HTC S710

One of...

I ventured into the Orange Shop today because i wanted to get my paws on this wonderful phone!!! I was surprised to find it was so light. And the screen brightness was superb. Had a dabble with the keyboard and started to write a text message (though i did not send it!!) using the slide out keyboard and it felt very smooth. With the limited time i did not really get a chance to delve too deeply into the applications but two things put me off with the orange version of this phone. one was the absence of MSN Messenger and the other was the lack of a case in the box ! Other than that it was a super phone. I almost bought it too...but held back to cool off and think about it first before diving headlong into something only to find a even more shiner toy ahem i mean phone comes along in the next month or so !!!

I never use a case so the lack of one didn't really bother me, especially as the S710 is eminently pocketable although a few of the people at work want a case so I'm eagerly waiting for the 3rd party case makers to pull their collective fingers out.
