This phone is very good in some aspects but then lets itself down badly in others. As with all Windows driven items it benefits from being re-started occasionally - something most people don't do with their phone.
Choosing it for the right reasons seems to be critical if this phone is to please you. I wanted a quad band phone that would synchronise well with my email server and act as a temporary laptop when I am abroad to save me carrying all that weight. To that extent it would strike five stars, though it it not yet synchronising my calendar dates effectively. Difficulty is that I'm not sure if it is the phone or my email server host set up - the latter is blaming the former though I am less confident!
The file management system on the handset seems almost impossible to work properly - only plugging it into a pc allows you to move files - though me doing that with some Tom Tom files recently stopped it working as it blocked paths!
The camera is of little real value so don't chose it for that reason. The video quality is ok but not great so again look elsewhere if that's your primary buying criteria.
Of the things I really wanted the music player is most frustrating - getting music on the system is difficult and the file management is once again poor meaning that getting albums onto the phone in the right order has eluded me until now. That's a real shame because that should be extremely easy by modern standards.
One aspect of how the phone behaves is relating to the powersave on the screen. It cuts in very quickly (within a minute) in whatever programme you are running even though I've set it to 5 minutes. This means sometimes having to unlock the phone mid-call - damned annoying to be honest. The other issue relates to the fact that the screen remains dark until you have unlocked it. This means that in anything other than darkness you cannot see the keys to use the stylus correctly and must 'know' the phone to achieve a successful unlock. I would have wanted a full power screen as soon as you press any relevant button to help with that unlocking process.
I would have thought HTC could have solved these things very easily with updates but their website and support are lacking. They have every opportunity, in concept, to keep me as a client for a very long time but may lose me if they don't address these problems.
All in all a great concept but as someone else said - the execution is flawed.

I don't know what the previous reviews are on about. I have the O2 XDA Stellar version of this PDA and find it excellent. It is not at all slow, it runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 and I find it fast, reliable and easy to use. I'm not running sat nav software although I do have Anquet Maps installed on my PC which in turn installs the pocket version on my Stellar. The runs software brilliantly - very useful when I am out walking the footpaths. I have a very "techhie" friend who also has this phone and (very unusually for him) says he can't fault it. Buy one! it's great

Having been using Windows Mobile based phones since the iMate Jam back in 2004, I would say that I have a little knowledge when it comes to touch screen phones using windows mobiles.
I am a little surprised by people who have been leaving this phone low feedback. Granted this phone has a few issues, with regards to the video performance but there is no way that this phone is a 1/5.
Prior to this I had the HTC Wizard or T-Mobile Mda 1 which was the first qwerty slide out Keyboard device HTC made. That one was an absolute nightmare out of the box and used to die on me all the time, however over time with updates it got really fast. In fact it was so good that I was a little disappointed when I upgraded to this machine.
Having said that this phone has it's advantages over the previous phone in that the screen is better, the keyboard is much better and it has built in GPS and 3g which I use all the time. TOMTOM works on this phone as if you have a real TOMTOM and picks up the satellites very quickly.
After having installed the Opera Browser I surf the web with the 3g connection all the time and I often tether it to my pc using the built in internet sharing application to surf the web on my Laptop anytime I am out and about.
People who're buying this to use it for Excel and Office applications are kidding themselves. How are you going to work on an Excel spreadsheet on a 2.8inch screen. Come one!
The phone could be faster, but it's not as slow as the people here are complaining about, my Girlfriend has a Nokia series 60 phone which she's always complaining freezes on her and I have people at work who have iPhones and their phones are always freezing on them as well. You take the rough with the smooth. People who own Ferrari's don't complain they have to have them serviced every 4000 miles, just like people who have Off roaders can't complain that they can't take corners like a hot hatch. You have to take the rough with the smooth.
If you want something which has great call quality, Surf's the web, sends emails, syncs easily with outlook; You can do some minor office work on it. Has SatNav facility, send's MMS's, Sms, has built in Wireless Lan, has built in Msn Messenger, you can play basic games on, Listen to music, watch some movies (screen's a bit small) and basically organise your life on the move, this thing kills the iPhone hands down. Granted the other one looks cooler and has a better OS. This thing has much better GPS functionality.
Bottom line is, you can get individual device's which will do all the things this does much better. But this Phone is great at doing lots of things. Granted it's doesn't do every one of them perfectly, but as a convergence device this thing Rocks. Would have been a lot better if they had sorted out the Hardware Video driver issue's but I still like my phone which I've had for 5 months.
