apparently, there are so many iPhone users using their iPhones so much that the system can't handle the traffic, resulting in slow or no 3G connections and poor or non-existent call quality.) So the other day I stopped in at my local Radio Shack and found that they had the myTouch. None of them were "live," so the saleswoman let me pop my sim card into a brand new black one and play with it for a while. After she told me I could return the phone, without penalty, within 30 days if I didn't like it, I figured, why not? So I left the store with that new black myTouch in my pocket.
First impressions? It's a beautiful little phone. The screen is bright and colorful and I get a good connection to the internet and my e-mail. Calls are clear and strong, as always, and there are lots of free apps from the Android Market. The myTouch works seamlessly with my .Mac account, as well as my Gmail account, and everything is automatically synched between the phone and my Google calendar and contacts. I was a little concerned about no iTunes access, but there's a great free program called Double Twist that allows me to easily copy all of my content -- songs, photos, video, and more -- from my computer to the phone, so it's like having iTunes on the phone. Overall, it's a lot like an iPhone, only the T-Mobile service is cheaper than AT&T, and from all the complaints I've heard and read about, it's also more reliable.
Other reviewers have complained about the speed of e-mail, but my e-mails -- Gmail and my .Mac mail -- are very fast. I have the phone set to check every 5 minutes and have no lag at all. As for the keyboard, it's not that bad, but you can download the free HTC keyboard or buy the Better Keyboard or TouchPal, all of which work better -- problem solved.
So, at the end of 30 days, what am I going to do? The Apple-loving side of me would still like an iPhone, but there really isn't any need for one, given that the myTouch does just about everything the iPhone does, and it does it for less, and more reliably to boot. The iPhone undoubtedly has more available apps, but the Android Market already has thousands, most of which I couldn't care less about. Many more are sure to come. As much of an Apple fan as I am, I'm having a hard time justifying the extra cost of the AT&T service, particularly given all of the problems they're having. (I have lots of friends with iPhones and they all love it, but concede that it drops calls all the time, and that the call quality isn't that great. Call me old-fashioned, but I think a phone -- "smart" or not -- should be able to handle calls first and foremost.) And because the myTouch is still new, there aren't that many floating around yet, whereas the iPhone is now ubiquitous; even my 10 year old daughter's friend has one!
So, while I've only had it a couple weeks, I'm very impressed with the myTouch and think I'll be keeping it.

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic MP3 GSM Unlocked Cell Phone International Version Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this phone. Nokia gets a lot of flack for an ancient mobile OS (Symbian), but it is a very capable OS and always comes through for me in a pinch.
For the record, I now have a modded Samsung Galaxy S so this phone has been given to my brother, who still uses it to this day as his main phone.
I liked the qwerty thumb board. It is very 'clicky' and is great for texting and hammering out long emails (if in a pinch).
The music quality is very good, but I did drill a 'speaker grill' into the back of the case so that the sound is unobstructed.
If you need a basic phone with a proven rock solid mobile OS, this phone is for you.
If you want the latest and greatest with the best 'WOW!' factor, you are better off looking into an Samsung Galaxy S or iPhone 4 or HTC Desire/HD/Z.

