This phone is superb. Its so good that a pal o mine who had iphone since it came out has switched and loves it also.

Great screen with hreat qaility amd feel. Its also visible in sunlight.

Fast web and intuitive typing amd layout. Fully (almost) customisable home screen.
Bundles of apps.
I haven't tpuched my laptop in weeks. Baely since I got phone. Need a bluetooth keyboard and hdmi so I can put it through tv. I cam download and stream shows thanks to finding a flash version on a site. 


Its fuckin amazin and I highly recommend it. The battery is immense compared to the desire. I've ran out of juice a couple of times but that will happen. I had to buy extra batteries for the desire(2 of which were left on the table in a club when boozing with sir slag of the beer)
That wont be a problem with this and I'm on it all the time. There is no coincidence with the major fires happening in paisley and surrounding area and my getting this phone


9 out of 10


Its not a 10 necause the "back soft key should have been a real button. It too often skips back when leaning on acreen using s pen and too easy to hit it just moving around the phone

It's pretty cool.

Can't say I'm big on these things.  But texting is so much easier than on the 1100.  Plus being able to check weather forecasts, search for details, check post codes and addresses on Google maps etc is very handy.

I've downloaded a sum total of two aps - flickr (use all the time) and a nice little ap that gives you your position on an OS map, but it takes the map off mobile masts so is of limited use and is slow anyway.

The down side the thing eats it's own battery.

So I figured when I'm out walking I'll keep it switched off, and a lot of the time it can't get a signal anyway when I'm walking, but the darn thing switches itself on in my pocket then starts eating it's own battery.  Which is the other thing, it's not a big phone by current standards, but I wouldn't want anything bigger, these things take up too much space in one's pocket.

But yes by far the most annoying feature is it's ability to switch itself on and eat it's own battery.  Which means it has to go in my back pack, and then I have to remember it's in there when I stop for lunch as you can't find a nice rock to sit, well I'll sit on my pack.
