Pros: Light weight, small size, good battery life
Cons: Too complicated, useless web browser, lots of features but not good at any of them
The Bottom Line: Seems like it was released before engineers finished developing it. The design has some truly stunning oversights. An overcomplicated device that still lacks simple functions that the core audience needs.

The Bottom Line: This is a great and functional phone. It's reasonably priced for all that it can do.
