Thanks for the great review! (Reply to this comment)

Thanks for providing such a great review... I was interested in the QD mostly for the smartphone functionality (though there's a few games coming out soon which interest me as well). Though, the one thing you didn't address was my big concern: how annoying is one-handed operation? On most smartphones you can enter data and work the UI with just one hand, but on the QD it seems like you have to use both hands due to the layout. Quite often when I'm entering data I'm also, say, holding onto the handrail on the subway to keep from falling over. :)

This phone is definitely a two-handed phone since the control pad is on the left-side and the input is on the right-side. You'll have a difficult time trying to operate the QD with one hand -- even the orientation of the phone works against single-handed operation.

From the material of your review.... (Reply to this comment)

...I would have thought you'd give it like 3 stars or so. You mention a decent amount of good points and a 1 star review implies that there's virtually nothing good about the N-gage QD when there's plenty of great things. I feel that you did a really great, in depth review, and I really enjoyed your opinion, but c'mon. 1 star??

Heehee.

Oh and I'm so sorry.... (Reply to this comment)

...but Tomb Raider didn't have graphical problems that were extremely noticeable or disliked at all. That game looks and plays amazingly. Same with Pandemonium. Those games look tremendous! The vertical screen has never seemed like a problem. It's just the style.

Not true. Due to the fact that the QD is quite a bit smaller than the original N-gage, I can use one hand when using it perfectly well.
