Advantages: Looks good, vibrate feedback, widgets

Disadvantages: Very fragile and temperamental

I was drawn to this phone by its large screen, movable widgets and 5MP camera. It rested in the hand well and I felt comfortable texting on the screen - something I had never done before. It has a vibrate feedback so it almost feels like you're pushing buttons and is reassuring.
I got on with this phone well, having an intuitive interface. The widgets can be useful. Sometimes I get bored of them and just take them all off - only to find them back on again at the end of the day when I've wanted to know the date, the time and constantly change from the 'normal' to 'silent' setting.
The inbox maxs out at a rather dissapointing average of 200 messages, which is unacceptable of a phone which has quite a bit of inbuilt memory. This leads to me emptying my inbox frequently.
I find the camera of good quality, yet after taking the photo a crisp photo appears on the screen which then subsequently goes blurry and pixelated which is rather disconserting.
About 2 months after I got this phone I dropped it about a metre height onto my floor and the vibrate stopped working full stop. I never bothered to fix it but it has been a big disadvantage - a phone shouldn't be that fragile.
Overall it's a good phone if you look after it, protect the screen as dirt and scratches build up - which for a phone based purely on touch screen is not useful.

Summary: A good phone if you treat it well
