Pros:
It is running Google Android (2.3)
It has a FM transmitter and receiver.
The slide mechanism is very robust.
Fits neatly and snugly into one hand.
Cons:
It’s a bit nerdy to have a phone, probably best to have a smartphone and a PSP.
There is no HD video recording.
The casing doesn’t seem to be the best quality, a bit squeaky and creaky.
The display is quite dim; could do with being brighter.
A bit large and chunky as a everyday phone.
