After owning the 4050 for awhile I have come up with the following review:
Pros:
-The phone has an amazing main screen.
-The calendar graphics are very nice. That program looks the same as the one I use on my Mac.
-The camera is good. Not digital camera quality but good for phone standards.

Cons:
-The manual stinks. Toshiba should have taken more time creating a manual that at least looks like they cared.
-The speakerphone is terrible. Maybe it is just my phone, but the speakerphone is unusable due to the vibration/static sound coming from it.
-The exterior screen is not very good. Since I really don't use the exterior screen much, it is a non-issue for me.
-The battery cover has gotten looser the longer I've owned it.
-The phone has never dropped a call but the reception does get choppy. It seems like it wants to drop the call but it hangs in there and stays connected.
-I have taken a lot of pictures of the inside of my pocket. Toshiba should allow the user to disable the exterior button for the camera. It is way to easy to accidentally press.
-In order to use the speakerphone, the phone must be open. It should be an option for the user to close the phone and stay connected while on the speakerphone.
-The video recorder is not real good. I guess future phones may improve in this area. I guess the 4050's video may be as good as some of the store security cameras, the lower end ones.
