Great Phone, Greater Potential

Apr 1, 2009

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Large Screen, Qwerty Keyboard, Loads of Apps
Cons: Slightly unwieldy, current version of OS lacks features
Opinion:
The Dream is a great phone already, but with OS updates that are due anytime soon, it will become greater still.

One of the major missing features currently is an on-screen keyboard for quick sms, web browsing etc - the physical keyboard is quite handy for longer mails, but the OSK is sorely missed.

The browser is great, though does not support Google Docs (which would have been a great feature in the absence of an Office application)

Battery life is alright .. could be better, but some minor tweaking of settings lets it last up to 2 days of normal use.

The applications market has some great applications already available, and as more handsets with the Android OS come out, we should see a lot more apps come in.

Support for Java is another feature that will be useful, and will open up 1000's of applications to this platform.

Overall .. good stuff :)
