Had mine for three days now, really thinking hard about taking it back. For a phone this whiz-bang, it has been completely castrated of any potential customization beyond wallpapers and "Obnoxious Ringtone A" vs "Obnoxious Ringtone B." The menu is pink on black. Or if you are daring, pink on white. Soft key is locked on the t-zone. Which to me, sounds like some porno term. T-Zone. Whatever. From which you can download new ringtones. For a $1.99 a shot and NO preview. Incoming text message tones, there are five, no more can be added, and they are all junk. Beep or tone is NOT an option, when you get a text message you either have a really obnoxious sound or vibrate or nothing.
The form factor IS incredible. The camera is actually decent. The LCD is crisp and bright. I like the action on the keys. Battery life and call quality is very good.
Someone, SAMSUNG, T-Mobile or both, has hijacked a decent piece of tech to impress someone. Someone else, cause the lack of ANY decent options w/in the settings menu kills this phone for me.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
