This is without doubt the worst phone I have ever had to use.

Not only is it a brick but it does not even perform the basic function of a phone decently. The touch screen key board is rubbish, while when I dial in 1 on the screen it invariably dials a 7. I could understand if it went for a 4 or 2 as they are adjacent to the number 1 but 7?! Even my fingers are not that fat.

Add to that the battery dies with a little over an hour's use! Avoid it!

I agree with you Candy Man, but I feel that it was the worst phone I've ever had. I must say that even my previous XDA Exec (as much a brick as it was) was a better PDA & phone.

Also, you must pay a separate amount for the GPS, its not like O2 even give you a basic GPS program. Also O2 stated on their site that the PDA had a flash on the camera, its not actually got one at all.

Terrible PDA & Phone 4 out of 10.

Stellar is a good phone if you use just to make calls but if you want to use with Skype or MSN or any other program running while you on call, you'll have three problems.

- the phone slows down.
- the battery will last no more than 4 hours.
- the Windows Mobile Operating System will be crashing constantly.
