I wish I could put zero stars, this phone is not good. There is not one good thing to say about it apart from the fact that I look forward to the day my contract ends & I can dump this awful phone into the darkest deepest lake where it belongs.

Please please if anyone is considering getting this then don't, it has almost seen the hard side of numerous concrete floors & brick walls on many occasions.

It doesn't deserve the time spent for me going through all the pros & cons because there are no pros what so ever. IT IS ALL JUST BAD, AVOID!

Two plastic cups tied together with string would be better than this.

Superb phone.

Probably the easiest touch screen phone I have ever used. Lots of features, super fast Internet access. If I never had another phone again, I would not be disappointed.

FOR the SHORT TIME I HAD THIS PHONE BEFORE UP GRADING TO ITS BIG BROTHER the HD I FELT IT WAS A GREAT PHONE. The FEATHURES IT HAS ARE SIMILAR TO the ORIGINAL TOUCH BUT the 3G ALLOWS YOU TO ACCESS MORE THINGS. MOREOVER IT HAS AN UPGRADED TOUCHFLOW SYSTEM & BETTER QUALITY FEATURES. Unfortunately the 3G settings hampers the battery life and the phone depends too much on Windows to carry it forward. OTHER THAN THAT IT IS A GOOD PHONE BUT NOT GREAT.
