great all-rounder

(5 out of 5) by GWT on Oct 26, 2006 (London)
This is an awesome phone. great MP3 facilities, with loads of storage space for albums on miniSD cards, lovely big screen for viewing web pages and pics, not to mention the excellent slideout keyboard - once you start using this for text and emails (did I mention free blackberry-style pushemail regardless of network via the mail2web service), you'll wonder how you ever managed without it!

It's good...

(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Feb 20, 2006
Like the reviewer below, I've waited impatiently for the right convergence device, and have always been disappointed... until now. This does pretty much all I want - small, powerful, flexible, software works well, WiFi good, many neat features, travels well with no extras needed. Battery life could be better but it's OK, much better than the P910i at any rate (as in many respects!). I'm really pleased with it and happily recommend it.

Great device

(5 out of 5) by Mike on Mar 30, 2006 (London United Kingdom)
I love this phone. It has everything I want from a convergence device - and it will go in your pocket. It syncs properly on bluetooth - no need for a cradle. It has full PDA functionality, and the keyboard is ace (I love the way the screem flips automatically to landscape when you pull it out). I use it for e-mail, diary, texts, notes and documents, lists, budgets, dictionaries, maps, games, avant-go internet / general browsing, photos, videoing, mp3 (its not going to beat a dedicated player mind), and films. Oh, and phone calls...

Internet access is great on wi-fi, and suprisingly impressive on GPRS.

Mine seemed to come with 128mb memory, rather than 64, but its worth getting a 1gb card for films and music.

I agree the alarm is slightly rubbish - but put it on vibrate and it should do the trick.

Updating windows mobile (various sites, depending on your phone operator) should sort out the crashes (a 2nd update is due any day now as well).

So many problems!

(1 out of 5) by Ms. A. Hull on May 25, 2006 (London)
I bought this item as a replacement for my Palm Treo 650 and it doesn't come close. It crashes and freezes nearly every time I go to use it, the memory is really small, syncing takes forever or doesn't work at all. You can see the folder list for your emails (looked impressive in the shop) but when you actually try to sync it nothing appears - apparently your folder emails do not sync but I was not told this. Get a Treo instead with 'Explorer' software from Handango and save yourself a very big headache!!

Very disappointed

(1 out of 5) by Richard Wayne Parslow on Mar 30, 2006
Bought one 3 months ago as a replacement for my P910i - I should not have done it!

Crashes 3-4 times per day, getting flimsy after only 3 months use, stylus won't hold in stylus slot anymore, battery won't last more than about 5 hours if you're running bluetooth even if you don't make any calls. I bought a second battery but you can't by a cradle that will charge both the phone and the second battery simultaneously.

This product was let out of the factory with inadequate AQ. Don't buy one.
