This is comming from a very spectical kinda guy.

Closed Design: 9/10
I really like the black/blue deal, im sick of silver phones. i like the placement of the buttons on the left, but the right side buttons are wack, one, they are too small, i didnt even know they were there. one, theres like 20 different ways to capture the pic, and its so small, i gotta acutally put an effort into pushing the side one. I still havent found a use for the button with this on it
0))) what the hell does that do? I like where the camera and speaker have been placed compared to the 8100. Its also alot slimmer than the 8100. The multi color LED is sweet too. One downside is the shiny dark silver things on the top side corners, after a while, like on the 8100, they get all scratched and worn off and look *****ty, they should have given them the sand blasted look of the other buttons.

Open Design: 10/10
I love the inside of this phone. The chrome and the black buttons make it. The blue backlight on the keys is i nice change from the 8100's dim green lights.

Camera Quality: 9/10
The camera is great, except for an occasional yellowish tint. I like the size of the picture alot, its alot nicer than the 8100's view. Its very clear though. I wish that sanyo would have taken some d/l space to give the pics some more memory, that way you could zoom on high quality instead of having to switch to low quality to zoom, where you cant really see anything. The video camera is sweet, a pretty bad attemt at quality picture, but its sweet to say i have a video phone, lol. I like the zoom, and the quality while at 2x zoom is relatively the same as 1x. I liek the flash also, and video light.

Speaker Quality: 10/10
WOW, this is awesome, this speaker on this phone is amazing. It really sounds like your talking through the earpeice.

RL: i dont have anything to compare it to, but two thumbs up
The RL system is awesome, i like the connection time, and quality of the sound.

Battery Time: 4/10
I dont like this at all, i guess i played wit it alot the 1st day i got it, but it died that day, so, i am a lil weiry about it, its been about 6 hours and the bar hasnt moved, so thats good, lol. I hope this battery lasts, because i dont like the big extended batt.

Overall: 10/10

This phone is PIMP, i love the features and everything about it, if you got any q's about it or wanna try RL, pm me
