    after the first day of owning ...Nicole Johnson -- 21/01/09

    after the first day of owning this phone the centre navigation button came off, after taking the phone back they kindly replaced it. I have had the replacement for ten days now and suprise suprise the button has fallen out!!! This phone is not worth looking at. I rarely use phones, mainly the quick call to the other half and msg's to mum. So pretty disappointed. Should have stayed with Nokia.

    The good: Looks good

    The bad: see comment

Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Sleek, glossy design
  • Next G capable with Blue Tick
  • Good Web browsing
  • Touch sensitive keys add flare...
The bad:
  • ...but are too easy to press by mistake
  • Low quality display
  • Bad for mobile TV
  • Too expensive for what you get
The bottomline:

Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another Blue Tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.

Editors’ rating:

5.7/10

RRP: AU$559.00
