"Flawed Phone! Stay away!"
The good: Speaker phone, GPS, people mistake it for an iPhone, The bad: Touch phone doesn't work correctly, battery life is terrible, keypad meant for very small fingersSummary: 1. I got the phone 10 months ago and the battery no longer keeps a charge. I practice good battery life skills: mostly charged but will drain it once a month. I've had other phones that can keep a charge for years. This one didn't even make it a year. I'm needing to buy a new battery.2. Depending on the environmental conditions, the phone will call all by itself. I will open it up and then it will either call the last person who I called or called me or it will call the first address in the contacts. I'm sure Andy's Jazz Club in Chicago, IL is getting sick of my phone calling them once a day without me knowing.
3. The whole touch thing takes a lot of getting used to and it's not worth it. My wife has buttons on her phone and now I have button envy.
4. The camera is almost impossible to whip out and get a fast photo. It just doesn't fit in your hand well.
5. I like the sliding feature and the GPS. The GPS system's not too bad for a phone.
6. I don't have huge fingers but I don't have twigs. It's very difficult for me to speed dial while holding down a button. It takes too long.
Please don't waste your $ on a chocolate phone. Just go get an iPhone.
