Summary: Okay...I had this phone for about a week already, going on two. And so far I have no problems at all. I don't know what people are talking about battery life. Mine last the entire day and I talk/text/and use the internet all the time. I will go down to a single bar...but that is already when I'm at home and getting ready for bed. I charge it while I'm sleeping and it is ready to go in the morning.
It is easy to use. At first I thought I would have problem getting the hang of it. This is my first 'touch screen' phone and my first cell that isn't a 'flip phone'. I love the slide out keyboard, that comes in handy. it took me a day or two to finally get used to the slide out keyboard. I was still in my flip phone mode with hitting the keys 2-3 times for the letter.
And now when I get home I'll load up music onto the phone :) Can't wait!!!

I would recommend this phone.
But I really shouldn't...I dont like people having the same things as me :) hahaha
It is a great phone.

Pros: Internet interface is user friendly, texting is easy, accelerometer is convenient

Cons: Short battery life.

Summary: It's hard for me to say exactly what the pros are for this phone, because everything it does, it does very well. You get multiple options for texting (touch screen, T9, QWERTY keyboard), the call clarity is great, both on my end and the other person's, the touch screen is very responsive, it takes decent pictures and video, and a lot of things are customizable.

The one thing people have been complaining about is the short battery life, which I agree with. HOWEVER, the battery life is short because using the internet and texting are going to suck up a lot of the battery because they require more power than making calls or just letting your phone sit there. Luckily, the charger doubles as a data cable, and you can charge the phone on a computer through USB.

If you're looking for a phone with a lot of extras and mobile internet but you don't want an actual smart phone, The Tritan is the way to go.

Experience: 5 Days
Pros: Love the keyboard and touch screen features. Very easy to use and navigate around. This phone is very similar to the iPhone at a fraction of the cost.

Cons: After having the phone for 4 days, some of the keys on the keyboard do not work. I may just have a "bad" phone. Battery life could be better especially when using the Internet.

Summary: Despite the keyboard breaking, I'm willing to exchange it and try it again.

Tritan Lockdown

By: Z Tretiak on Monday, August 10, 2009
From: Concord, NH (United States)
Experience: 2 Months
Pros: Stylish, sleek, fairly-priced phone, all the gadgets and gimics you would want in a data phone.

Cons: Pricy to operate, sometimes shuts off for no apparent reason, and worst of all it LOCKS UP INTERMITENTLY. You can just go to pick up your phone one morning after a night's rest and the display is frozen in addition to the toolbar at the top of the screen lit up in brown with a lock symbol. As much as you try to unlock it from the side, it won't. I soon figured out that taking the battery out of the back of the phone reset it HOWEVER this is not something you should have to do all the time

Summary: Great phone with all the gadgets, very similar to IPHONE style but without the OVERPRICED ticket. BUT something needs to be done about this phone locking up... i don't know if it's the program or because it's such a new phone...

Love this thing!

Experience: 2 Weeks
Pros: Great battery life. No lag like with other touch screen "Smart" phones. Easy to use great volume and voice clarity.

Cons: Internet runs slow on here but not bad for a phone that is not a full blown "Smart" phone. Thumb pad could have better control over it. (Yes I have found settings for it.)

Summary: I love this phone. Gets good reception. Easy to hear people and fun to play with. Love that it plays MP4 files. My favorite part the accelerometer. Would highly recommend this phone.

So Many Glitches

Pros: full qwerty board, awesome display, unique user interface, excellent touch sensitivity, pretty good camera.

Cons: Cannot save images off the web, no copy and paste, T9 is a disaster to work with, does not save changed preferences.

Summary: When I add words to T9 and hit save it doesn't always save them, no matter how many times I do it. I also change the font color and it won't save that either. Also i found that when i open the slider it shuts off sometimes. It's also not that easy to mess with the widgets and navigate from one screen to the next.
