For a normal user like me, an absolutely compelling device that meets all requirements of everyday life: calls good (somewhat blechener sound of Lauptsprechers), e-mail well, good surfing.
Beautiful, clear display that can be operated very well; scroll and slide works without batting.
Seamlessly navigate and jump between applications.
Great operating system, easy to use; the built-in browser makes everything (incl. Flash) with.
E-mail accounts are easy to set up and works fine.
To my mind very good workmanship and a decent battery life (as I said: Normal user; occasionally calls, from time to surf, from and to email); no long-term use to gamble etc.
So it was the right choice for me, even though there is no question that other manufacturers offer similar good equipment. These are then but differences in details, or design etc. Since then everyone must decide what he likes better.
I can only recommend the device, give 4 stars in the knowledge that there are even better equipment. But that does not need for a normal user.
