Quick review

The good
Fast and feature rich
The bad
Slow start up and the camera is less than snappy
Verdict
A bit slow to start up, but once you get going, this smartphone is easy to use, feature-rich and small enough not to ruin the line of your suit

  • Very nice, I'm very much looking forward to this device's release in the U.S. I've been waiting with bated breath for months and for it to be on the brink of being released is almost like a child awaiting Christmas' arrival. Posted by Drehood, USA
  • Got my 914c 3 days ago. Very good so far, screen a bit small but useable with a fingernail or the stylus. Good speed compared to my previous MDA Compact III. I've just installed CoPilot 7 on it but haven't used it in the car yet. Not too big or heavy. Just heard about problems with fire on charging Li-Ion Polymer batteries and I see HP issued a warning a couple of weeks ago. Should I be scared? Problem was apparently confined to model airplanes. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with the phone. Posted by Jim Simpson, Scotland
