This phone is nice in terms of the camera, video and music.

Major disadvantages:
1. No casing replacement
2. It keeps hanging (sending messages would take a minute or two)

I love this phone but it sucks!!!

yes mine got hanged a few times but because of bad software, conflicting apps or opening way too many apps...

not hang for no apparent reason...

and it's way infrequent to bother during the two years period...

you have problem with yours then too bad for you...

no hang problems with mine... over two years now...
if you have problems perhaps you should hard reset your phone, get new/latest firmware, format your memory card...

if you install programs do it one by one... see if there's any that causes the problem...

> In reply to xxxx @ 2009-04-28 15:26 from mcubcertainly untrue that 5500 freezes a lot... perhaps if one were to overload it with opening many apps at once, or got apps that don't work well with the unit.

my experience is like joe, have this phone or two years. despite scratches, dents, and keyboard paint problem, so far the phone works great...

Fantastic phone, completely indestructible, I've had mine 2 years and apart from quite a few dents and scratches, it still works as well as on the day I got it.