HTC T7272 Touch Pro Unlocked Full Keyboard Touch Screen Quad Band Phone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The following review is for the XDA Serra, O2's UK version of the HTC Touch Pro (also known as the Raphael, T Mobile MDA Vario IV, AT&T Fuze and Sprint Touch Pro).
This is my third O2 XDA model. I`d previously used the XDA Mini S (aka HTC Wizard). I'd grown fond of the XDA Mini S but recall that the phone was a dog until O2 issued a major ROM upgrade about 6 months after its release.
In looking for a replacement for the XDA Mini S, I had the following criteria in mind;
* 3G (HSDPA) capable
* Good touch screen quality
* Single-handed operation
* Decent QWERTY keyboard - for me a must-have
* Preferably Windows Mobile 6.1 based (I'm wedded to a number of Windows Mobile applications including Outlook & Excel mobile, Ilium eWallet, Memory Map and Tom Tom Navigator)
* Good camera quality a nice-to-have but not paramount
* Available on an O2 UK Tariff (I wasn't prepared to pay a SIM-free price).
Candidates included the HTC Touch Pro, Sony Xperia X1, Nokia E71 and Samsung Omnia i900. I must confess to a (possibly irrational) antipathy to all things Apple so didn't consider the iPhone 3G, though I have no doubt that the iPhone is probably more user-friendly. It's the proprietary lock-ins with Apple that get me. The HTC Touch Pro is categorically not an "iPhone killer" (though the newer HTC Touch HD may well be).
The truth is, all of HTC's smartphone offerings have been exercises in managed expectation. They promise so much on paper but so often fail to deliver in terms of practicality. I often wonder if the professional reviewers who rave about HTC phones have actually used them in anger or are simply beguiled by the impressive specifications.
The Touch Pro is, along with the Touch HD, by far the best phone HTC have ever produced, but it is not without its flaws. I will admit that in the first few days of having received the XDA Serra I found the Touch Flo interface and GPS performance so frustrating that I seriously considered returning it to O2, but having persevered for a fortnight or so I am now much happier. So far, this is how the pros and cons stack up for me:
Pros:
1. Size, form factor and build quality.
2. Excellent screen resolution (640x480) and quality. Visibility in sunshine is very good.
3. Excellent slide out keyboard - far and away the best available.
4. Excellent phone sound quality.
5. Good 3G (HSDPA), Bluetooth and FM Radio performance.
6. Touch Flo interface makes single-handed operation feasible but the gestures take some getting used to. Helps to have small fingers.
7. Accepts up to 16GB microSD SDHC cards (though the need to remove the back cover to insert the memory card is seen by some as a disadvantage - personally I prefer it this way)
8. Magnetic stylus is less likely to drop out and get lost.
9. Uses standard mini USB connector for sync and charge.
10. Can charge from PC USB connection.
11. As with all Windows Mobile devices, syncing with PC via Activesync is very easy.
12. Huge variety of freeware and shareware available for the Windows Mobile platform, including some alternatives to the Touch Flo interface (mainly still in beta but very promising).
13. Teeter game - which uses the phone's built-in G-sensor - is great fun.
14. Very chic, for those who care about such things.
Cons:
1. Very expensive SIM-free.
2. "Joystick" functionality on central Navigation button is almost completely unusable and is - in my opinion - a significant design flaw.
3. Endurance with standard 1340mAh battery not great (especially if all radio options are enabled) but probably no worse than other phones in this class. Higher capacity (but bulkier) 1800mAh battery packs are available. I personally haven't found battery life to be an issue.
4. 3.2MP autofocus camera is a big improvement over earlier HTC models but is outclassed by the latest Sony, Nokia and Samsung camera phones. The LED camera flash is barely adequate in low light. If you're looking for a digital compact camera replacement this is not the phone for you.
5. Flaky Wi-Fi - needs to be set to `maximum performance' (at the expense of battery life) to get decent reception.
6. Built-in GPS is very temperamental. Initial lock can take anywhere between 5 and 30 minutes, though once lock is acquired, performance is OK in open ground. Urban reception is poor and the Assisted GPS function (which is disabled by default on the XDA Serra) doesn't appear to improve matters significantly. There are some performance enhancing tweaks recommended on various HTC forums, but the phone will never be a match for a dedicated handheld SiRF GPS and I imagine many people will find the internal GPS unusable in practice.
Note that you can always use an external Bluetooth GPS adapter such as the excellent Emtac BTGPS II or the one provided with some versions of Tom Tom Navigator.
7. Touch Flo interface a bit sluggish at times, but can be improved with some registry tweaking (Google the XDA Developers Forum). People who are happy to use a stylus will probably wish to disable the Touch Flo interface altogether.
8. Touch Flo interface cannot be customised, at least not without registry hacks.
9. Pressure needed for some touch screen gestures means a screen protector is advisable (one is provided in the box).
10. No built in headphone socket - needs special USB-to-jack adapter (a handy remote-control adapter with a standard 3.5mm jack is provided in the box).
11. Cannot sync/charge and use headphone adapter at the same time using the adapter provided, though it is possible to buy third party adapters for around £20 which do allow this.
12. Some relatively minor stability issues - expect to have to perform a soft-reset at least once a month.
I expect many of these issues will improve with the next ROM upgrade, though I have my doubts about the internal GPS.
Another reviewer has reported problems with accidental call answering. In fairness this is a hazard with many touch screen phones (I used to find this incredibly annoying with the XDA Mini S) but can generally be easily resolved by installing a freeware screen lock utility. I've found SU2U 1.35 (Slide To Unlock) works very well on the Touch Pro.
If you like Windows Mobile and need a slide-out keyboard, this is undoubtedly the best phone on the market. If you don't need the keyboard, you might want to consider the HTC Touch HD (which has recently tipped the Nokia E71 off the top of PC Pro's smartphone A-List).

