Advantages: good looking phone

Disadvantages: slow, lacks many good featues

I bought this phone because I loved the look of it.
I personally believe its the sexiest phone on the market at the moment with its sleek, fashionable finish and slim build.
However, if fails to contain all the features I would expect from a phone in 2008, though it has a decent camera, relatively good memory and a pretty good music player (which is also touch screen). The phone is very slow moving, often freezes and when typing a text the phone struggles to keep up with my words, forcing me to mis-spell. The dictionary also has a very restricted vocabulary, therefore becoming more time consuming than it should be to say its a feature built to save time.
Furthermore, though I was quite pleased to find that the phone had locks, and therefore allowed you to assign passwords to certain areas of the phone, this did not include photo or videos which I think is something that phones of a lower spec allow you to do. So this disappointed me.
My biggest complaint however if that the phone, though lacking in many features has very limited battery power. Making it important for me to charge my phone every night if I want to refrain from losing battery half way through the day.
Generally the phone serves well, however it takes a lot of care to keep it going through the day and definitely disables you if you are in a hurry to contact someone.
Though it is a style that attracts a lot of compliments, I advise you debate the worth of style vs spec and do not attempt to use in emergency situations!

Summary: nice phone if youre only after the sleek style
