    CNET Review

    July 20, 2005

    The Good: Two-megapixel camera; nice slider design; large, gorgeous screen; direct-to-printer photo printing; business card reader; streaming video and audio player; 32MB TransFlash memory card included; 3D gaming.

    The Bad: Bulky and heavy; no Bluetooth or IR support; no speakerphone; choppy video over 1xRTT network; expensive.
