battery is crappy, from my experience, it crapped itself using the fido/rogers combination.. with telus it worked awrite.. didnt get a chance to bug bell mobility's network on it..
reception wise i will throw this in the same category as z600 of sony.e
if u bought this for the oohz and aahz.. well consider a heavy model like 66xx series of noki..
oh well .. let me know how u liked it.. (apart from the responses from friends) :-)
