I was actually quite impressed with this phone it looks sleek with its metaclic fiish and hidden keyboard. The keyboard is not individual buttons so findng the correct ones by feel while doing other things is impossible. Since by feel there is no distinct keys. But I did like the slidng mechansim itself it feels strong like it will last not like some I have felt proving that it is a quality built phone. Many American carriers have carried this phone since Oct of 2007 but with some carriers it is known as the A737 the different numbers for the different carriers only.

The newest bluetooth unit from the Blueant lineup. The z9. Fits comfortable with a great noise cancellation feature. But the best part of this unit is the BlueGenie voice user interface. The user can talk to the interface ask “how much battery is left?” or “answer” to pick up an incoming call. The ultimate in hands free. No buttons to push just total hands free! Removeable ear hook and included car and a/c charger.

The National Post reported recently http://www.nationalpost.com/Story.html?id=238246 that it is only a matter of time before Telus moves to GSM. I tend to agree with him but I can see a lot of people being unhappy. It was not an easy tansition from tdma to gsm about 10 years ago. There was a transition period where people could use either thier old tdma (digital) phones or thier gsm but eventually thier old ntwork has been phased out. But in the long run it was a good thing becasue Rogers customers can now use thier phone almost anywhere. Before the change Rogers customers could not use thier phone when travelling abroad. GSM is the world standard and it is about time everyone caught up. The cdma technology Telus uses now is even less available then tdma ever was so in the end I think Telus customers will enjoy the change after the initial growing pains. http://northcentralcommunications.ca

A music and media phone the Katana Dlx is a great little phone. Especially for media purposes. However the case does have a cheap feel to it which is a downer. The clear lcd is a treat, with instant access to text, music and video right from the home screen. Easy syncing with a pc allows you to put your favorite tunes from your computer to your phone and always carry your tunes.
