Full review
This is my first QWERTY keyboard cellphone. That feature is pretty much going to be a make-or-break for me from now on, I love the convenience of just flipping the phone to the side and sliding it open with my thumb to type. Very easy, very effective.

Unfortunately beyond the QWERTY I'm not overly impressed by this phone. It has IMing built in which seems awesome, but never works properly. It has the "Celltop" feature, which I never use and takes ages to refresh anyway.

You cannot download ringtones or backgrounds for it like you can most other phones - even if you get them via bluetooth. You have to buy a special cable and hook that up to the phone and computer. That awesome "music anywhere" function in touts never works - and you have to pay an additional $45 for the SD card that makes any of that possible anyway. I tried numerous times and just couldn't figure out how on earth to get the music to go to the phone -- and I'm extremely computer literate. The phone also lags quite a lot, which gets annoying when you're trying to send a message in a hurry. Additionally, the camera is absolute nonsense, so if you're seeking good picture and video capabilities this is absolutely not the phone for you.
