A solid but not outstanding smart phone, the i320N is lacking in a few key specifications, most notably the lack of 3G support and slower Bluetooth and USB interfaces.

A solid offering purely as a phone and a handy answering machine application aren’t enough to make the Stealth appealing. Ultimately let down by a poor design, issues with text input and a rather moderate battery life.
