I have been using it for a month and its kinda like the best thing ive ever invested on...u can do any damn stuff on it..its got features which are all useful in India!! Dosent support 3G..not bothered...no network of india does!!EDGE is like a boon for browsing speed..speakers are damn loud..cam gets 8 out of 10...(2 Mpx)..windows mobile 6 is the best thing that hapnd to this fone..its awesome!!!worth the buy..battery lasts for almost 30 hrs with extensive speaking and browsing.I am HAPPY with this piece...sliding QWERTY keyboard is good for people with less patience compared to a touch screen..very sturdy and very user friendly!!! buy it..and ull never regret that expense!!
I have used a siemens A 35, nokia 1100, siemens s60, nokia 6600, nokia N 72, Nokia N90, Sony erricson k800i(from dxb)...then I shifted over to the HTC S710..The only problem that I have been facing is the screen tarnsition from potrait mode to landscape mode while the slide out of the qwerty keypad..and also the all rounder yahoo program yahoo go! does not function on the landscape mode..and hence its a pain to type using the 12 key layout..its got a dedicated home key...and an effective home page layout..helps you go to what u need almost effortlessly...one of the fastest selling models in the HTC...my dealer alone has sold over 275 pieces in a month..lot of my recommendations...trend setting and eye catching piece of engineering...got good driver software and synchronizes real fast..can self install on VISTA, although you might have to put in the driver cd to get all features..the other hitch is the one poke station for all three features...sync, headphones and charger..thankfully it charges from the usb of the comp...so its just the fight between music and sync!!!
