Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I really wanted this thing to work, but there were multiple problems with it that I simply could not deal with.
Generally, the phone is actually quite nice. The build quality is very good all things considered. Buttons felt nice, case was very sturdy, screen looked good, touch screen worked well. Call quality was decent. Reception was decent (Wifi was much more acceptable :P) It ran Java software quite well and even surfed the internet quite well using Opera...but that's about the end of it.
First drawback, this particular model DOES NOT have a TV tuner or FM radio as many others do. Even on the box it states it has an FM tuner, but there was no "App" or antenna.
Next, the apps are all locked. While this wasn't too bad, it got very annoying with the Opera app. Opera Mini 4.2 launched using the App button. However, it had 5.0 loaded, you just has go to through the Java menu to find it. Oh, and when I upgraded to the latest Opera, it downloaded some version for an Ericsson phone. While it worked, the keyboard was a little deformed.
Going on, I really wanted to use it to watch Youtube videos. However, anytime they were accessed, the screen would just go black then the unit would reboot. I found many complaints regarding this and even solutions, but nothing ever seemed to correct the problem.
Honestly, with some better, perhaps slightly more customizable software, this phone would have been pretty nice. But I simply couldn't deal with it as it was. In the end, I purchased a Nokia E63 for the same price (well a few bucks less!) and couldn't be more happy.
