Good looking, bit unpractical
This is a very nice looking phone, unfortunately it suffers from a number of significant flaws.
The biggest is the touch screen.
Whilst it's an excellent idea it doesn't work very well. I find that every time I touch my finger to the screen to move down a list in a menu rather than letting them scroll it just selects the the first item I touch, making it virtually impossible to scroll through menus.
Secondly the fact that the screen locks when a call comes through, meaning you have to unlock it to answer, it then locks during the call, meaning you have to unlock it again to hang up.
Overall its a very nice looking phone, but it's totally unusable.
