"Easier, faster, funner"... poor effort. They couldn't even find a valid word for their tagline!

Didn't think much of the phone

I saw a few on display in a phone shop the other day. It's hard to gauge what they feel like since they were bolted to the wall but they looked pretty chunky. If that chunk is extra battery then great but if it's no better than any other device I think it's not doing itself any favours. The Windows Phone UI is quite slick but I don't think users of iOS or Android would find anything about it to write home about.
