accessible-and affordable-for more users
new ways of thinking
new connections
and new industries
8700g has a help system accessible from the main menu
GPRS connection was suitably speedy in our tests
fine text is very readable in the default 13-line messaging mode

difficult to get used to the small keys that sometimes feel a bit loose
tight and crowded
Java support is still lacking in the 8700c's browser
Slow and technically tough patching
handset was thick and heavy
camera: The phone lacked a camera
Bluetooth files could not be exchanged with the only use being for a wireless headset
On-board memory was limited to 64MB
lack of a camera is an obvious shortcoming
some of its stock apps are a little rotten

Dearth of third-party applications
