Explain star rating

RRP

Form Factor : Slide

What's Hot

Full QWERTY keyboard, Sleek and stylish but with an aura of sophistication in design, good voice quality, feature packed, O2 applications are useful

What's Not

Below average battery life, keyboard slider, some slowdown when switching between applications, 2.5mm headphone jack

The Final Word

The Zinc isn't faultless but is an option worth considering for anyone looking for a smart phone for plenty of emails. A good keyboard and plenty of features make this a solid, if not outstanding option.
