Design Features UsabilityTouch screen is not over sensitive and doesn't interfere with calls
Fanstastic phone, has all the features you need and you can store favourites onto 4 different home screens. Touch screen is not over sensitive and doesn't interfere with calls. Has qwerty option for messaging and camera does what you need it to do. It's a bit longer that the older candy bar phones, being a touch screen you need to get a case for it too, but these can be bought inexpensively. Overall a great phone that has all that you can possibly be looking for!

Usabilityconnection with outlook calendar is not perfect
The BL40 is an excellent phone, but the connection with outlook calendar is not perfect, and is not possible to include texts longer than few words in the calendar pages.
Furthermore I wasnt able to import Excel or Word files in the phone. Another problem is that the qwerty is working only to write mails or sms, but not to search names in the contacts, or other easy functions.

Usabilitylooks lovely and may work fine if you never try and synch it your computer
I've had 2 of these phones and all I wanted to do, was sync it to my outlook calendar which it claims it can do. Its been a nightmare everytime I try and open an application it tells me I have too many open when that's the first one.
At one point the only thing I could do on the phone was call someone (if I knew the no. as it wouldn't let me access the contacts). I took the battery out to reset it which worked for a few hours until I thought I'd try and sync it again at which point it shut itself down and had searching for db. When it came back on all my information and contacts were gone, so I tried synching it again, as all my contacts are in outlook, this time it wiped the information from outlook which I had to get my IT dept to restore.
I haven't bothered setting up my phone again, whats the point, at this moment in time I can text and call but can't use the camera as its not saving anything.
So it looks lovely and may work fine if you never try and synch it your computer, but if you do beware. BTW I'm not some techy novice I teach people how to use technology for teaching and learning.

Mobile phones are constantly being updated in a constantly evolving industry with huge demands. Where camera phones go up by the megapixel on a monthly basis and the next big feature just around the corner, it certainly can be confusing finding the right mobile phone.
Most handsets now could be classed as 'smart phones' based on where mobile phones were a few years ago with the current crop of buzz words - 3G, HSPDA, megapixel, social networking, apps, A-GPS and more. Thats why reading impartial user reviews is the best way of deciding what phone to buy next!
