  • Ease of use No comments so-so
  • Design and form factor No comments great!
  • Portability (size / weight) No comments so-so

  • Durability I like the gorilla glass great!

Detailed review
Overall a decent device. That said, the Android OS feels half-backed - the back button has it's own mind and changes what it does; txt messages don't get sent out sometimes; apps running in the background can drain the battery. It's not all bad though - I like that you can customize the interface (widgets, live backgrounds (not in use due to weak battery)). Also, I'm very happy how the contacts sync with google - you can work on them on the computer.
Not sure if I would recommend it to others...but I wouldn't discourage the purchase of it either.
