Review: I bought this phone as a replacement for the Prada, liked the touch screen but needed some real buttons as well.

The phone works well, but several problems I have had is how to close an application, you need to go to the task manager to close an app rather than just exiting it, on some occasions I have had 15 apps open at the same time and the phone runs like a dog, also the web interface, you can have multiple tabs but you can't then close a tab !!!
Pros: Music playing and storage is great, I have 140 albums at 330kbps on there and it is great.

The quality of build is great (none of the reported issues with the test model above)

The battery life is amazing on a full charge I can go 6 days without another charge using the music player or games for at least 1 hour a day on that

I have the desktop stand and the syncro between the phone and computer is seamless and so easy to use


Cons: The menu system is slow

Unable to close Apps without use of the task bar

The roll wheel is in the wrong place when doing certain tasks

overall speed of the phone when switching between things and trying to use it as a phone
Score: 7/10
