This one rocks
This phone replaced my i-730 and what a great change. Small and portable yet powerful. I have had the phone over a month and have a few minor gripes. Forget the speakerphone, except to listen to messages, it is not very good.

Make sure to buy the extended battery. These smartphones burn thru battery time pretty quick.

I thought the phone would be more dainty but I have dropped it many times and it still keeps on going.

The email functionality is great for viewing emails and browsing is fast. The word simple type works very well and is much easier to add new words to than my old phone.

Unlike what another person said, you can change the ringer settings by pussing one button (right side quick options) and then selecting the profile you want, or change the profile with the right softkey.

I wish the outside showed pictures other than the included basic 5 and I hope that there is a firmware update to mobile 6 but overall this phone rocks and is very good as a smartphone. Very easy to use as a cellphone if you learn a bit how to use it.

Don't waste your money.
This maybe the worst phone I've ever bought. The menu's make no sense. To change the ringer volume you have to go to two seperate places. What should take you one or two keystrokes takes you 4 to 5 on this phone. But the battery is even worse. The mini one that comes with the phone lasts about 24-36 hours making as few as 3 or 4 short (5 mins or less) calls. So I went out and bought the extended battery which lasts just a wee bit longer.