HTC Snap S511 Phone, Black (Sprint) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The HTC Snap fixes everything I didn't like about the HTC Touch Pro. I traded my HTC Touch Pro for the Snap because I didn't care for the user interface and found myself frustrated with simple tasks like placing a call, or sending a text message.
The HTC Snap has an intuitive design similar to a the original BlackBerry without the trackwheel. It's easy to navigate to make a call, send a text message, surf the web, or play a game. It's not bulky like other smartphones, and has a thin profile. Yet, it's not too small to use.
The integrated keyboard is easy to use, unlike pullout keyboards like on the Mogul and HTC Touch Pro.
The snap also performed better when configuring my Microsoft Exchange Over the Air Active-Sync configuration. It automatically downloaded my server settings after I provided my email address and password. The HTC Touch Pro required manual configuration.
My only wish from the Snap is support for WIFI.

HTC S710 Vox Unlocked Smartphone with Windows Mobile 6.0, 2 MP Camera, Wi-Fi, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Black/Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the S710 a few weeks ago and I have been very happy with it so far. I had previously been using a Sony Ericsson W810i which was a great phone for personal use and as an MP3 player, but I needed a smartphone for work. I didn't want something as large as a Blackberry and wanted to avoid a touchscreen and stylus. The S710 was the perfect compromise.
I've never used a smartphone or Windows Mobile before so I can't say if WM6 is any improvement. I was surprised to find while editing my contacts that there is no copy and paste function. I was able to find an add on application but it seems a rather strange thing not to include in a smartphone. The S710 comes with HTC's homescreen and green color scheme which is a color that most closely resembles vomit. This can be removed using a debranding app. On such a beautiful looking device it's a shame that HTC chose such a nauseating interface.
And this is a beautiful phone. The all chrome face is a bit much for my taste, but isn't as prone to fingerprints as I expected and it contrasts nicely with the matte keys and the flat black. The sides and back are rubberized plastic which feels soft but durable in your hand. The QVGA screen is clear and bright even in sunlight.
The phone feels solid and rugged and is surprisingly heavy for it's size. But considering all that's packed into so small a space and the long battery life it's an extra weight I can handle. The slide out keyboard doesn't lock when closed and has a slight wiggle. It hasn't opened accidentally but it's a strange contrast to an otherwise sturdy phone. The keys on the keyboard are small but nicely spaced and give good tactile response. But if you have large primate hands, this is not the phone for you.
The earpiece is loud, which is great for talking on NYC streets, but has noticeable distortion. It bothered me at first since my old Sony Ericsson was so clear but I have gotten used to it now. The vibrate mode is rather weak, and I don't always feel it vibrate especially when I am walking.
The lack of 3G doesn't bother me since I mainly use the data connection for email which EDGE is fine for. The smaller sized screen isn't that great for viewing web pages anyway. WiFi works well and connects to my home access point faster than my laptop. AT&T made a surprising effort at helping me get it set up for data but ultimately I had to find the configuration posted in a forum and enter it manually.
PROS:
Keypad, QWERTY keyboard, smartphone in a small package; I haven't found any other phone like it.
CONS:
Keyboard wiggle
Sound distortion

