I imagine in an office where it is sat in a cradle it is passable but on a site it is useless, when it rang you would take the wallet out your pocket, then take the phone out the wallet and then go to answer it using your fingers to unlock it, 9 times out of ten it rang off before you got to it !. Despite settings it had an annoying habit of the screen turning off when using it so if using answerphone you first had to tap the screen to turn the screen on and then tap again to bring up a keyboard so you could enter the numbers to access answerphone !
I think in designing it they forgot it was supposed to be a phone 1st and foremost, battery life also was less than a day if used a lot. I sold it on ebay for £200 last week and I am back on my 4 yr old phone which lasts all week on one charge and has a normal keyoard
