  This is not a good smartphone!

  by Susanne_S on September 26, 2010

  Pros: Battery life, Size/Weight but that's about it.

  Cons: Way overpriced for what you get. Internet web browser painfully slow and often never does load up the page. Text messaging not reliable. Even with all the tower bars up it will not be able to send simple text. Screen locks up ALL the time.

  Summary: I really have nothing good to say about this phone. The screen locks up ALL the time. I have to reset by taking out battery. Touch screen is either too ...

  Summary: I really have nothing good to say about this phone. The screen locks up ALL the time. I have to reset by taking out battery. Touch screen is either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Accidently dials out but when I lock touch screen I can't unlock it. I often end up missing calls because the touch screen is not working for me to accept call. When using the web browser the screen text is microscopic and then when I try zooming it takes forever to load. The phone was way overpriced and non of the main electronic stores carry any accessories for it. Including the AT&T stores! Text messages have to be resent multiple times even when I am in a good reception area and there are multiple tower bars. Camera function is OK. Battery life is reasonable. Overall, I am totally disappointed with this phone. Not sure what smartphone to pick next.

  OK if you are already familiar with Win Mobile

  by Sensei Terrie on July 18, 2010

  Pros: Basic Win Mobile phone, decent reception and few dropped calls. Downloads email from server and general basic functions, good (not great) battery life: 48-72 hours

  Cons: Limited hot button reassignment. I had more variability with Win Mobile 5 & 6. I expected more w/ 6.5
  difficult widget "scroll" featureCamera difficult to fiqure out.
  Unusual "today" screen with limited personalization

  Summary: The sad thing is that I "had to have this phone" but could not find ine to try out before I bought it. (ATT only had it available on the ...

  Summary: The sad thing is that I "had to have this phone" but could not find ine to try out before I bought it. (ATT only had it available on the web. I've used several windows mobile phones, 2 different Treos and other Palm OS phones. I was hoping for a good mix of "all of the above." This was not it, but it is sufficent for now. I guess I'll just have to keep waiting and looking! Reasonable phone, but not the smartphone I was hoping for.

  Summary: very complicated and not user friendly difficult to tell if there was a missed call or if you have received a text message, very small text and hard to read, buttons for typing are small and hard to use, touch screen doesn't work very well, slow and difficult to download apps. the most non-user friendly phone I have ever used, even reading the direction book didn't help with figuring this thing out. can't personalize and arrange the main screen, only gives the option to move icons up to top or down to bottom. just an all around bad experience using this phone got and iphone instead much easier to figure out how to use!

  Good for techies

  by unicron2e on March 26, 2010

  Pros: Keyboard is above average (but I miss the old treo w!)
  
  Very utilitarian, and you can make it into a fun device

  Cons: winmo standard almost anything sucks. use workarounds, until I got G-Alarm it didn't even function as a real alarm device
  
  FiLE MAnagament

  Summary: Phone: excellent, access contacts easily
  
  Keyboard: Good enough keyboard -most mobile keyboards really aren't
  
  Screen: Utilitarian touch functionality, it's not a touch-toy in any way though, not with ...

  Summary: Phone: excellent, access contacts easily
  
  Keyboard: Good enough keyboard -most mobile keyboards really aren't
  
  Screen: Utilitarian touch functionality, it's not a touch-toy in any way though, not with the standard software
  
  Features: Media player works -runs in background nicely, etc; if stripped-down, today screen is informative; assignable shortcut buttons make operation smooth. Media management is way awkward with WinMo, you have to sort through file folders is all.
  
  Bad calendar is a headache, but like I found for the horrible alarm (with G-Alarm), there are usually workarounds.
  
  All in all, very good for the seasoned user

  Great Phone but not in marginal areas

  by mobile warrior on February 11, 2010

  Pros: The Keyboard on this phone rates high up there with the Moto Q, my current phone. It is solid, feels great in your hand and is easy to use.

  Cons: I am connected 24/7 to our Company's Exchange Server and with 3G and Push Email and an average day of talk the battery was dead. Holds a marginal 3G signal and drops call vs. strong 2G. Phone turned itself off twice in 2 days.

  Summary: I have used every smart phone from a Palm to a Blackberry, a Tilt 2 to a Blackberry 9700. I use the phone for business and connect to my company'...

  Summary: I have used every smart phone from a Palm to a Blackberry, a Tilt 2 to a Blackberry 9700. I use the phone for business and connect to my company's Exchange Server and email push. This phone ranks up there with the Moto Q for it's solid feel and keyboard. However, I had to return it as in a 3G area with Exchange push and average talk the battery would only last until about 4pm; the unit did turn itself off twice and it will hold a weak 3g signal and drop calls when a stronger 2g is available. So, if you live in a metro area with solid signal, this is the business phone for you. If you live in an area with 2g and 3g with rural coverage issues you still cannot beat a Moto Q.

  by gsinghjk on February 4, 2010

  Cons: screen resolution seems low
