Sunday, July 20, 2008This phone is awesome. I tried it out at a t-mobile store and it's really cool. This phone is just as good if not better than the razr2. I really want this phone but it is really expensive, so i may not be able to get it anytime soon.

Sunday, July 06, 2008this phone is really cool, and must be even better with the ability to access more functions, i have the unlcoked version that works with att its unbelievably easy and innovative to use, it is far from cheap it is sturdy and well made, i love the black candy bar design it looks very cool, i've heard more bad comments than good but believe me when i say this is a even better alternative to the razr2 i say it is one of the hottest phones on the market, music is a must, and i think it does a good if not better job being used as an mp3 player as a ipod, you can even access the radio, it has song id, voice command, it even has talking phone, which can read all of your contacts, text messages, notes, everything, buy this phone especially if you have t-mobile, its the best phone you can buy, even better than the nokia or sidekick, it does everything right, not just music, if anything when you read this, honestly get up right now and go buy one, these people are genius designers, now lets rokr!

8/9/2008 5:08:57 AMthis guys a fukn idiot lol, i work for t-mobile and believe me this guys dumber then a stump! i got this phone b4 he did and the reason he didnt get the headphones is cuz we sent him a demo! its still a real phone but its only for people who want to do reviews on it and retail stores that want to have one on display before it comes out! the short cut key on the left is for the camera and the FF n RW buttons are for skipping tracks! the touch sensative wheel is for FF n RW, also has PiX editor!

8/8/2008 10:45:46 PMi think you can do a phone upgrade if you qualify. I just did mine and the phone costs about $125 after $50 mail in rebate. it will be here in a few days. hope it lives up to the hype.
