To give you an idea of what this is and isn’t:

First of all I have to say that this not going to be a regular review, not even hands on preview and I am not going to write one long piece, this is going to be something like various impressions of a power user.

The full, detailed review in Apoc-style will be ready next week; I definitely need some time to test it completely and deeply.

The first page of this write up is just a spec sheet, so don’t even bother. Page 2 is where the content lays:

I have to say that a few of my worst fears appear to be true, the screen resolution as well as the battery life are not suitable for such an undoubtedly powerful and superior smartphone, and these two things just do not follow other specifications.

A-freaking-greed. The smaller battery was included to save on size, but that isn’t what kills me. What really grinds my gears is the 320×240 display. Absolutely no excuse to include such a low end screen on such a high end device. No reason. Zero. Nill.

At this point in the article he is asking you guys for questions, all of which he will answer in his upcoming review. I can’t wait to read it Apaco!

So once again, if I miss something or this overview is not so easy to be understood because of my too technical speaking, or if you have any further questions, suggestions or just want to discuss about the phone, feel free to reach me at our forum or via e-mail as well.

There are a LOT of pictures of the device, as well as some sample photographs taken with the camera. I highly encourage you to check out his write up!

    Sure, go ahead, include a HVGA screen and pay even more and get even less battery life. Of course there are reasons to include the QVGA screen. Also, most reviews I’ve seen say the screen is good.
