Okay, this phone isn't perfect but it gets 5 stars. Why? Because at this moment its the best value for your money. Sure, the 650 is better, but unless you want to lock yourself into a 2 year contract its going to cost significantly more. Other comparable options cost similar to the 650.
What I use it for: I'm a T-mobile customer and this phone is a) cheaper than the phone through T-mobile and b) is unlocked. So when I'm in Europe this spring I can simply replace the SIM and go. Note that this is the GSM model - it won't work on Verizon or Sprint.
Pros: Syncing is effortless, scheduling software mimics Outlook 2003 perfectly. Phone works great - good reception and sound quality.
Cons: No bluetooth, no WIFI (the 650 lacks this as well). Screen isn't hi res, camera quality is low (if you want quality get a digicam, I have a Canon S400). Lets be honest - this is yesterday's technology.
Unknowns: Reliability. I've only had this phone for a few days, and we'll see how it stands the test of time.
Conclusion: If you want the latest and greatest get the 650, Nokia 9300, or something else. But you'll be paying that early adopter premium. If you want something that elegantly does the job at a great price then get this.
