It sucks. Here are my reasons.

1. The touchscreen is so bad. Typing messages is a nightmare.
2. The PC Suite is extremely lousy compared to Nokia's.
3. It can only hold about 100 odd messages. After which you have to delete to receive more.
4. It scrolls down long lists really slowly, so if you want to look at old messages, it will take a REALLY long time.
5. There's no way to remove words that you accidentally added into the T9 dictionary.
6. The controls when playing games are really lousy.
7. There's no way to lock the widgets on the screen, such that it is likely to shift them around unintentionally.
8. No earphone jack for normal earphones.

These are the ones I can think of offhand. I'm certain there are more.

more than one year i am happy for its performance and durability. the buttons and d pad gives excellent comfort to fingers. 3.1 mp camera is ever best for brilliant shots (much better than my nokia N86 (8MP)thanks samsung.)overall this is full featured cell, only one thing i miss that is less talktime.

I am using this phone since oct 09. I am completly satisfied. The performance, size, weight are ideal. I dont need qwerst as typing on it with fingers is difficult. t9 is faster. For those who insist, they can have it thru opera mini. The battery is good & U tube plays well, music is good
