Terrific physical keyboard; good 3G speeds while testing in the Dallas area; good camera quality
Outdated version of Android; small display is uncomfortable at times; sluggish performance especially when using multiple apps and when web browsing; terrible battery life with the unit I was testing (could be a defective battery)

Sturdily built and appealing to the eyes, AT&T's Samsung DoubleTime has a refreshing design with two screens, a comfortable QWERTY keyboard, and a flip-open design. Call quality was good
The DoubleTime's biggest problem is that it runs Android 2.2 Froyo instead of the more current Gingerbread. Its more petite touch screen and pink accent colors won't appeal to everyone, and the camera quality is middling. You can only access the microSD b
