Pros: Easy to use. Has Everything ! Picture Fixing too!

Cons: Editing contacts explanation did not work in the book/booklet, and some of the touch screen commands are a little too sensitive

I had a really hard time giving up my Blackberry, but the Xenon looked intriguing ! At first I tried things without any instructions and pretty much everything was fine; except for when I wanted to "edit" my contacts. No where in the instru...ctions does it say to "double-tap" the contact (instead it gave a different instruction which did not work at all) Oh plus I'm a picture-taker and this phone allows for editing/fixing them too ! I was so use to using the T9 feature on my QWERTY keyboard on the Blackberry, but this slide out QWERTY keyboard is ALOT easier to use. Although T9 is available on the Xenon, I used it twice when I first bought it, but it's just too easy to slide and text. And the e-mail feature too easy. I do prefer the preprogrammed ringtones on my Blackberry though, but that's about it. The 18 "my favorite" contacts is so much easier than scrolling through or remembering "speed dial" #'s. Widgets are great, setting the alarm easier, notepad easier, voice notes easier. Did have a hard time looking up info while talking on the phone. Did I miss anything ? Read more Less
