More than 50,000 apps! Thin and pocketable. Tough casing can take a tumble yet looks sharp at the office. Free push-to-talk chatting and SMS with other iDen handsets (surely all your peeps are on Boost, yo?).
TIRED
Built-in mic is weaker than a virgin daiquiri. 15-fps video resembles footage from the moon landing. Fake-out: What looks like a touch scroll wheel is just a D-pad. 2.5-mm headphone jack. Bail is cheaper.
