Great phone but still has a few things to be desired

Pros: All in all the design is great. the touch sensitive pad is tricky at first but after a little practice becomes very easy to use. Also the batter and extended battery are superb! Media player is awesome. T9 texting is incredible with the ability to add words to the dictionary and even search through contacts and text inbox for new words. No more tap typing people's names.

Cons: You have to flip the phone back an forth a lot to use some features. Also google maps is pretty much worthless on this phone because you can't use numbers and if you flip it to the phone side it will terminate the app. Huge let down as this phone is gps capable and I use google maps on my phone several times a day. Almost considering taking it back for this reason alone.

Summary: Solid phone with incredible batter life. Very sleek and slim out of the case and very functional as a phone and a media player. Unfortunately, as I mentioned some things are a bit challenging or impossible to use on this phone. would have been the perfect phone if you could still use the number keys while on the media side of the phone without using the flip button.
