Good: The style is just amazing, and then it is wonderfull to use!

Bad: Nothing

Comment: This phone is amazing! It looks wonderful and even works wonderfully! It seems heavier than other phones in its class, but don't let that put you off, its not much more. There isn't a memory card slot which seems to annoy some people, but that doesn't bother me, seeing as there's just under 1GB already on the phone. when I was in the shop I thought it was a little overpriced, but when I got it home I realised it wasn't, the workman ship is outstanding, and beats all the other phones I've ever had-it is really robust and solid in your hand!
I bought it direct from o2 at £97.86, as it was the cheapest way. But shop around you may find it for cheeper.

Good: Looks, size, build quality, functions

Bad: Battery Life, no FM Radio, Charger

Comment: I "Upgraded" to this Phone from my brilliant 6300 & after 1 week, am still struggling to find out why it was an upgrade. Like the 6300, its beautiful to look at & beautifully made, however, unlike the 6300, it doesn't have an FM Radio, an expandable memory, or LED's that flash when you recieve a Text, or missed call. The Battery life is less than the 6300 & the Phone itself is slightly longer, although, slightly narrower & very slightly slimmer, so occupies the same space in your pocket. The Charger connects through a USB slot at the top, which is covered by a rather tacky rubber bung, which is sure to fall off before long. In fact, the only 2 things it has that the 6300 hasn't got, is a Camera Flash, which makes night Photos no better than "Night Mode" and 3G, but do people really use that....? In summary, if you wan t a great looking Phone that does everything most people would want, don't pay extra for this, get a 6300

Good: Size, Looks Classy, 1gb Memory, Easily Worked

Bad: Battery Life Could Be better, Smudges easily.

Comment: I love this phone. I bought it a week ago and cant seem to put it down. I think this is one of the nicest looking phones on the market right now, from the sleek shape, to the all black colour, its just my perfect phone.

Good: Feel

Bad: Utterly appalling battery life

Comment: The phone looks and feels good, and it has the usual excellent Nokia features.

But the battery life is worse than useless. I got 1.5 hours in Central London. Terrible if you're using your phone for work.

The rubber bung covering the connection slot is flimsy and given the amount of charging the phone will need I can see it falling off soon!

There are NO avaliable car chargers at this time.
