Seriously. Why are manufacturers still making phones with Windows Mobile (6.1) on them? Before anyone starts, I'm speaking from experience. I've owned a couple of Windows Mobile phones. I'll never own another. This phone is clearly extremely good hardware-wise. Why besmirch it with a slow, buggy OS?

I could recommend other OSes, but that would just make this more of a flame. I recognise the whole "Office"/whatever applications/exchange thing, but come on, loads of phones do that now.

Couldn't agree more. The hardware looks great, but it's telling when showing off the browser involves the orangeworld homepage.

To me that suggests that it's browsing is off the pace.

I too have used WM and wouldn't go there again...

Agreed

2 year contracts are lame; I'm still surprised they managed to get away with 18 month contracts - esp. when most of the rubbish phones they have are knackered after 9 months.

Yay!

Can't believe I didn't get flamed. Quite pleased.

Nice specs

Good looking device. Will probably a lot fun to use for the 17 minutes the diminutive 1000mAh battery whimpers out trying to feed all those radios, CPU and the lovely screen.
