Joe, Retford Business or web user

Score 9.0/10
Good points:
Amazing phone... Upgraded from the Desire Bravo, so an obvious improvement on that. For those who aren't that fussed about an iPhone but wouldn't mind a few apps, a sharp display and a half decent camera... This is the phone to choose!
Bad points:
Had the phone about 4 weeks now, and not a peep of a problem
