Pros:

Attractive design. Comfortable keyboard. Clear voice calls. Loud speakerphone. Plenty of green cred.
The Samsung Restore is made out of recyclable materials, has a solid slider design, and includes features such as a 2.0-megapixel camera, a music player, a 3.5mm headset jack, and EV-DO Rev. 0.

Cons:

Poor reception. Hard-to-use trackpad. MicroSD card slot is underneath the battery cover. Balky, poor-sounding music player app.
The Samsung Restore's camera doesn't take very good pictures and its call quality needs to be improved.
