    Oops, too slow :)

    Looks ugly though. Even though I find the THinkpad notebook a seksee mamma, the phone doesn't do it for me.

    I don't think it's ugly at all. They should call it the ThinkPhone.

    I like it and it has a nice price tag as well.

    Should have made a flip phone so when it's closed it actually looks like a Thinkpad.

    That sort of design would be reminiscent of the Motorola StarTAC.

    I would totally get that, I currently own a SE W810i which seems to be identical in terms of features.

    So why would you spend $$$ on another phone that does the same exact thing?

    phone is over a year old, it doesn't hold a charge for very long anymore and the bluetooth connection drops intermittently. has its share of scuffs as well.
