"A sleek and stylish phone that may not be to everyone's tastes..."

What I like:

Size, weight, stylish looks, without sacrificing functionality

What I don't like:

The fact that it doesn't have expandable memory, a 2mp camera a la D600 but nobody is perfect

Review:

I read a lot of user reviews before I decided to buy this phone (and i read the non-user reviews too which I took with a pinch of salt) and although some were less than complimentary, I'm my own person and CPW do a 14 day money back offer to it was a win-win situation!

Well I've had the phone now 2 days and I really can't fault it. Some of the points mentioned such as the phone always reverting back to multi-tap instead of t9 simply do not happen on my handset, it may be that mine is a later firmware? I dont know.

The buttons are excellent, very sturdy and ooze quality, the phone itself is just the right weight to feel expensive and you feel safe in the fact that you wont break it by holding it too hard! It's not made from cheap plastic and therefore feels the part - although having said that I havent dropped it yet so I dont know how hard it will be to scratch!

Inside the phone is some impressive features, one of the reviews however said the phone had a radio, that is not the case, but its straightforward, easy to use - you won't be disappointed.

Bottom line... if, like me, you want a nice, small stylish phone, you have a digital camera and an iPod for when the situation arises and you don't want to use your phone for storing too much data then you can't go wrong. That's not to say the camera isn't good by phone standards, it is, and the mp3 player is basic and easy to use and it sounds good; but its not an iPod, nor is it a camera.
