| Cons:
- hardware keyboard: I know this has not been getting a lot of love from the reviewers. While it's really not great, it's not that bad, either. It kinda grows on you. It's great to have it once in a while if you need more screen real-estate. I prefer the virtual keyboard (replaced it with an app called "better keyboard" because the latter will allow me to more easily switch the input language between German and English). The device is so thin that having the QWERTZ keyboard at least doesn't make it awkward to type on the virtual one. It's more of a bonus to satisfy those coming from a Blackberry or a Motorola Q. | |

I started a big thread about this over at Android forums (make sure zyou join, it ihas a busy Droid section)...

General concensus is that it gets MUCH better over time.

| - only three screens are available for customization. Having used the HTC Hero before, I have to say that three screens aren't enough. I can live with them, but I'd love to have more. | |

You can download homescreen that change this, here's one, GDE cube app, remove the cube effects (laggy) and it seems to be awesome:

| Neutral:
- the battery life. With push, 3G and / or Wifi enabled, it'll only last a day. That sucks. But that's still 4-5 hours longer than my iPhone 3GS which I always have to charge twice a day, burning through the recharge-cycles at an alarmingly high rate (which is super, since the iPhone 3GS won't allow me to a) carry a second battery and b) exchange the battery myself once it's toast). | |

Meh a day is normal nowadays... I can live with that.

| - the camera: it's not super great (I'm told there are better cams in some Nokias) but it's not really bad either. It doesn't have the focus issue. Mine has a visible purple tint, though, in the middle of the picture which seems to be a manufacturing defect. It's hard to spot, so I really can't blame QC for letting that slip through (although I probably should) - but as a part-time photographer, it bothers me. But then again: as a photographer, I don't use cell-phones to take pictures anyway - that's why I won't get the phone repaired (and risk a lengthy wait) over this. | |

Hmm i'd be annoyed if I had a defect personally, but if it doesn't bother you then fine. I read that the camera focussing issues are wholly software related and this was revealed during a timestamp bug

What's the video recording like on top quality though?

| it's the phone that I will FINALLY sell my iPhone for. For me, it just beats the iPhone in almost every category and it fills my heart with great joy that I can finally show the finger to the Great Dictator that Apple has become in the cell-phone world without having to feel iPhone-envy anymore. | |

Very nice to hear. Where did you buy it and how much?
