I'm satisfied

My first experience with this type of phone, I've had compact flip phones in the past. It was somewhat confusing at first, but the clerk at the store was very helpful at set up and when I went back with questions. I'm still learning it's features but pleased with it's performance.
I've had this phone a little over a year now, and I was loving it until recently. Originally, it came with Froyo V 2.1, and things were great. Now, I've updated to Froyo 2.2, and my battery life has decreased by a SOLID 50%. Before, I could unplug the phone around 5pm, use it heavy on texting (several hundred a night), and even use the internet or WiFi hotspot and still have enough battery to last until 7am. Now, I unplug the phone at 8:30, have mild to moderate use (less than 50 text messages, no internet or phone calls), and it's down to 30% battery by 11:30. I've noticed no great improvements from 2.1 to 2.2. In fact, it seems to be a downgrade! The screen will get dead spots to the touch (a letter will not take when pressed), and I'll have to lock and unlock it to get that spot to work. It seems to run physically hotter. The latter two are tolerable defects to the software, but the battery life is absurd. This is no longer a MOBILE phone, since it must be charged several times a day just to keep it going. If I could roll back to 2.1, I would. Hopefully 2.3 comes out before I get rid of this useless piece of machinery.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, battery hog
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had the phone for about 2 weeks. I am still finding new things to do! I don't know how I lived without a Smartphone for this long!
I have no complaints about the phone. It's very sleek & stylish. It has an amazing screen that's so bright! It's much more lightwieght compared to my friends phones. I do have to charge it once a day but that is normal with all the apps running and listening to the radio, etc. I'm amazed at the apps you can download. I have had to remove the battery once b/c it locked up when I was doing something. Other than that, powering it off only 2 times prior to that when it locked up did the trick.
The phone does everything as advertised, easy functions, great service, for music, video, text, sound, connections. looking forward to the upgrade for the next android

This phone gives me the android platform with the screen and looks of the iPhone. It is fast, clean, and is easy to use. It has the clear amoled screen that is easy on the eyes. It works flawlessly and never has to be restarted due to freeze up. I have used many smartphones and this one is the best by far in my opinion.
