Summary: A really cool phone
Review: This phone does precisely what I have wanted a phone to do well: make phone calls, synchronize my calendar and contacts and play MP3s. On top of that, it plays videos, does e-mail, IM and allows you to go onto the Internet. It is very customizable and synchronizes with Outlook extremely well. As for e-mail, I'm using the phone as an IMAP client and it works reasonably well and I have been sending & receiving email from this device.The speakerphone works fairly well. To turn on the speakerphone, you hold and press the call button while you're on the call. Downloading and installing apps on this phone is great. For games, I installed an NES emulator along with some of my favorite ROMs like Tecmo Super Bowl and Legend of Zelda... There is also a Theme Generator that is downloadable from Microsoft...And I replaced my background image with a photo and changed my color scheme. That and I got to preview how my background photo would look with all the text. The display is relatively big and the resolution is pretty good: 176 x 220. I re-encoded some video tailored for Pocket PC with the WindowsMedia Encoder and it plays back well. I also store pictures of my family and it looks fairly good. The open/close mechanism is very slick and has a nice "click" to it. You'll get lots of fingerprints on the glossy black finish. My wife and her friends don't like that it's black and said it would be nicer if it were silver. Maybe Motorola will come out with different color cases in the future? What I really like about the design is no antenna that sticks out to stab you. The antenna is integrated inside the phone and I noticed my signal is equivalent to my old V60i TDMA phone everywhere I go. You can customize & download apps onto your phone though much of the customization can be done through the phone rather than downloading a cab file...
And you can get a free 32MB MMC card from that link as well (Expires April 2004). The negatives... It doesn't have bluetooth nor does it have a camera. The USB and infrared suffice for ActiveSync data synchronization and I can live without a camera. I enjoy the fact that it doubles as an MP3 player though the sound quality is mediocre even through the stereo headphones (bass is seriously lacking). The jog dial button as others have mentioned is pretty worthless and especially annoying when you're playing video or music since it pauses momentarily the music if accidently pressed. I talked with someone at Microsoft at the recent Telecom conference in Geneva and they said that the next version should have Smartphone 2003, possibly bluetooth and a camera. That should come out around February of next year. Again, those were not important features for me (though bluetooth may be cool in the future as new peripherals come out) while the synchronization capabilities are very seamless and exactly what I wanted. Well, I didn't want to wait that long and the phone as it is now does everything I need it to do and it does it well.

Summary: Very decent
Review: If you are already into the Pocket PC/Windows Mobile platform you'll find this phone very appealing. The interface is NOT touch-screen so you'll need to get used to navigating with the keypad, but it's pretty easy to adjust. I do wish there were a keyboard like the Treo. If you want to do e-mails a lot this is not for you, nor if you want to input a lot of data. This is foremost a cell phone and it's excellent at that, with great voice quality and loud ringtones. The screen is a bit dark but still useable. The PDA functions are primarily for looking up info as opposed to inputting it. Web surfing is very convenience, but AT&T's GPRS network is not fast although faster than T-Mobile's, from my experience. So here you have it, a great phone that allows you to run programs, listen to MP3 or WMA (stereo earphones included in kit), and surf the web. It's really a great phone to begin with so it's worth the nice price Amazon offers it at.

Summary: Goodbye Java Crap
Review: This phone is great. I may be one of the first activated - but I would imagine that many will using it soon. The software available is fantastic. Go for it - even though the AT&T GSM network is horrible. Come on AT&T....! fix up your network so we can use this great technology in more places!!!

Summary: Finally in the United States
Review: This phone is very compact for the number of features that it has. One of the things I like the most about it is that if you put the ring volume in "automatic" mode it will be silent during meetings as long as you have that meeting in your calendar. Finally, I no longer have to carry around a PDA and a phone. Battery time has improved from the older versions of the Smartphones. It doesn't have the 2003 version yet, but I hope that ATT will allow an upgrade later. Getting mail from your Exchange server, if your company uses Exchange 2000/3, is a big bonus. Overall, I am VERY hapy with this phone.

