Terrible

IEverything about this phone was bad. At first it didn't work, but after repairs it "worked", if you can call android at it's best "working". I'm so glad that I got the Lumia 900 instead, windows phone is amazing!

Lovely Concept, Poor Execution.
12 years ago
In a market where actual hard-button QWERTY keyboards are quickly becoming obsolete, I was thrilled to find this phone almost two years back, believing it may very well be the last phone with such a keyboard I will ever own.
The general design of the phone is excellent. I have heard some complaints of the keyboard not being raised enough for ease of use. For me, this particular design 'flaw' never bothered me. The screen is a gem. Bright, clear, vibrant colors. I have never had a problem with the slightest crack or scratch on the glass, it is virtually indestructible, it seems.
The speed of the phone's functions is quite good. The camera is lovely, with great resolution.
This truly would be my dream phone, if not for one crippling fact : They just don't last.
The first one I got, I loved it from day one. Until the problems started. It had been a little over half a year when it began. The jack malfunctioned in some way and it became a dreaded task to get the charger positioned in my phone JUST RIGHT so it would charge. It all went downhill from there, with numerous software and hardware problems.
And then someone did me a favor and stole it when I left it behind at a restaurant.
As it happened, my local electronics store had ONE left and I quickly snatched it up, seeing as it was free (I used my dad's upgrade with his permission). I was hoping that perhaps, THIS time, I would have better luck.
Boy was I wrong.
Another half a year, and it currently cannot be taken off the charger or it will die almost instantly. I'm told this is just a straight up battery issue, and I am being sent one. I cannot help but notice the trend, though, and even if a new battery does fix my immediate problem, I fear it will only be a matter of time before it deteriorates farther.
If someone could make a phone very similar to this, and what's more, keep it on the market, it would make me a very happy camper indeed. I'm sure there's others like me out there that don't like touch keyboards. But alas it seems we are outnumbered.
So, bottom line : Awesome phone. Short life. Sad face. =[

I went thru 3 of these phones & I really loved the design but eventually they wouldn't hold charge, calls wouldn't come thru & then would just shut down on its on
Really, really loved the design but some thing is flawed in the specs

Great Phone

This device was a little to basic for me. However, it served it's purpose wonderfully! Not many devices have the full keyboard anymore. This one was easy to use for the size of my hands.
