What's Hot

Stylish design, reasonable build quality, HSDPA-capable

What's Not

Poor implementation of touch controls, no real new features, slider doesn’t feel as firm as it should, poor tactility of keypad

The Final Word

The idea behind the F330 is commendable, but its implementation is less than successful. Users will quickly be frustrated by the poor design of the touch-sensitive controls.
