How is the push e-mail/data side working out, you getting hit for extra cost by vodafone?

Is it worth it?

I got a demo one in work. I disliked it immediately, I have a curve at the moment.

I passed it on to one of the junior guys in the office who was enthusiastic. He passed it onto another within 2 days who used if for a day then we sent it back.

To answer your question, nobody seemed to like it, it was very big and heavy plus it needed re-charging ridiculously frequently.

the poor battery life is the main concern with this phone, also the touch interface isn't as good as the iphone/touch and texting/writing email can be slow......everything but the battery will be sorted once firmware updates become available though, just the battery is a worry IMO.

'tis pretty heavy and I'm not sure about the touch screen lasting once it's been rattling around in pockets, etc
