Best GSM Cell Phones - 200 to 420 MHz Processor Speed, 2 to 217 Hours Standby Time

'Our one big complaint about the phone: If you want to dial a number that's not in your address book, you have to open the screen first so that you can access the keyboard/dial pad, then close it again to use it as a phone--a really cumbersome setup.'

'the phone is so terribly slow you'll have plenty of time to ponder what you're going to do next while you wait for a screen refresh.'

'it lacks 3G support.'

'The phone is too frustrating to use.'

'The choice was difficult because other than this recurring problem the T-Mobile Dash (upgraded to Windows Mobile Standard v6) had been a near perfect converged handheld device for me.'

'Speakerphone performance is below par.'

'the lack of numberpad does mean that making calls to new numbers is more hassle than with a normal phone'

'the buttons are tiny, so we often pressed the wrong key'

'rechargeable 1,200 mAh Lithium Ion battery will not allow for any extended use of an accessory such as a Wi-Fi card as it already struggles to provide sufficient battery life as is.'

'The buttons on it are small and hard to press if you have large fingers.'

'QVGA resolution which is now not enough for a high-end phone.'

'The keyboard has white backlighting, which looks somewhat uneven.'

'Unfortunately, T-Mobile left the slow CPU intact, making this otherwise powerful handset feel sluggish and sticky to use'

'The phone's speaker sounded awful, though, and listening through the included earbuds was far from pleasurable.'

'Battery life rates only as middling when all features are turned on; I had to recharge each day despite only average usage.'
