I bought this phone on Sat morning; I was happy. I returned it Mon evening; I was happier! I was (and still am) a user of Sony Ericsson W800i. Thank god I decided to upgrade (upgrade??) to HTC S710, for now I love my Sony Ericsson even more. I thank all the reviewers for painting a rosy picture of HTC S710; but for that, I wouldn't have bought a phone from a brand that's unknown to most in India. Soon it will be popular.... for wrong reasons.
The phone is loaded with features: Bluetooth, latest Windows OS, Camera, QWERTY keyboard, WiFi... all of which are disappointing at one level or the either. I could never configure Outlook to access emails from my office's Exchange Server; maybe I'm dumb or the server is lazy to send files across. It takes forever to load HTML pages with just 1 or 2 graphics in them; maybe the connection is playing some mischief or the HTML pages are too concerned about the limited space available on the mobile.
The battery drains out by evening; maybe I was abusing the phone by overworking it; I should have given it a break for 4-5 hrs. Don't we all need breaks.
The back panel gets heated up; I guess it's an undocumented feature. The phone can double as an iron box too. Hats off to HTC for this unique innovation! I'll stop here... else you may think I'm being cattish. Final verdict: This phone is worth gifting to your enemies.
