I've had this phone for nearly a year now, and to be honest, overall, it's a great phone. The camera is excellent, (although I wish it would take pictures a little bit faster), it is very easy to use, the QWERTY style keypad when texting is extremely user-friendly, and it is generally a really nice phone.

However, there are a few technical glitches that become exceedingly irritating after a short space of time. My phone freezes fairly regularly (once or twice a week), and it then has to be switched off and back on again. Very aggravating. I have heard though, that if you take it to the phone network whom you've had it from, they can update the system and prevent these issues. I need to go and give it a try really.

Also, the battery life is dire. You are lucky to get 24 hours out of it. If you use the camera/media centre/make phone calls, it will die a hell of a lot faster. A lot of the new phone companies seem to be focusing on improving features, and not improving battery life alongside these improvements. It's simple common sense that a faster, higher spec phone will eat through battery life at a much faster rate. I definitely think that companies should start trying to improve battery life, as it is my biggest bugbear with this phone.

            I have this phone since February
            Battery lasts for 24 hours only
            If you have a call waiting don’t answer it because the phone will crash down and you have to remove battery to reboot it
            The most important thins is
            Software is not online upgradable
            I will try the new I phone

                                  Don, 26 Jun 2010hi, i would like to know is that true bout the battery life... moreyes, it doesnt have a ood battery life. But there are ways to save your batt life.
                                  Most smartphones with these specs usually dont have good batts.
                                  either u get a sun global batt or bring ur charger so u can plug it in whenever needed.
