This third-generation, high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go.

1.0 out of 5 stars hands-down the worst phone I've ever used, April 22, 2009
(1) Tiny screen... which I could live with if it weren't for the other flaws.
(2) Tiny keys that makes it extremely difficult to navigate through the deeply nested and confusing menus.
(3) The phone frequently drops calls or else hangs up on people when I'm trying to answer a call.
(4) The phone fails to notify me of text or voice messages received.
(5) The battery should really last longer than 12 hours if I'm only getting/making 2-3 calls per day.
