It functions fine for me - i can make and recieve phone calls, text messages, emails, can surf the internet, connect to wifi and bluetooth, play music and movies... and thats with the base software. Face it - this phone does more out of the box than any normal laptop, yet you wouldn't complain if a laptop had less functionality than this, straight out of the box. What you are looking for, is something that does everything for you, exactly the way you want it to, and you don't have to put any effort into it at all.
