Bought this camera for my wife as a surprise upgrade from her Motorola C139 - what a big mistake!While the Shine is very good looking, the metal casing makes the phone much more heavy (good thing for some)and thicker than shown on the ads.what is truly bad with this phone is the poor software which has several layers to get what you want. For example you can't get to your telephone directory list w/o doing a search for by name. On the C139, you simply press the "up" or "down" arrow, and you are taken directly to your directory list.mp3 player - while there is a built in one on this phone, there is few (if any) options to figure out playlists etc. moving songs to the SD card is also very cumbersome. Again, i blame this on the software.Lastly, the battery life is terrible. First, the charger is an international adaptor, and you need to be sure it's plugged in correctly to the socket as well as to the phone, often you could not tell if the phone was actually charging; you had to play around, press random buttons to be sure the charging sign was "on".Battery life is about 48 hours on an idle phone!!! much shorter if you actually use the darn thing. With the software being so bad, you usually use about "2 bars out of 5" just going thru the various menus to add contacts, or try to figure out "short cuts" for the software (about 10 min of use). Then you have to struggle with the charging aspect again....We really wanted to love this phone especially given its good looks and the price we paid for it +$200, but no love, can cure this dog...
