wow...at the rate manufacturers are pumping these things out, and the technological advancements being deployed almost every month, you will need a cheat sheet to remember all the damn functions and fingers the size of a six year old to use them. Just give me my plain ass cell with nothing special and I'm happy. Don't need an espresso maker built in, but maybe that WOULD be nice

I like Siemens phones, I had an S40 for quite a while, and had no major complaints about it
