Surfing the web = Slow
AIM = Great
Everything = Alright

I use mine everyday, I mainly use it for AIM, Sucks when you talk on the phone, I find myself switching Sim Cards when I talk long periods on the phone, Not the most durable phone either, I see at least 1 every 2 or so weeks that the screen is cracked or broken, but it should be fine if you take care of it, they have a lot of bugs, like lots of people have software problems like them freezing or sometimes randomly reception going out, or many whose cameras have gone bad, but in general I have one and its not a bad device, Dont get it if you are mainly gonna surf the net, because GPRS goes like a 14k Modem, its not even 56k, its alright for basic things for surfing.

i love it..i like the way u hold it the best when you talk, cuz it feels perfect to me. But yes the internet is fuckin slow, but it has a shit load of features, only thing i really hate is how there is almost noway to get some damn ringtones without paying, if im right.

flipping the screen is fuckin addictive too...and the screen gets scratched up fast like an ipod screen shit

but i say overall for the money its worth it

I think once the SK comes with EDGE or another form of a GSM based broadband, it will sell like hotcakes....

I agree! They had some way of using the Developers Kit or something and adding ringtones but who bothers with that, I think you cant even get that Kit anymore.
