Sure ...

You can tell it has been designed as a PDA first and a phone last. For
example, when you forward a text message it adds the forwarding
information as if it were an email. The forwarding information alone is
more than the 160 characters allowed in a text message.

Of course, you don't know it is more than 160 characters because there
is no SMS counter. What if someone has two mobiles and you want to text
them? Sorry, you need two separate person entries in the phone book.

There is a good 3/4 a second delay from pressing the Answer button to
you being able to hear the caller. Totally unacceptable. Those are what
I can remember; it's been 6 months since I last used one.

If you own a latest Nokia or SE you will find the SPV pants.
