Advantages: Screen resolution, Camera, Mp3 player

Disadvantages: Everything else, because of the OS

This was my first taste of HTC. At first, I was immediately attracted by the style & shape of the phone, then the spc sheet, which looked immaculate.

Little did I know, there were surprises for me.

First thing, the screen size 2.8 touch sensitive, resolution is just fantastic. One of the best there is. The keypad is slightly too soft and not very responsive, and the touch sensitive keypad isn't very good either.

The good thing is the camera, which is 3.2MP but the quality of the images are great - better than most. The 4GB internal memory is good enough for some time, for some Mp3 songs and images, and maybe some videos. But it doesn't have an external memory slot, which is a shame.

The bad thing: the worst thing - the windows mobile. I can't stress this enough, it really is the fiddliest, most buggy slow thing ever made. Hard to phone, hard to save new contacts, hard to text and manage. What is with Windows???

HTC touch flow is interesting but not really good enough. Symbian is the way to go.

Summary: Not worth it
