So far, I agree with all the Q reviews around it being different but in some ways better, some ways not to my BB (7250). The one possible show stopper for me so far is that when in a call, pressing the escape key does not end the call. Worse, it leaves the call connected and takes you to the home screen where your minutes continue to tick down until you remember its not your BB. To end a call, you have to either bring your thumb down off the scroll wheel (natural position holding the phone) and wrap it to the front and press the red button (akward) OR use two hands (gasp). Did the engineers even TRY a Blackberry - this is worse than even the cut and paste issue.
I'm guessing I can edit the home screen using some third party app or find a theme with a home page set-up that is icon based so I can get to all the features using the scroll wheel - like a BB.
Haven't had the crashing issues but I've also stayed away from the media player features (figured if it causes problems, I've lived without it this long...) Batter life certainly seems to be an issue but given the quality of the screen, its not a suprise to me. The backlight comes on just about always when using the phone. If my BB did that, I'm sure the battery would be gone too. I'll find some way to improve that in "options" somewhere...
So far - I feel like I cheeted on my long time girlfriend with Jessica Simpson
and now we are living together
. Oh, and she laughs like Fran Dresher
