Price: $300 (with discounts)
Grade: B+
Messaging and Web: Can't access e-mail from the outer touchscreen or the program menu. The Web browser runs only in landscape mode, but pages are fully viewable and offer finger scrolling. Music and Video: Offers VCast Mobile TV - broadcast - with a $15 video plan, which boasts a good picture and even a tiny channel guide. You can download music from VCast directly to the phone for $1.99 a song - and a copy is sent to your PC.
Ease of Use: The QWERTY keyboard is a little wide, but it's a nice option if you tire of touchscreen typing, and there are separate number keys, which is a perk.
Keyboard? Yes (clamshell)
Stylus? No
Bottom Line: A great phone with some fancy features, but the e-mail feels like an afterthought.
