When your device runs Windows Mobile, a soft-reset button that's easily accessible IS a requirement. No, the Power button won't do when the device hard-locks.

I'm very sad to see mobile phone manufacturers continuing to use the Windows Mobile platform. When your PHONE needs to be occasionally rebooted, you need to reconsider its operating system. Phones are mission-critical devices. If you don't believe me, think about having to reboot your phone to call emergency services or not receiving calls because your phone's OS has silently crashed, causing you to miss a call with a job offer.

That being said, the Opera 9 browser is exceptional... but it ain't free. Why doesn't Samsung provide Opera 9 or another browser by default? Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile borders on unusable. The iPhone's strength is its built-in web browser, Safari. It's stable, fast, and renders pages accurately. (No, I don't own an iPhone. I like SonyEricsson products personally.)