(More customer reviews)The Garminfone is an excellent GPS unit and a "good" smart phone in one. If you are looking for a high end android device, this might not be the best phone for you because it runs version 1.6 of Android. If you need both a GPS and smart phone this is worth a serious look.
Pros:
Corporate email works well
There is plenty of storage space for downloading apps
If you happen to be out of cell signal range the GPS will continue to work
Comes with car charger and vehicle mount
The screen size is just right @ 3.5"
Cons:
Cannot customize the home screen other than the sidebar
Does not have 3.5mm headphone jack

This phone is designed to automatically connect to the best available network (3G or GSM/GPRS/EDGE) to provide faster data speeds when accessing the Web.
In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the via T-Mobile's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution"). This high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and e-mail on the go.

While this phone is optimized for use with T-Mobile's high-speed 3G network, many of its functions will also work well on the moderate-speed EDGE network. If you plan to access the Internet extensively on your phone, 3G network coverage may serve you best.

E-mail, instant messaging, and texting
Downloading ringtones, CallerTunes, wallpaper, light data files
Sending photographs via e-mail or picture messaging

Activities that work best on a 3G network:

Viewing content-heavy websites (lots of images or videos playing)
Viewing YouTube and other video files (they will play on EDGE, but require loading time)
Uploading large files (photos, videos, presentations) to sharing websites
Downloading large files from an e-mail or a website

T-Mobile's 3G network is currently available in more than 220 cities nationwide and covers more than 160 million people.

HTC Magic A6161 Android G2 Unlocked Phone with Quad-Band GSM, 3.2 MP Camera, MP3/Video Player, and MicroSD Slot--International Version with Warranty (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this HTC Magic for use while traveling outside the US, but I couldn't get it to work. My first suspicion came when I opened the box and found that it was a T-Mobile branded phone. Well, it was advertised as unlocked, so what could go wrong?
When I turned on the phone it took me to an Android screen and asked me to click on the Green Monster to begin. When I click it tried to connect to some "server", hangs for a few minutes, and fails. I tried different SIM cards for different networks, same result. I tried a SIM that has internet connectivity, failed again.
To make matters worse this phone does not appear to have wi-fi, so there is no other way to connect to Google's server's except through the phone network, which I can only assume is still tied to T-Mobile. There are many newer phones that offer both wifi and Bluetooth for less money.
I returned the phone without ever getting past the welcome screen. One star for wasting my time and effort.

HTC Touch Diamond P3700 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the European version of the Diamond for use in the US on ATT. I have not had any problems so far with voice service. Data service is slower than I had on my Blackjack, but I knew that would happen. The Diamond has Wifi and it has been easy to connect to my home network and to hot spots to get broadband internet service.
The Diamond was designed to be a one hand device. It really is possible to do everything with one hand, even use the camera. (I recommend using two hands when using any camera for better stability.) The 3.2 megapixel camera isn't bad for a mobile phone, certainly better than many I've used before- when there is sufficient light. There is no flash, so your indoor photography will be disappointing.
The Touch Flo interface which seemed almost like frosting on top of plain old Windows Mobile in other HTC touch devices, is very much a fully intergrated part of the system on the Diamond. It runs very well and is every bit as intuitive as other touch oriented devices. You can turn Touch Flo off, but I don't know why you'd want to.
Diamond's good looks demonstrate that Windows Mobile devices can be great looking as well as powerful. The phone is attractive off or on, but it also great to look at when you're working on it because of the VGA screen. After several days, it still startles me how much clearer text and graphics are on this phone.
Thanks HTC for including the Opera browser. You can still browse the web using pages for mobile units if you'd like with IE, but you will want to step up to the real internet with Opera. Scroll, pan, zoom if you need to, but with that VGA screen, you may not even need to do so.
Battery life on the Diamond is as advertised unless you make heavy use of Wifi or the music player or camera. These will significantly diminish your time between charges.
A few final points: yes, the phone collects fingerprints. So do all touch devices. Sound quality on calls has been good in my experience. Sound quality on the music player is not as good as on a dedicated MP3 device. The FM radio is a great feature. I hadn't come close to filling a 2Gb micro SD card on my Blackjack so the 4Gb internal storage on the Diamond should be sufficient. Will you master every touch move immediately? No. Within a day or so? Yes.
If you live in Europe or Asia or live in the US but don't need 3G service, the Diamond is a great phone. It's pretty darn close to great even with its present US limitation.

