Bluetooth

Does not sync well with voice recognition Bluetooth devices. Text messaging not available with car Bluetooth synchronization. Also not sensitive to my fingers -- I have to repeatedly hit answer to accept a call.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable
Cons: Did not meet expectations, touch screen not responsive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Light and Powerful

I have been putting this phone through a pretty good test for the past 2 weeks. At first I was dealing with battery issues the first couple of days but I started in on all the connection settings in the phone. Once I turned them all off or to manual then my battery would last all day with fairly heavy use. And when I mean all day my days are 14 - 18 hours long.
Love the slim design and how light it is. Only thing that gets me once in a while is when I am in an app and I hit one of the 3 sense buttons at the bottom of the phone. I am learning to hold my phone just a bit different but none the less sort of a pain.
For those of you having battery issues. Turn off your WiFi and bluetooth when not in use and go into any thing that access's the net or cloud and set it to manual or off. Your batter will last.
Great phone.... recommend it.

Needs Ringtone
on April 24, 2011
Posted by: Lalaphone1
The only thing about this phone I do not like is that you can not use a custome ringtone. You are limited to the ones in the phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, can't use customer ringtones
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been looking into the Windows Phone 7 platform for a while now. I think they have a great thing going so far with this phone. One thing that could be better is some of the apps don't work perfectly, and the upcoming software update will be eagerly awaited.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Only downside, so far, is having to use Zune to transfer audio, video, etc. Otherwise, I really love the phone.
Love the camera.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
