this phone reminds me of the Motorola MotoQ (this doesnt have Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities) and the Nokia E61.

This phone has Bluetooth v1.1 where as the other 2 phones have v1.2. IMO all the manufacturers should start adopting Bluetooth v2 in their phones.

I used to have one and it's not a good phone, the PDA features are great, the screen is amazing, but the phone element isn't great.
