'having said as much, i do like this phone very much. i previously tried out the samsung a900 for 2 weeks and thought that the design of the samsung was missing two crucial elements: memory and battery life. sanyo got both right in m1, and more.'
'Sanyo uses that gigabyte as a springboard to give the phone as much multimedia juice as possible.'
'as today's phones are so slim and slender in comparison.'
'Don't get me wrong - at roughly twice the thickness of your standard "slim phone," this handset bulges noticeably in the pocket of all but the baggiest pants. '
'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.'
'We were actually quiet surprised with the Sidekick and its performance.'
'There is not TouchFLO interface though, which is just as well since the design of the LCD is the traditional kind with a raised bezel around it, which makes finger swiping a little difficult.'
'We got our hands on a pre-production version of the G60 nüvifone model at Mobile World Congress to give you a first impressions review and it struck us as a pretty slick device.'
'Critics say the nuvifone can't do many of the things people have come to
expect from their smartphones, and it feels completely outdated.'
'Physically, the G60 is a beautiful phone, with a well-designed hardware package. '
