I thought a touch screen would be nice. Boy was I jipped! Easy dialing my ass! All you get is the ability to punch in a number and filter using that or type in a name using the old style typing (abc = 2, def = 3, etc). That makes the touch screen all but useless! Can’t use the touch screen for anything else that is useful, say like selecting an icon or text menu item (such as a person you want to call)? Ohhh, how about moving the text cursor? Yeah, I know that am asking the world here and it is crazy for anyone to think that would be the case.
Who knew?
Other things I dislike: no data cable or head set (with out which means no radio). Softkeys not reprogrammable. MicroSD card has been crippled too so that you cannot browse your entire card (possibly making it not find my MP3s?).
One thing I do like about this phone, I can return it to Fido for full refund!
