Samir , London

+ Samsung has done a good job with trying to make the menus clear, and the software i.e microsoft office mobile are great features.
The screen is amazing, picture quality couldn't be better, the backlight creates sharp, clear images, and even if windows 6.5 only has 65k colours, the sharpness is flawless. This amoled technology would be amazing with a google android operating system.

- It's a Windows 6.5 phone!
The responsiveness is sluggish, the software is brilliant but being able to use it would be nice.
When sending a text message it can sometimes take about 20 seconds for the phone to realise its in landscape mode for the larger onscreen keyboard. Things like this make it very irritating to use.
