+ Camera and Video Quality is Great, Built In GPS is very useful, Wifi, being able to install new applications to the phone.

- battery life was bad with the original firmware and after upgrading to the latest firmware it has improved but still pretty poor due to the 900mah battery. The refurbished phone came with only a 512MB memory card.

Score 8.0/10

+ Good looking and I love the wide ranging functions of the handset. Nice screen and sound quality is decent on earphones. Large memory. Good camera considering this is primarily a phone.

- Navigating menus could be better - it's not clear what is in each folder before opening it.
Sometimes signal is poor but maybe that's a network carrier issue.
