I bought this phone, owned it for two weeks, and returned it for the Samsung Sway. Here's a quick list of things I didn't like about it:
-Texting is a major hassle on this phone. When you turn the phone on its side, the accelerometer activates and gives you a full QWERTY keyboard, but the clear cover blocks your left hand from effectively entering text. Maybe I'm just lousy at touch screens, but it took me quite some time just to type a short text message. This phone is not for heavy texters.
-The Internet isn't too great either. There's this strange pointer circle that follows your finger around, but when you take your finger away from the screen it moves a little bit. I had a hard time targeting links in web pages.
-As unique and futuristic-looking as this phone is, it's pretty hefty compared to today's phones. It was reminiscent of my old NEXTEL phones. So, to those of you that are all about thin, stay away. It's also hard to hold between your ear and shoulder.
-There is no one-touch speed dial on this phone. You can press and hold down "1" to access your voice mail, but you can't assign any numbers to the other keys. There's also no quick way to access your recent calls either. You have to open the cover, tap the screen to call up the menu, and then tap Calls.
-Finally, the only good things I can say about this phone are that the audio was loud and clear and the display is bright and colorful. I would seriously suggest trying this phone at Verizon Wireless for as long as you can before buying it. All in all, the phone just seems like it would have been cool 2 years ago, but not compared to today's models.
