Good: Good camera (& flash), alarm, calender, texting....

Bad: Battery life (even after switching to 2G) and it keeps freezing and turning off suddenly which makes it really unrelliable!!!!!

Comment: Had this phone for over a year now and can't wait to dispose of it !!!! Unfortunately gotta wait for contract to end in 10 months time !!! It's really getting on my nerves....I've already changed the battery once but the power still runs out quick...this phone is full of software glitches and really not worth getting at all !!!
I only use it for calls & texts (and calender) and have taken all other precautions to preserve battery power but it's still crap! Do not get this phone ever cos it'll let you down.....

Good: The camera and media functions are great

Bad: Buggy, has crashed twice in the first 24 hours, poor build quality

Comment: This phone has plenty of functions. If like me you want to avoid the touch screen frenzy that is going on right now, then this is a good option. It has brilliant media functions including BBC iPlayer.

It is however full of bugs and sometimes crashes completely so I have to take the battery out or freezes for 30 seconds. The Ovi store is also rubbish.

In terms of build quality I don't think it is giong to be too long before the paint starts to come off, which always seems to happen with Nokias after a few months.

Overall I would recommend this handset but just don't expect the flimsy build quality to last very long!

Good: The quality feel, its well weighted and the slider is like a good german car.

Bad: Nothing

Comment: The phone is a very well balanced mobile; it feels of quality there any many features that make it a worthwhile purchase if you don't want a fad touch screen phone:
 lots of options to customise the phone as you want
 8gb memory - excellent
 the screen is brilliant
 battery life is also very good
 Camera is also excellent
A top phone, works really well, delighted with this phone, you will be if you want a no nonsense phone which works as it should out the box
