Pros: Works in USA. T-Mobile. Fooled everyone into thinking I have Iphone. Worked great out of box. No problems encountered. Great support system via many fourms on web and DX's review and forum. Good screen size. Good volume. Good feel. Nice touch screen. Love "Slide to Unlock". Beautiful! Love the short-cuts. Better than Iphone without Iphone price or contract.

Cons: Takes time to learn screen access. Unable to find USB connection to fit other charger/headphones. Not easy to find accessories. Unable to download any business applications. Still figuring out bluetooth connection, may need to get new bluetooth. Never used stylus before, so takes time to learn. Only 1 game and cannot download others as no java on phone.

Other Thoughts: The phone worked fine from day one. Put T-mobile sim into phone after charging. Phone recognized sim automatically. Manually checked settings, all is fine. Phone works great. Camera/Video works great. Play back of music is great. Video picture quality is not so great on 3GP. Someone can make money developing programs for this phone. Lots of places on web to download free music, video, or text stories to use during travel. Very easy to use as my 4 year old has figured out how to play music and video on phone. Do not have internet package so unable to test. IM & SMS works fine. Great instructions on web for set-up for T-mobile.

Bottomline: GET THIS PHONE ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!! DX provided fast and reliable service to USA. No problems at all encountered in purchasing or shipping process. Will use them again to purchase other products and have recommended phone and DX to friends. For $158.00 this is the best phone around.

Pros: Many features, looks stylish, very configurable, screen is sharp, external speakers, comes with two batteries, can recharge via USB and power efficient.

I use a US Tmobile Prepaid and was able to connect immediately with excelent reception in a room where I usually don't get good reception.

Navigation is easy and options are easily accessed.

I successfully configured TZONES over WAP, haven't tried surfing the net.

Supports animated wallpaper and boot screens (max size of 150K).

Ringtones can be MP3, WAV or MIDI (But there is a max size of 75K)

Can use either the touch screen or buttons to navigate. I personally enjoy the touch screen as I despise celphone navigation buttons and key input!

Large number of followers out there with atleast 3 websites dedicated to it.

Cons: -No other applications available.
-Does not support Java.
-The Micro SD that came with it didn't work at first, turned out there was a sticker on one of it's connectors.
-I was only able to play movies converted to 3GP format (320x240), which has a very grainy quality.
-Don't expect any more features then you'd find in any WAP capable Nokia or MOTO. It's just an oversized cel phone with a large touch screen.
-As with most phones, a proprietary headset plug.
-only one puzzle game!

Other Thoughts: Definitely NOT an IPHONE, but if you're expecting one, with all the features, and have $$ to spare then go ahead and buy one for $300+$50/mo for two years!

Bottomline: Overall its well worth what you pay for. If I had to buy another celphone in this price range and phone category, this would be the one.

Pros: Touch Screen is right on the mark.
GPRS, MMS
USB rechargeable
Bluetooth (file transfer ect.)
Image Gallery, Movie player, Music player.
user Profile (set wallpaper, theme(3 to chose from), Start up wallpaper, Shutdown wallpaper, MP3 ringtones)
Long battery life on standby.
GPRS Internet available
Voice recorder (can also record phone calls)
Video recorder
If you are into making MIDIs this thing has a huge Melody Composer.

Cons: Vidoes only play well at 176x144 because 320x240 loses sync with sound and video.

Phone only holds 170sms have to save some to Simcard.

Cannot install applications.

There is a home key under the OK button, also the mps player button is close to the back button which can be rather annoying when you're rushing.

Camera only does 640x480 or lower (Not great pictures when out of light)

Headphones are mono sound and are not a standard 3.5mm jack

Other Thoughts: I hope they make a better version to fix all the minor problems or enhance the current features. Maybe a 3G connection in the future.

Bottomline: Great for everyday use.