HTC Tattoo Unlocked Android Phone with 3MP Camera, WiFi and GPS--International Version with Warranty (Graphite) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The device is light and fits nicely in any pocket. The limited screen size, in itself, is not terribly noticed. Sense UI is beautiful, and the on screen keyboard is comfortable.
The main shortcomings are : 1)very poor reception 2) very poor battery life 3) Limited application availability on the market 4) poor camera
One would probably better spend some more for much more , or at least wait for wildfire.

Motorola Milestone XT720 Unlocked Android Phone with 8 MP Camera - International Version with No Warranty Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Motorola makes great devices which have the latest software, however once you buy the device you get no updates to it which makes it obsolete in a few months! Then they make a new version of the device with the newest software again to lure even more people to their trap. See Motorola Europe pages for example for comments on how Motorola is treating their customers.
[...]
Also in the US, they locked bootloaders of the newer phones which will soon create the same havoc it did as in Europe.
I would stay away from Motorola's products (and I wish that I never bought an Android phone from Motorola)

HTC Touch Pro2 Unlocked Phone with 3G EURO Standard, 3 MP Camera--International Version with No U.S. Warranty (Black/Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am using this device via an Executive trial courtesy of Verizon Wireless. First things first, it is 3G using a VzW SIM card. Not sure how available the SIM cards are, I am just reporting what I see when I looked under the "hood". It came with a local (for me) phone number which makes the SIM card all the more impressive. This is a US based demo unit hopefully, signs of things to come for VzW. On to the hardware.
Windows Mobile is often found to be lacking when compared to the iPhone. Is this an iPhone killer? Yes, if you are a Win Mobile devotee. Things that have been a struggle in the past, the virtual keyboard are finally done right. Letter selection is confirmed with a gentle vibration while the selected letter zooms out. When using the browser or addressing email the virtual keyboard adds a .com button to save a you few keystrokes. Not convinced that a virtual keyboard is the best way to type, use the QWERTY keyboard that slides, and yes tilts on the device. Want to watch your favorite You-Tube video, the 3G speed coupled with the super high resolution screen offer a winning combination for doing just that. Email, texting no worries, the HTC Touch Flo interface offers elegant ways for you to read and send messages on the device. Want to take pictures? No worries as this device comes with an adequate 3.2 Megapixel camera. Do you want your contact book to be linked to Facebook? The software on the device provides this integration.
Other nice touches abound on the device. Web browsing for example is provided by either Opera or Pocket IE. The Opera browser stands head and shoulders above Pocket Explorer. The browser is easy to use and while you can't zoom by "pinching" the screen, you can zoom by rolling your finger across the bottom of the screen. The phone itself presents a minimum number of buttons on the device, making it easy for one handed operation. The device is most intuitive to use proven by the fact that my demo came without a user guide or prerequisite install CD. Despite this missing documentation I was able to get up and running in no time.
A perfect Smartphone, no but then neither are any of the other 20 or so that I have used in the past 2 years. For example, it is certainly a bit beefy. In fact when compared to the Omnia Touch that I currently use, this phone is easily twice the weight and thickness. Would I buy it to use as my everyday phone...a resounding yes. Win Mobile is the OS I need to use based upon software requirements at my job. Of the Win Mobile devices I have used in the past this one is hands down the best.
Now if I could only figure out how to keep this device after the demo period...

