Nirmal (Wireless Phone) Had this phone for a week now, got it at T-Mobile with new service. Stepping up from a Nokia N-Series there cnriately is a learning curve but I wouldn't go back now. I'll start by going over some device specific stuff as that's what review readers are probably most interested in, then I'll comment on Android 2.2 and a quick bit about my encounter with T-Mobile. The ability of this device as an app apparatus is unusual, strictly as a phone its not so excellent as the Nokia or any other phone I've had. The speaker is terrible, speaker phone functionality is a joke, its underpowered and crackly at its higher volume. The cover is a excellent size, not the portable theater size of some others but I'm pleased with it. There is a quality feeling to it and it is cnriately quite heavy, but I reckon thats a excellent thing. There is an aluminum plate on the back which gives it an manufacturing feel. This is my first qwerty phone so I have no frame of reference but I will say I'm getting quicker at it all the time and like it better than the cover based keyboards as it frees up cover interval for make pleased. The hinge notch style of the keyboard is cool, time will tell if it is more or less durable than a slider. I find the real estate full by the small trackpad on the bottom of the face could have been better spent on a larger cover. As for the 4g capability I don't live in an area with such coverage but looking forward to checking it out and I like having the capability. I don't like the camera/flash as much as my ancient N-82 but it's descent and cnriately processes the pictures much quicker. Battery life is excellent considering the dispensation power of this thing. With habitual use, some browser use, some tinkering and game play, it will last two days. If I glue for myself to the thing all day it needs a payment after one day but thats not terrible. My wife got the Vibrant and it lasts half as long given the same use, to be honest her cover is better but I like this phone much better over all. As for Android 2.2, bit of a learning curve but it gets more intuitive with time. It's quite quick. One downer for me is that it seems like because of the availability of aftermarket apps, some of the core features of the logic are not very figure rich. For instance the messaging app ensures you'll look elsewhere, its as vital as they come. The browser is quick but very bare bones. Those are minor gripes as of course there are a bazillion apps to replace what you don't like. I've also establish that in order to change certain settings I have to look into forums to figure equipment out because Google doesn't have enough in house resources to help you know all the settings. The navigation figure rocks, very intuitive with voice input and voice prompts, I was smiling ear to ear the first time I used it, better than my Garmin in many ways. I'm just scratching the surface with Android and I'm having fun so far. As for T-Mobile, all is okay so far. I've been with Verizon, then AT&T over the years. The pile and call center folks have been very friendly and helpful. The availability of a non-contract plot which is significantly cheaper is fantastic. Service is cnriately cheaper and allowed me to get more phone and more service for my money as we both have boundless internet now. The huge downer here is the cell coverage. I work in the field service sector and I lack coverage in several buildings nearly town that I always had service in before with AT&T. As for data connectivity its even worse, the phone loses its connection surrounded by ten feet inside most buildings. Honestly I can live with it, just a bit disappointed. I'm not sure who to blame but I do get frustrated when I can't delete preloaded apps that I don't want just because the man wants them there for excellent. Hoping the excellent hacker folks out there will find a way to permanently root this thing or some such solution to ease my control freak issues here. I checked out a lot of phones before I selected this one and I would still pick this one in retrospect, I give it four stars really for the significant fail of the speaker, it really is dreadful. Otherwise fantastic phone with fantastic capabilities.
