What's Hot

HSDPA capable, sleek and stylish design, bright and clear displays, good sound quality and above average headphones, excellent hands-free speakerphone

What's Not

No memory card slot, below average camera, poor implementation of touch sensitive media controls, poor battery life

The Final Word

Although the U830's stylish design and solid features are a welcome addition to the HSDPA market, they are ultimately let down by very a poor battery life
