Pros
top nav, esp with Runkeeper
Cons
No 3.5mm Jack

I wanted to plug in a transmitter for a UDIRC Helicopter but the transmitter has a 3.5mm jack. I'm hoping a 5 pin mini usb to 3.5mm female cable/adapter will fix the problem. Anyone tried it? The adapters can be found on ebay for $1.

Pros
GPS, Price, durability

Slow Processor

I've had this phone for 14 months and it has been dropped, kicked and beaten within an inch of it's life and it still works a treat barring some responsiveness issues on Facebook at times. The processor is only 600Mhz so doesn't match up to the more expensive smartphones but for the price at Dick Smith you can't go wrong...just upgrade the android s/ware to 2.2 first up.

Well, I own this phone without doing research on it. It just simply popped out at me. In my opinion I really like this phone. I've had it for about a year, and my horse just recently stepped on it (weighs about 1,200lbs) and it's doing just fine.

Well to bad that it is not voice command when using the bluetooth. Tickets are expensive. All phone should be voice command now. I should bought the nexus S more powerful and it voice command.
