Pros: partial touch screen,QWERTY keys, you can use speakerphone with the phone open and closed,the slide, dedicated messing key, dedicated aim/voice/email key, some ringtones and wallpapers are really neat,different ways to set shortcuts, fun frames for pics,way to shorten vids, set up menu to use what you want to use. My only thing to "warn" you about is i recently was lying down and when i picked up my phone the screen hit the edge of the drawer and inside it cracked. So not a con but u may want to invest in a CASE not cover but a CASE. So i dont have any cons thats just the only thing i would have to tell you. I bought a case and my phone doesnt come out unless i text or call.
