I have this phone and I like it overall. It is about the same size as my previous phone (Nokia 8890), which is pretty small, albeit not "thin". I don't like the touch buttons for the same reasons mentioned in this review. I wish they were physical button (or at least the center "OK" button .. like that of the iPod). The screen is great, pictures are ok, movie clips suck. I did wish it had speaker phone. The slide is very solid and feels like high quality. I don't like the power/pc sync cord connector. Wish it had a docking station like the Nokia 8890 instead of having to plug it (after opening that little receptacle on its side). No voice recorder :-( No FM radio. The headphone adapter (fugly) goes into where the power cord plugs into, and it is a 2.5mm plug :-( Why not a standard headphone plug.. real stupid. MicroSD support is nice. A2DP support is nice (haven't tried). Call quality, signal strength, both very good. I would've like the Sony-Ericsson K790a but not sure if they'll ever start selling it?
