This phone would've been perfect if only it had a reliable way of using a micro sd card with it. As of writing this review, the choice of micro sd card for this phone is still sketchy. If you won't be needing more memory than what is available on the phone, I say go for this amazing phone. However, if you are thinking about expanding the memory, do your research
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: questionable sd card support.

I purchased this phone over the new years holiday after several months of frustration with my captivates GPS. I loved everything else about that phone. Well I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this phone for a while, all the same great hardware but with an excellent GPS. And a very refreshing user experience. Syncing with Mac was a snap. Although I hope they do release the Zune software for OSX. I am very happy with this phone so far. My only wish is they improve the landscape keyboard and let it stretch the width of the screen. Me and my wife bought these phones when they were buy one get one free which was a great deal.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, great gps, nice ui, easy to use
Cons: needs a better landscape keyboardl

Before purchasing this phone, I compared it to the new phones out there. I really liked the fact it has xbox live with it. The picture on the phone is excellent, the best I have seen. I believe it performs better and has more to offer phones that were double the price. I actually bought my son the same phone and he loves it too.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, offers xbox live, works with microsoft office
I would recommend this to a friend!
