					<description>That was exactly my feelings when I read it, it would help if I had seen one, so I could compare my feelings against his review.</description>

					<description>I've got one of these phones and I'm pretty pleased with it. It's not perfect, but most 1.0 tech releases aren't (anyone want to go back to DOS 1.0?  Windows 3.0 (not 3.1)?

I've never seen someone try so hard to hate a product...case in point - *everyone* who sees my phone says it looks like an iPod (which it sorta does - guess Apple has a Fisher Price toy design mentality, too).  While some of the useful functions are buried pretty deep in the UI, there is a programmable 'favorites button' that allows you to access your twelve most often used functions with a single key press.  I wouldn't really expect a sw engineer to be able to find that key , though - it's labeled favorites on the main screen, and he even posted a picture of it on his rant...*sigh*.

I could go on, but this review only proves when someone makes up their mind to hate something, logic flies out the window.</description>

					<description>Or... they know they have a horrible phone... they need to get them out to the consumers. So they are hoping if they send enough(hundreds) phones out to bloggers/reviewers, ONE will actually like it. Then maybe... MAYBE they get a few bites and saves them from totally screwing the pooch.</description>
