Good Points

Nice screen, stylish look, great rollerball to navigate your screen.

Bad Points

MASSIVE bug with the caller id function. You cannot get caller id and text message id working together. Base on the way numbers work in the UK if you put +44 on the front of phone numbers in your phone book it will recoginise text messages that come on your phone and tell you who they are from but when that person calls you it does not recognise the person from your phone book. And visa versa if you leave the +44 off the number it then recognises callers but not text messages.

General Comments

Overall the phone is stylish with good features but falls down heavily with the MASSIVE software bug.

Respect given for chrislaas's review.

    You can edit this setting by going into the last call list, pressing the meny button, going into options, clicking on "smart Dialing and changing the country code to +44...Problem solved..

    Awesome Phone!

    Not a bug at all - simply go to the call log, press the menu button next to the green accept call button and select OPTIONS and the SMART DIALING - form here change the country code to +44 - simple!
