This phone has everything you could ask for in terms of features. In practical use however, it does lack in some design areas. First, it is a very large phone, and even someone like me with large hands, it is a bit bulky to operate single-handedly. The power button should be located on the top of the phone, or higher on the side of the phone, i constantly find myself accidentally pressing it because of it's position in the middle of the right side. Also, it could use a "gripier" surface on the back casing. Its so large I hesitate to add a case to it and make it feel larger, but its a slippery bugger without a case. Also, it is about the most expensive of the currently available phones out there.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Too big, poor power button placement
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a great phone and I am defiantly happy with my purchase. This phone takes excellent pictures and has many modes and features that are great for taking pictures in many different situations. I love that this phone is waterproof and my condolences to those who phone was destroyed do to water damage. This phone is large enough to be easily view but small enough to fit into most of my pockets. The heart rate scanner is fun to use and enhances workouts.
