we've been selling this phone for a while.
It's an absolute pile of crap. The interface is unuseable. For the money, you're better off getting a 5310 or a u600.

Phil's right - T-Mobile has had a handset that looks identical, at an identical price, for a while now.
Odd that it wasn't newsworthy before...

ATE phones seem to have the worst quality of any manufacturer, then again they are very cheap they have to cut the costs somewhere and that shows in the quality of it's components.

It'd be ok for kids..

...this thing looks like fun! Even has a stylus for typing texts on the on screen keyboard. (Here's hoping you can also enter text using the on screen numeric keypad with one hand. That isn't made clear.)

It would suit a lot of people, I think as it's a good "everyday" type set with a decent size screen, but I would say NO DEAL...I'd still rather get a non-touch screen with a bigger screen :)

But it's good.

I DON'T like the UI, though...that looks pretty bad
