Bcb, Walsall

+ Internet access, 24hr battery life, coverflow.

- Unreliable, slow, prone to freezing, takes an age to do turn on, can't be operated with 1 hand, requires a lot of effort to do simple things like change volume, had features removed that were present in the iPhone and only removed from this for product differentiation (like the email, calender, Google maps etc), the keyboard is to small and fiddly to be useful, the mirrored back that scratches easily unlike the matte aluminium back of an iphone or the 2G nano,fingerprint magnet, bundled headphones are still useless, the 16GB version is overpriced. All in all a disappointment, I returned mine due to it being faulty and I wont be buying another.

- The thing seems very delicate and i wouldnt like to drop this thing. The only limitation i find is that there is not enough memory. I know people will say that 16GB is more than enough, but if ur a movie buff like me and like to upload clips, movies and videos, then this item is very easy to fill up.

- I don't have a home computer! Too much faffing about to try and get music on it. I thought it'd be like buying a mobile phone..didn't realise that I'd have to download some sort of package before I could start putting music on it. Also I thought it had a radio in it...turns out you have to download that too. Still only managed to download 10 songs...takes ages. I thought I could put all my CD's on to it...will have to wait until I get a home pc to try to figure out how to do that...ahhh technology wonderful isn't it!!
