What reviewers say
Both reviews praise the sharp display, responsive keypad and business tools. GSMArena likes the solid construction and fast browsing, while TechRadar finds the design plain and corporate setup difficult. Battery findings differ; TechRadar gets less than three days with light Wi-Fi and 3G use, whereas GSMArena reports recharging only once during an unspecified test period.
