Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great business phone Comment: Ok if you want this as a personal phone and get around 2 emails a week it really is not much use as it does not have all the special features that you would find on a Nokia N95 say. I wonder why you would buy it if you dont intend to use its business attributes?? As a business phone it is superb, its sleek, attractive easy to use and really does compliments my work as I am constantly on the move. So all in all its a great phone!! Customer Rating: Summary: I think you are all clowns Comment: I can't belive people are rubbishing this phone, some people who can't adapt to new technology should just accept it and not blame the product for thier lack of intelligence great phone fast internet sleek cheap what more could you want Customer Rating: Summary: Can't live without it Comment: Whilst I agree with some of the comments made in the other reviews eg it does crash the odd time but switch if off and on again and it is fine, qwerty keyboard suretype takes a while to get used to, folder playing of music means you have to set your folders up to play what you want, camera is not fantastic at night. However, it has a music player, decent camera in good light and amazing access to all your outlook features which synchronise automatically during the day. I use it as my sole MP3 player and also to run my outlook calendar, notes and e-mail. I really don't know what I would do without it (and won't be selling it on Amazon or elsewhere!) Customer Rating: Summary: Complete rubbish as a normal day to day mobile phone. Comment: Got one of these a a few months ago to replace my LG. What a waste. All the problems listed below are based on using it as a standard mobile phone and not the blackberry features it has. Poor sound quality, speaker phone distorts, cannot vibrate and ring the same time, battery cover keeps sliding off, crashes once a month, no automatic key lock, takes ages to startup, screen back light goes into standby when on a long call, qwerty keys to small to type anything properly, camera quality low, glossy plastic scratches easily, getting use to the numberic keys takes time, text on keys too small, unable to sync anymore etc.. Also trying to use the internet on O2, you must have a blackberry addon which costs £10 per month on a 12 month contract. Without this you will not be able to send any service books to the mobile (update settings). They only good feature is the trackball and voice commands. Dam, just killed any chances of me getting rid of this phone on Amazon!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Great if you have fingers like a child Comment: Had it for about 4 months now and it drives me insane. Absolutely useless for typing if you have normal size hands. Built quality is not great, the back cover keeps falling off. Music play is awkward as it will allow folder playing only. More Reviews
