Value for Money - Loving it

Apr 1, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: A Power-pack device, full connectivity, GPS, expandable memory (with my 8GB microSD), trackball (getting use to it, nice feature), slide cover for charging point
Cons: can be even slimmer, color of the phone is too conservative
Opinion:
Great phone after been using it for a week. Full suite of connectivity solutions to meet my needs, now able to connect to WiFi when at home. Pictures taken are pretty sharp, not sure if I can get a Biz card reader apps for it. Save a lot of money with the Navigation kits provided (navigation s/w with 2 country maps, car holder to mount to my windscreen and car charger); a note in the package stated GPS+ (anyway tried with it) and it really helps to get quick GPS fix. Not been using the Malaysia maps, no complaint since this is a bonus! Last 2 models which I have been are Samsung phones, anyway is slowly getting use to the new interface. Got a comment from my friend that the features & functions are like a Nok device??
