 a few good things, a couple not so good May 19, 2008

This is a nice phone. Nice looking, nice functioning, and nicely priced. The sound is great during calls and while using it as a MP3 player. The bluetooth file transfer between my laptop and phone seems pretty speedy. Having video recording capability is nice for someone who only had a 640x480 still camera on my last phone. I have yet to try out the stated 4Gb SD card to see if it works (I could only find SDHC 4Gb cards so I'll soon find out if the phone is SDHC compatible). I'll update the review when I receive the card. [update: the phone is compatible with the 4Gb SDHC card.]
The things that bother me are the PTT button as the other reviewer mentioned and the lack of voice dialing on the phone. Yes, AT&T does offer voice dialing on this phone, but it is only through their network so you have to pay extra for it. I HATE it when corporations make you pay extra for something that should be installed on the phone. I assumed that in this day and age, voice dialing would be standard on all phones. Never should I assume anything with electronics and corporations.
The PTT button as the other reviewer mentioned is a definite hassle. My last phone I always opened one handed by cradling it with my fingers while prying the lid open with my thumb. This phone I can cradle, but as soon as I put any pressure on the left side, I immediately push the PTT button, thus negating the advantage of opening it one handed. Either I will have to immobilize the button by dribbling some superglue around the seam of the button, or sand down the button with my dremel to make it concave. What a PITA!
As a visual design, the flush camera lens on the face is beautiful. Functionally, it either should have been recessed or a raised ridge put around it to minimize scuffing of the lens. One of the industrial designers dropped the ball on this one.
I like the phone, don't get me wrong. I'm still within the trial period so I could bring it back if it was really a POJ. I think I'll keep it though as it is a vast improvement over my last phone. That, and I've already begun the task of entering all my contacts...

This phone has a button which cannot be permanently disable right where you put your thumb or index finger when you're holding the phone. The button activates PTT which you must pay for. A menu appears and asks if you want to initialize service every time you hit the button, which it is hard not to do while holding the phone.
The charger has to be inserted behind a tiny plastic flap that looks like it will break off after a week of use. Also it's very hard to open the flap if you don't have small fingers and a long nail to insert under the flap (which most men don't). The charger head barely fits into the slot behind the flap. Aesthetically the phone has a nice minimalist design, but these bad features are extremely annoying. I've had it for only one day and I already want to return it.

I'm new to ATT, I was a Verizon customer until about two days ago. I used to have the LG8600, and it suited all of my needs. The battery was excellent, reception was decent and it was durable. I had the Motorola v9m through Verizon for about a month, which is an EXCELLENT phone if not for the terrible battery life (and while the weight of it was fine, it just seemed too large of a phone). I got this phone at the recommendation of the ATT representative who said the reception, battery life, and durability are rated well. So far I love the phone, and have no complaints except that I wish the exterior display wasn't all black (blends with the phone) and was just a teeny bit bigger.
So far, so good... November 21, 2007

I have had this phone for a couple of weeks and I like it so far. The interface is a little different from what I am used to, but I like the phone. Calls are clear and most do not know I am using a cell phone. Speaker phone is easy to use and sounds good. Great camera, and good screen. Smudges easily but no big deal.
