Well my V3 boke a week ago so decided to buy a new phone, as i went to the shop the design of this one certainly caught my eye its a nice shape of a pebble. I liked the colour but this could be problem for guys although the vendor did say that there should be a black and a white one coming out soon.
The slider on it is brilliant it feels really sturdy not flimsy like some.
The phoe is really practical it has an mp3 player - but no headphone socket and you prbably wont be able to save much music on 64mb but its still something!The downside is that there isnt a headphone socket, I actually don't know how you use this feature, i'm guessing you need to buy some headphones from siemens The camera is pretty good 1.3 mp,theres a flash with it which is another bonus and by pressing 5 on the keypad it becomes a torch!!!!
The software on it is amazing, i mean theres a cocktail recipe book, some picture software, golf score card and best of all for chicks who like to travel - a survival dictionary!!That would have come in soo handy when I was in italy last month!!
You can also use the mp3's as ringtones which can save you from spending loads on that Jamster stuff.
As for downloading onto the phone you can buy a USB cable but I prefered to use a bluetooth dongle on my laptop - just press send a file- no software needed.
Anyways I've got to say this is pretty much the best phone I've ever had and it only cost me 69pounds, less than my V3.
