    Just bought this phone a week ago and love it! Can’t see how I have lived without it. It seems to be everything I could have ever wanted. The voice recognition is very good. You can do A LOT with this phone. I came from a pretty old TMobile phone though. So I am spoiled now. Just like my husbands Memoire but a better more sleek design with a less powerful camera, not bulky, great for a female who has small pockets. Fire color is super cool too.

    I’ve been somewhat disappointed in the user interface: Recognition of screen taps is inconsistent, and selecting the ‘green phone’ icon in the call log sometimes dials the number, sometimes opens a window with the call info, and sometimes is ignored even after repeated presses.

    This review raised a complaint about the send key opening the log instead of a dial screen, and I disagree with this assessment strongly. First, there is already an icon on the screen to open a dialer and — just as importantly — there is no other way to directly enter the log from the home page, the place where I make a lot of my calls (calling frequently dialed numbers). Thus, this complaint solved one of my problems!

    Also, a note about lock key: despite what the review says, it’s possible to set the auto-lock off (Menu – Settings – Call Settings – Automatic screen lock), which will solve a lot of problems for navigating phone menus: you can keep the touchpad active until you’re ready to talk. There is, however a problem with the lock key itself, in that it doesn’t protrude enough, and is hard to locate.

    In short, I’ve bought phones that I liked better, and ones that I disliked more.

    This phone has been amazing! I am only 12, almost 13, and this is my first touch screen. in fact, this is my first nice phone! I absolutely LOVE THE COLOR CHOICES, i chose the fire because orange is awesomeness. it easily fits in my hand nicely and has a good feel. it isn’t like the G1, which has more things than i need…this is a simple, easy to use phone with nice photos, good sound.

    Really attractive. Video capturing is so convenient; and you can easily move it to your computer. I recorded my son’s performance and kept watching it over and over. Later, I found that my son is gifted in playing musical instruments. Image capturing is also satisfactory, good enough to put images online photo albums. Not only moving data into computer, a USB connection also makes a full charge of battery possible.

    It seems to me that this product is excellent even though there are lots more fancy and expensive smart phones around with an additional cost.
