Ratings

Build Quality: 88
• A sturdy, serious piece of hardware with firm button clicks and open/close action

Value: 83
• So many powers, yet not the most expensive phone out there

Features: 89
• A seemingly endless list of "can" and very little "can't"

Performance: 86
• Effortless play limited only by the quality of the signal, the file, or the game

Ergonomics: 93
• Squat shape a tad odd for talking, ironically, but conducive to everything else

Overall Rating: 87
If Buck Rogers were a gamer, this densely packed, fun-centric cell phone is surely the one he'd carry.
