Overall this phone is really great. The touch screen interface with haptic feedback (small pulses in the phone to let you know you hit the button) is something that the iPhone sorely lacks but the instinct pulls off beautifully. The user interface is extremely friendly and customizable. For instance, you can add your own favorite applications or bookmarks to a favorites menu for easy access. The phone has everything you could ask for including bluetooth, 2MP camera, The internet (no not that crappy WAP version --the actual internet), email sync, turn by turn voice prompted GPS, not to mention it comes with a 2GB SD card and an extra battery and charging case. The battery life is good i can go all day texting, and surfing the internet before it needs a recharge. Speaking of texting some may be hesistant about a touch qwerty keyboard but I hardly ever make mistakes inputing text messages so no need to fret there if that's a concern. The only complaints I have about the phone is that there is no accelrometer (the screen does not flip if you tilt the phone) and that sometimes the back button is unresponsive and takes a few taps to register. Other than that I have no complaints. A brillantly done affordable phone that gives the iPhone some solid competiton. The only reason you would have to get the iPhone instead is if you want to take 16gb of music and video with you on your phone. I'd like to think that one would not get much use out of all that media because the battery life you would get from accessing that media all the time would be very short. For 129$ with an unlimted Data package it's a must buy for those looking for a do everything phone. Overall grade 9.6/10

I hate AT&T, but my Apple fan-boy streak won out and I got an iPhone. Thanks for the great review.
