i'm not a geek at all, i love gadgets and my old contract was up for renewal i have been following this handset with interest, i recieved it on saturday and i love it. it does all i need it to 5 do, it can do so much and i doubt i'm even using 50 percent of what the phone is capable of. my initial fears of the phone have proven unfounded, i was really worried about the keyboard cause i have huge hands, but the keyboard is a joy to use, and with regard to the top row of keys being to close to the screen when you slide it up, i can't say i've noticed it. and believe me, my hands are big. screen is also very good. overall i'm massively pleased. i have no problems with the phone and the battery life is ok, as i've said i'm not a geek and this phone for me is a multimedia device, so don't be scared by the early adopter tag, pick it up and have a go. you wont be dissapointed
