MyFuzeMuse and I immediately bonded because of its nature---which is, for voice calls and setting up/using email by touch, is natural, fast, easy, efficient. This is cell email like it ought to be!

The PTT button location IS a definite disadvantage! Can it be disconnected?

The other three major probs:

1) ActiveSync automatically is on when the device is on. Why? It destroys the battery life. Can it be set to come on manually?

2) When the device is OFF, and a call is made to it, the device powers ON. That also drinks the battery juice. Can it be set to not ring when it is powered OFF?

3) I cannot locate a case that protects the touchscreen---and remains practical with the screen showing so as to continally apprise me of all types of messages as they arrive. Even putting the device into my shirt pocket makes it turn a page. Betwixt the touchscreen and the PTT button, I am repeatedly hitting the HOME "button" to get back to where I want to be.

Contrariwise, I so appreciate the large numbers on the soft keypad, the choices that automatically appear onscreen when a number has been dialed---in particular the speakerphone "button." The sound is great even to my ears (which are older than the rest of me). The tiny keys on the pullout hardware keyboard are surprisingly tight and easy to accurately hit, and a little software keyboard is always available with one touch.

Although the device has a slight lag, it is not enough to bother me; it is so faster than my last two Nokias that I am thrilled with the speed.