Motorola Milestone XT720 Unlocked Cell Phone. 1700/2100MHZ for Tmobile 3G. 8MP Camera with Xenon flash. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although the listing mentions this phone for use on T-Mobile, I was unable to get it to access internet via their network, even after much searching for settings and so forth. That being said, once I went overseas, I found this phone quite easy to set-up and use. The quality of photos produced by the 8MP camera is quite amazing and I manage to get some quite decent shots despite the inherent limitations of a compact camera. I do find it rather annoying how long it takes to wait before I can take the next shot, however, and find myself frequently pressing the camera button several times to force it to hurry up.
The GPS works quite quickly and I have had no trouble getting an accurate signal in either the UK or NZ. There are 3 apps on the phone for this - Maps, Motonav and Navigation, but I am only able to get the Maps app to work for me. Motonav requires a Motonav SD Card of some sort (must be available in Europe). Navigation is actually Google Maps Navigation and is not available in every area I have checked.
Call quality is quite good with this phone and I have had no dropped calls whatsoever. When the phone is on vibrate mode, however, I can't set it up to vibrate for any text messages, so bear that in mind if you do a lot of texting. Ringtones are somewhat small in choice but I think you can download more. The alarm does work with sound even in vibrate or silent mode, which is an improvement over other phones I've had.
The internet browser works well. There is an Email app on the phone which I found super annoying when setting up my Yahoo! Mail account. Instead, use the Yahoo! Mail app, and of course you'll need a Gmail account for this phone anyway. The Email app does work well for my Mobile Me email, however. Contacts and Calendar are fine to work with, and the screen is pretty responsive and accurate, although occasionally it enters the wrong character from an adjacent key if I'm going too quickly. As others have mentioned, the responsive vibration when you touch the screen is quite a neat feature and very gratifying.
My only other complaints are that the home screens seem to have problems with placing and organizing widgets - it seems like there's enough space, yet sometimes I am unable to put one more icon on my main screen. The world clock widget I downloaded for free is not as nice or user-friendly as the iPhone clock feature (having recently switched from a 3G model). My Sign is quite a neat feature. So far, I have not tried the radio or any voice commands, so cannot comment on those.
Finally, this is one of the newer phones and ships with Android 2.1, which was a big factor in my not going for something else with 1.6, as I have read reports from others that this makes a big difference. In conclusion, if I was remaining in the USA only, I would really need to do more homework on seeing if I could get internet access with the darn thing - admittedly I was experimenting with a prepaid T-Mobile SIM, and their on-account plans may be a different story. This model is apparently sold by one cell phone provider in the USA, so it is possible, just a matter of getting the right settings and working with a company that will support your unlocked phone adequately.
This phone is packed with many features and pretty nifty HD video capabilities, plus is easy to use and feels solid in the hand. An excellent all-around choice provided you ensure you can access internet via your mobile network provider (otherwise you'd be stuck to just wifi access).

HTC HD2 T8585 Unlocked Smartphone with 5 MP Camera, Windows Mobile 6.5, Wi-Fi, gps navigation - International Version with Warranty (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received mine in the end of December. A month is probably not enough to discover all bugs but so far I'm happy with the phone.
First of all, it is really fast. The 1GHz processor does it's job.
The screen resolution is high and the screen size is big enough to surf the web with comfort.
HTC shell is something new to me (I used to have E-ten with Spb Mobile shell) but getting used to it.
Cannot say that I'm impressed with the still picture quality (SE phones have better pictures with less Mpx) but video recording is relatively good. There is no button for shutter so you always have to click on the screen to take picture - not convenient.
I need to charge my phone every second day - that definitely exceeded my expectations, taking into consideration fast processor and big hi-res screen.
The screen uses almost full width of the body, which sometimes causes unexpected clicks when I grab the phone (slowly getting used to it). When browsing e-mails the shell has button "reply to all" on the left side and when you click it, it changes to "send". One time I grabbed the phone and it replied to all and sent an empty message to a huge distribution list. So keep it in mind and be careful ;) I hope there will be a way to protect it somehow.
The phone is bigger than I expected - it's exactly the size of 12oz beer can (you can hide one behind the phone).
The sound level and quality in conversations is excellent. Also, my Highlander hands-free connects very quickly with good sound level.
So far I did not have chance to use built-in GPS. I don't expect anything special comparing to other similar phones.
It does not have a stylus. If you turn the phone, full size keyboard is big enough but.. I think I will get a stylus. At least you need one, when you surf Internet.
Overall - some little flaws, which I found so far, will not be enough to downgrade my 5 star rating. I really enjoy the phone and recommend it to others who is ready to spend [...] bucks on a gadget.
