Instead of picking up a phone and feeling happy and fuzzy inside, you pick up this one and feel cold and empty inside like somethings missing.

Yes, the only warm and fuzzy feeling I get from this phone is the Radiation leaking from it into my arm.

Where's the word "Slim" come from? It's NOT SLIM at all.

Ugly, like most other slim phones out there. When the day comes where slim phones can be slim without being horribly over long, then and only then will I like them. But still, looks and design wise this phone has nothing against some of the other slim phones out there.
