Detailed review
I got this as an entry to the smartphone world, and couldn't be happier. I got a smartphone with good looks, a nicely skinned OS, and I was different than everyone because I didn't have a Blackberry Pearl.
I was in love with the device except for some details: the OS, no matter how well skinned was still WinMo; the keypad was not very tactile; the hardware was a touch underpowered; etc.
I guess the best way to describe my experience with the device is that it did email, texting, phone, and a handful of pre-iPhone style apps. It was a great entry into a market that now I can't live without.
If You need a phone right away and can still find one on ebay or unlocked somewhere, it is cheap and easy to use. Get it.
