A bit of heaven!
I want to make this quick and to the point. This phone is awesome and worth every penny. I actually cannot stop looking and playing around with it. A couple of great things about this phone, you can hear it when it rings also the speaker quality is above and beyond. The camera is excellent! I can actually take photos at night and see them. You will love this phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Phone, Expensive Services-
It is a slider phone, instead of a flip, so I can have it open on my car's dash and it's slim to fit in any pocket. The buttons are small, but we are all used to that by now. Sure it also has the obligatory camera and video, but it is 2.0 mega-pixels which is better than most. It provides support for "PictBridge technology" so you can print your photos without the need of a PC, but again, 2.0 mega-pixels is good for the internet, built not great for printing out.
It is a Walkman that shuffles the songs with just a shake of your wrist. With the "TrackID" service, you just identify any song that you can hear by just recording a bit of the song (using the microphone, like at `Starbucks'). This features costs $3.99/month!!! Later, you can send the file for recognition. It gives you the name, artist and album right to your phone. That's cool.
You have FM radio access and a slot for extra memory for songs, pics, video, etc. The ear buds are actually good quality and are attached along with a microphone (for hands free or finding that bit of song). It has all your high-speed mobile internet access, web browser, email, messaging, Java support needs and plenty of the basic games and is "Bluetooth" compatible. You need to buy UNLIMITED DATA USAGE from your server which can be about $20-$40/month!
If you like listening to music while working out, the integrated motion sensor counts your steps, your calories and monitors your running speed, distance and time. Your workout results are stored in your phone so you can monitor your progress. This is free, thankfully.
There is even a calendar, place for notes, an alarm, a calculator, stopwatch and timer! There are plenty of good free ring tones and more you can buy on-line. There's more you can BUY!
But what I like best is this phone has one of the cleanest, clearest and brightest (adjustable for night) screens available. Great phone, but the extras will cost you!
Not so great...
I got this in pink and mainly got it because it was cute. Big mistake. The numbers crack within the first month. The music button is sensitive and gets quite annoying when in your pocket it goes off. I've had it for a year now (which is the only upside that it lasted that long) and it does occasionally freeze, drop phone calls, and i can now barely hear what the other person is saying with the volume all the way up. Its also not very durable. If you get this phone get a warrenty.
