The Good:

Camera: The 5MP camera lives up to expectations, little below point-and-shoot cameras by standards, but above your average cameraphones. No optical zoom though, although it may seem to have one. The slider at the lens doubles as zoom when on camera mode, or volume and or menu up-down switch.

The Bad


Touchscreen: Touchscreen is resistive so it needs some learning to use. It has touch feedback if you want an added indicator that you've touched something. Screen is prone to scratches unlike glass, so install some screen protectors.

No WiFi: Means you have to deal with your operator's Internet connection (and fees).

Chrome fades: The faux-metal on the side of the phone can be scratched and removed on constant use.

Supports only 2GB: Your phone can easily fill this storage specially if you're shooting 5MP images. You will notice that your phone hangs when it is full.

Overall
A decent camera phone with not so much features. If you want to call/text and take photos on the go, this may very well serve that purpose.
