If you have never used the Microsoft operating system you are in for a surprise? It does not work well. The phone cannot find the time when it changes time zones, and then when manually changed decides to change all of the calender events. Hard to believe a cell phone can't get the time from the tower? The bundled software? Well, the microsoft word cannot read txt files that can be read by a mac. How do they have the nerve to bundle inferior software? I think they don't know the difference between good and bad. I like to think this not just evil intent. Sprint has made the cube function self serving. You can't change the items on the cube. There is no GPS- although the phone knows where it is, or at least claims it does. Come to think of it, it claims it can sync the time. So, let's say it is a dude. If they want an iPhone killer, I think they will have to pay someone to smash iPhones, since this phone does not make the grade to replace a toy phone that does not work most of the time. Finally, in desperation, I wrote to the President of Sprint. Who sent my message to someone who provide a nice reply that said nothing and did less. So much for the phone and the new look of Sprint.

Incredibly user-unfriendly with frequent lock-ups requiring the removal of the battery to restart. I feel absolutely deceived and defrauded with this purchase. Also, this brand new phone is NOT GPS/NAV capable, so even though I pay for this service, I cannot use it. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

Tuesday, 01 July 2008 Written by: Dustin 0 of 0 people found this review useful User Rating 8.7 Out of 10 I have had this phone for several weeks and am really starting to like it. There are so many things you can do with it and windows mobile that it has taken a while to really figure everything out. I have not experienced any lockups or slowdowns that some have complained about and hopefully never do. Getting used to the touch screen took some time. I downloaded several keyboards until I found one that I can type quickly on. My wife got a flip phone that was pretty good, but after seeing how much better the Touch is, we will be trading hers in and getting a second one. The battery life is not very good, but never is on a pda phone like this. The data connection on the phone is also really fast.

What A Piece Of Tuesday, 01 July 2008 Expand

BUT,,, I've already returned it once cause it just died. Now the second one I have freezes ALL the time, calls do not go through, goes to sleep mode and won't come back on. Powering on and off does nothing, I have to do a master reset 2-3 times a day. I bought Sprite Backup when I got the phone just in case, but this is ridiculous. I have insurance, but why should I have to pay the deductible when it's obvious that the phone is a piece of junk. I gave up with the phone. It's sitting on my bedroom floor. I've been using my old Treo. That phone is indestructible!!!!

Monday, 30 June 2008 Written by: Saul 1 of 1 people found this review useful User Rating 6.2 Out of 10 For the mini mogul in you the htc touch rules. But for those note into flow charts and closing deals this phone is not for you. The battery life is good because the phone has an automatic shutoff feature limited to five minutes when not in use. The draw back is that you miss alot of calls when not plugged in. Also this phone runs like a bad laptop when you have to many applications open it takes forever to go on to your next agenda. The scheduling features and the windows based applications are useful the power broker for his/her spreadsheets. But, for the text messaging media loving sheik that I am it doesn't fit well into my dreamscape. If all you want is fun an functional leave this phone alone unless you have a inner CEO you want to discover.
