"An ok cell phone, but suggest waiting for next version"
Pros: Great Sleek look, good features, keyboard is useable
Cons: data is too slow to use, battery life is not up to par, not enough space
Summary: for 600 bucks this phone is probably not what it really should be. There are many flaws in the phone, like not being to use a flash player which apple said will come out in there next release of the ipod. You can watch youtube, but no other flash sites??? i find that weird but w/e. The battery life is pretty bad, 5 hours i would say and then dies. Considering you will either be watching a movie, or playing music, it will get even worse. The data speed is utterly horrible. You need 3g (which is comparible to verison EV-DO) and then the data speeds would be very much enjoyable, apple has also said they might add this in the next phone. Options like voice dialing and a descent internet are not there, accept when using wifi. The only problem is your battery will drain so unbelievably fast when using wifi. The phone on a good side is a very good feeling, solid and sleek phone. The apps are great (accept there is no gps and you have to use google maps), it is really a very "smart" phone. The keyboard works better than expected, and this is defiantly a new ground point for cell phones in the future. I rated it a 5, but im sure the next version, probably around the holidays, will have all these basic missing features and hopefully a longer battery life. In any event, wait until December, then get i phone V2.!!!!
Also this is coming from a neutral point of view, i have a mac and a pc at home, so i support apple, and support Microsoft, this is an unbias review.
