Dec 4, 2007

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Great Speed, easy to use keyboard, responsive potrait & landscape orientation, Good inhouse O2 program
Cons: Buttons ARE NOT RESPONDING!!! plus plus plus.... ->
Opinion:
This phone is a nightmare. I thought its mine that is having this problem until I met several friends who shared the same experience as me. Read this->

The buttons esp the CRUCIAL ones, like the green call (or send) button, red button, etc are NOT responding!!!

I thought initially it is due to a hardware problem and hence I tested it by doing a hard reset. Then for a week or two, it worked perfectly fine. Then the problem came back and persisted again. Then I thought it maybe due to conflicting software that I may have and I again did another hard reset and this time tested the phone with no third party software, then the same sh*t happens yet again.

Imagine this, you press the green button to make a phone call and it doesn't work! And you have to press it for a few times and then it works. Its not that I am impatient that I did not wait long enough. I push the button once, and waited for at least 5 secs. Then I press the second time, only this time it did perform what it should perform. The touch screen however is flawless. So it appears that the hardware and the software are conflicting with each other by itself. What a idiotic phone. Also, it is really frustating when someone calls you and you are not able to receive the call due to this problem. Obviously O2 did not have even the basic for a phone.

And I thought that I am the only user suffering from this. Not until I heard it from my uncle who bought the same phone and another friend of mine. That gives me enough reason to swop to a HTC Tytn II (which solve ALL my problems).

Avoid this phone/plague. See the amount of pre-owned sets increasing in the secondary market? This should warn you enough. Worst phone ever handled.
