[QUOTE="Poo Pants, post: 537496, member: 41701"] There should be plenty who disagree but what they prefer may not interest you. I guess everyone values things differently. As for the phone functionality, I can't really see how it's not good. You tap in a phone number like with any other cellphone, or tap a contact to call them. It sounds on par with other cellphones I've used. In fact, the interface makes it easy to use other functions of the phone while on a call. The key feature I feel is missing is voice dialing. SMS, on the other hand, does lack a couple of features. I personally only use SMS sparingly (maybe 20-30 messages a month). It's setup more like a chat program. The messages are organized into discussion threads by contact (like iChat), which is nice, but is pretty much kept there. You can't forward a message from one person to another (though I've never had the need to do this). In addition, you can't send a message to multiple contacts at once (which I have done a couple of times in the past). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
