"Cooler than a polar bear in a refrigerator"

What I like:

packed with features from expensive phones in a VERY classy cool but understated looking, and GREAT VFM (£60) package

What I don't like:

Camera is ok, but not for serious photography. 2.5mm headphone jack means Hard to get non nokia headphones - only decent ones Sennheiser Cx300 2.5 or use adapters

Review:

The looks, for the black at least are refined, elegant and classy, without being flashy so very simple. Its very light, not that big at all really (mere MM bigger than much more expensive phones). It has lots of features - bluetooth, infa red, voice dialling, voice commands, good colour screen, very high quality MP3 player (you can now get up to 8GB memorycards so loads of tracks) with good headphones or via stereo line in, Radio, and a camera thats pretty good if there is reasonable light.
As you can get it for £50-60 on PAYG, its very over speced for the price, dead easy to use due to clear (and good sized but not too large) buttons, large screen, easy memory upgrade, Nokias easy to use menu's. Voice dialling great for hands free. It was nice to get a handfree headphone at all, so saying ti should have the stereo one is moaning (and nokia ones are rubbish headsets anyway like Ipod headsets etc, best to get some decent ones yourself rather than Nokia to charge extra for adding their own in).

The camera is good, if you are not looking for a phone specifically to take pictures, but as an added feature for the odd pic while out. The quality for this is ok, and if there is reasonable light pretty good, but it's sensor sturggles with noise where there is limited light, even in night mode, where it can even become oversensitive. A handy feature to have, but no substitute for taking a proper camera on holiday. but then NO phone camera is really.

Add in that you can surf the net quickly and easily, you can stream video and TV downloads, and even do you email on it (subject to service provider) by easily setting up POP's to download from your email account, then its all round fantastic vallue for money.

Sure there are phones that do the same things better, except maybe for the MP3 player which is really very good (with decent headphones), but they cost lots more, and add in sophisticated good looks, and you have a great buy. Highly recommended for a good allround phone at a great price with lots of features.