Summary: Substance, not flash
Review: I guess comparing this phone's fun factor to all the gee-whiz-it-has-a-camera-bluetooth-wifi-rocket-launcher-cloaking device models on the market is unfair. That would be like comparing a minivan to a sports car. Now if you were a family of 8 trying to decide between a minivan and a sports car, it would be no contest. That's how I feel about this phone. In other words, it satisfies my NEEDS, not my wants. Sure I want a camera, and an MP3 player, and the other fluff, but this synchs with Outlook as effortlessly as any regular PPC. I took it right out of the box, totally ignored the companion disk, plugged it into my desktop using the supplied usb cable and my already-installed activesync, and in less than a minute had ALL my vital info. in my phone. No need to carry my trusty 1945 anymore. It synchs contacts, tasks, inbox, and the calendar (files have to be manually copied to the device, and notes is MIA). It coexists peacefully in activesync alongside my regular PPC. My only minor gripes with the device is a somewhat confusing and unintuitive navigation system and button layout. You sometimes have to press through several button cycles to perform the simplest of tasks. And in an extremely questionable engineering decision, the side jog-dial (which could have EASILY saved many navigation frustrations), is relegated to nothing more than a earpiece volume adjuster. All menus are navigated by the d-pad and several buttons on the face. The Panasonic GU87, which I exchanged for this, was much more intuitive and user-friendly, (not counting the "fun" task of manually entering scores of contacts into the phone via the dial butons (pressing 3 times to get a letter Y, etc) of course. My other only major gripe is the usual Microsoft headaches. What's up with the total lack of AOL mobile software? It's nice to have messenger on the phone, but at least the others give you a choice of several IM clients. Unfortunately, I do a TON of communicating with co-workers via AIM. Messenger is useless to me (unless I can convince a LOT of folks to convert). I'm honestly hoping that an AIM option is on the companion disc I have yet to open. Memory is a little sparse (10 megs for storage), but it accepts SD cards. Other than that, it's a great phone and has many cool features still waiting to be discovered. Not a complete PPC replacement, but close enough to make you leave your PPC home for all but the most specialized of needs. A mini stylus, touchscreen, and a few more "regular" PPC attributes could make this THE mobile office device.

Summary: Great phone! Awesome Outlook integration! Plays games!
Review: Finally Smartphone in the US! It has awesome Outlook integration, it's great to be able to have everything with me on the road. Add to that the ability to play MP3 files and games and you'll be leaving your PDA behind. I can't wait to be able to play games like Lands of Shadowgate which promises multiplayer gaming on this great phone.

Summary: Very good phone. Very poor service.
Review: Very disatisfied with ATT Wireless service. Even in the midst of Chicago Loop I usually have the "No Service" legend on the screen. What's worst is that the legend stay for ever there and I have to turn the phone off and back on to get service. Also, I usually have service outages with messages sayng there is a problem with the SIM card.
What had me write this review is that I right now can't dial!!! No even entering a number. Weirdest. And in addition, just realized my whole calendar and contacts list is missing. It'is frustrating.
Connecting ATT customer service? A pain. You stay there for 20 minutes -or more- and when you get to a rep signal is lost. Extremely lousy.
As far as with the phone, it has great qualities. I hope they improve radically the service now that ATT is part of Cingular.

Summary: Love it!!!
Review: OK- unlike most reviewers I will review the PHONE rather than spend the whole review complaining about AT&T (which *does* stink for GSM service). I've been a PocketPC user for over a year, and this OS is almost identical. Very intuitive and easy to use. I previously only owned Nokia phones and though I'd need time to get adjusted- not so! Very easy to use an loaded with cool features. The unit comes with two headsets (stereo and mono) for listening to MP3's, which are played via Windows Media Player on the phone. Sound quality is great. The PDA functions are great for viewing, but combersome for editing... but chances are you use your PC/Outlook for all the editing and creating of email/tasks/etc... and the phone is there for a reminder. One VERY cool feature is the phone can be set to automatically switch profiles during appointments (ie meetings created in outlook). So you can set your ringtone, and then have it switch to vibrate only during meetings. Very useful to me. Also a neat feature is the ability to use ANY .wav or MIDI file for a ringtone. I recorded a 5 second WAV of my favorite guitar riff, copied it to the phone via ActiveSync (included and really easy to use), and used it as my ring tone. The speakerphone works great--- callers say I sound clear as a bell. The screen resolution/color are absolutely incredible. The response time is FAST under almost all situations. I briefly used a Sony/Ericsson T68i and it was so painfully slow that I got rid of it almost immediately. This phone has none of the same. All in all-- a fantastic phone.

Review: The phone is very good. However, the service isn't. I moved from Sprint to AT&T GSM. I didn't see that much difference in service. Both are almost same (AT&T is little bit better). Good things about this phone: Outlook Sync, Expandable (SD Card), Installing new programs, Auto Profile.
Worst things about this phone: Time is not Sync with the Satellite - won't automatically adjust time with time zone changes (EST, CST, etc) very bad for frequent travels or with day light saving timings, Caller ID is not working properly - only showing numbers in the external LCD even the entry is in the phone book, Have to press the Phone-Hang button 3 to 4 times to end a call, Speaker phone is not good, Battery performance is very bad. Good things about the service: No roaming charge for National service plans thought USA, Your phone works on any GSM network (Cingular, T-Mobile, etc).
Worst things about the service: No signal even in my home (outside works fine) - in traveling I have some problems with signal, Drop calls (a lot - similar to sprint), no free cell to cell minutes unless both phones are on AT&T network (Ex: Assume that you are calling a friend who also has AT&T GSM service. You are traveling and your phone is showing Cingular or T-Mobile or something else (other than AT&T), then your minutes are not counted as cell-to-cell minutes. Vice versa too - when you are in AT&T and your friend is on different network. THIS IS VERY BAD when both are paying for AT&T service but won't get free cell-to-cell minutes.)
