We like:
Small size; easy to take shots using front screen; good sound output through headset; plenty of built-in memory
We don't like:
Poor sound output through handset speaker; speaker port and volume rocker too close together
You might also need:
Bluetooth headset, microSD cards
CNET UK judgement:
Small and pocket friendly, we felt drawn to the E770 the minute it came out of its box. The plentiful memory is welcome, and it's easy to use the camera and control music playback from the front screen. But don't get carried away by the idea of VibeTonz, though -- it is fun, but not a reason to ditch your current handset
Full review:
