Just got this today on contract and must say i am very impressed, still a few software bugs to iron out but it does seem fairly fast, nice and easy to navigate and is bundled with tons of nice features.
landscape screen is a little tempermental as if you so much as turn it a little too far around it will move back to normal instead of widescreen which gets a little annoying. The wi-fi option is GREAT however.. i can browse the net using my fiber optic broadband at home and videos load fast.
Overall: very impressed.

Hey Guys,
Its a good phone, it has all the basic multimedia options. as per my observation on past a month only the sound is low. cost of the phone is bit higher for the same.
What is Your Opinion?
