I’m not a major cell phone user, I received this as a gift. However, I am fairly current on technology, and while this will not replace a smartphone like the droid or iphone, it is an incredibly reasonable little piece of wonder. The stats speak for themselves, but I can add a bit.
Pros: Quality build. It just feels GOOD in your hand, like it’s solid and isn’t waiting to spring the battery cover off in your pocket
extremely potent, (but tinny) built in speaker.
decent access capabilities, like browser and gps.
All the major installed apps seem to work pretty well, [...] works fine on the default browser, etc.
Cons: murky touch response. sometimes you’ll need to type a bit slower to let it keep up, especially in higher processing requirements like
browsing online or long texts.
default browser is crap.
“sleep” button goes off quite easily, and its right beside the camera button, so you may find a lot of images of the inside of your pocket.
as of this writing, there is almost zero 3rd party software support. Can’t seem to get Opera Mini to work on it.
can’t move installed apps to taskbar/desktop areas, have to go through java menus to access all your stuff.
It’s not perfect, and it’s not a replacement for a serious mobile device like Blackberry, iPhone, whatever, but for what it is and it’s intent, it definitely exceeds that. I gave it a 3 because its SUPPOSED to be an average low budget phone with good features, so I rated it as such. But don’t read that as it’s not a worthy device, if you want mobile access to the internet, a touchscreen with a decent built in mp3 player, and a few other toys like GPS (that only seems to work in 3G areas naturally) then I would heartily recommend this.
