Re: Hey everyone

I'd give it 3 of 5 stars for what I need--about 75% business, 25% other. It works really well with my work PC's Outlook and our exchange server, as you would expect. Once I installed the home screen customizer, I customized it in an acceptable way for my use. The kinetic scrolling and the touchscreen makes getting through emails much easier, it's the best alternative I've seen to a scrollwheel. I use mine one-handed, like some of the other folks here.

Skyfire and/or Opera are decent browsers, but I don't spend much time browsing on this device and neither will you with a screen this small. An alternative music player program makes it a decent way to carry and listen to my tunes. The keyboard is decent. Battery life is champs, and as others said, it's thin enough to pocket. I can tell you the international aspect works fine--I notified Sprint I was heading to France for the New Year, and it activated on the Orange network with no problems at all. Better than my father-in-law's Verizon Blackberry did, that's for sure. And the wifi kept me from having to use international data.
