extremely sturdy build, but also quite compact. good battery life (for a smart phone). very solid feature set includes ability to view and edit Word & Excel documents, view PDFs.
Cons: occasionally spotty call quality performance. middle-of-the-road reception. 3G capability, but limited to AT&T for U.S. networks. built-in email program works, but is somewhat lacking in features.
