I was having a lot of trouble placing the phone in the cradle. It just didn’t seem to want to go, and I was afraid of bending pins etc. I thought this was going to be a dealbreaker, but now I’ve figured out that it’s not actually a difficult procedure after all.

Try as I might, I could not easily slide the phone down on the charger. Well, apparently, if you place the bottom of the phone into the charger first, then you ca neasily lean the phone back into the cradle where it snaps into place.

Incoming call waiting calls are not easily answered by a tap on the earpiece, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out. Also, there appears to be no way to mute yourself from the ear piece either. That’s kind of irritating.

I got some family photos easily transferred into the device, and they look great on the brilliant color screen.

The volume button is an up-down option on the left side of the pda. It inadvertently gets touched, toggling the ringer on – off – and vibrate. there doesn’t seem to be a way to disable it or change the functions.

7pm now – what a long day! – I WILL print the manual. there. Now it’s printing.

The slide out keypad light goes out, too quickly, and you can’t see the keys to type. This forum is great. Within 10 minutes of posting I had an answer for the keyboard lights.

the voice recognition stinks. same forum recommends getting something called Microsoft Voice Commander ($40) instead of using the crappy Voice signal that comes with it. There IS voice prompting, but it works erratically.
