Users can operate MS Office programs such as Excel, Word, Powerpoint, and Outlook promptly. Intuitive User Interface provides direct-access to the most of menus and easy navigation in home screen. Especially, the phone is very efficient in email features offering HTML format email, easy editing (cut, copy and paste), and unified email and SMS/MMS management. Automatic pop-up helps users know whenever they get email and always be connected.

It sounds very attractive but as soon as I noticed there's no slide-out qwerty, it's a no go for me. But for those of you who could care less about a keyboard, this may be a great phone for you. What do you think?

I miss the form factor of the good 'ol SMT5600. This phone is like the SMT5600, only slimmer. I think value is key. If the pricing is low enough, and the phone functions well, it may have a future.

This is the exact phone that I have been looking for, if it has Wi-Fi. SMT5600 updated.
