his phone has a lot of good annd great things, but im sure everyone is aware of what they are. This post only covers the BAD points and bugs which i noticed since i recieved this phone less than 12 hours ago.

1) Unlike the other versions, it does not have a Designed for Windows Mobile logo on the rectangular area just below the camera lens. It makes the rectagular area look a bit odd....

2) I thought i could leave the device on the desk, in "laptop" mode, and talk over speakerphone. However the person on the other side couldnt hear me at all unless i hold the pda really close to me. Im not sure if this is because i switched ACG on.

3) When coming out of standby, or flipping open the screen from "closed" mode, it can sometimes take up to 4 seconds for the screen to fully draw. First 2 seconds you get a white screen, next 2-3 seconds the items draw on.\

4)Battery lock switch is a bit flimsy....

5) it is much certainly slower than wm 2k3se devices, but not unbearably so. I have not installed any third party apps as yet, to avoid problems.

6) sound quality is good, but because they dint include a software DSP or equaliser, its not reaching its full potential.

7)Its a reall pain in the @ss that they did not put at least two buttons on the screen area. This makes using it in tablet mode irritating. it would have made it soooooo much better to use if they had 2 of those buttons to correspond to the soft keys.

Cool the ergonomics of it are not great. for example the end and call buttons on the hinge are on the lower part of the hinge, and not in a convienient place to push when calling

9)No sign of USB host capibility. For such a laptop like device, its kinda sucky not to be able to connect mice, full keyboard, or other things vis usb. bluetooth peripherals are a bit pricey..

thats all i've noticed thusfar. I really hope a new rom revision is released soon

edit there is another one...

10) it seems to have fairly worse reception than my c500, i've tried both 2g ad 3g sims and got the same conclusion...
