Well then, I've had this phone for a while now. Got it free on three 750.
I'll presume you are reading this review to find out more about the phone on three network.
I could go on and on but I am going to try and cut to the chase. The phone will roam to 02 when losing coverage, this causes the dropouts. On three the service is ok. On earlier models you get no bluetooth infra-red but can lock the phone to 02 network, making much better imo. Or later firmware gives bluetooth support but manual network locks are not allowed. So it always jumps back to the three network. If, your a business person who moves around then don't go three.
If you can over the initial embarassment of carrying a brick then attaching it to your head its not bad. I think, you really need to be a geek at heart to appreciate it. TBH, after you've faffed about with the different games, software you can get for the phone it is a big brick and annoying wo carry. Dont get me wrong, I do still love it, it makes other non symbian OS phones look prehistoric and basic. But it is simply too big. The battery life is also crap, even tho they do give you two batteries. After tweaking I can get couple days standby if it is not used, and a day with normal usage. BTW, the internet side is locked to three's portal only.
If you don't need it for a specific function now, ie read pdfs,etc (you need 3rd party software) then skip it. It is old hat now, and smarter nicer looking phones are coming onto the market. btw the a925 is same phone in a different package to get over the looks, pffft its still an ugly duckling.
Check out these great websites (esp forums) for it www.uk-net.org , www.aussie3g.net. Took me hours of hunting to find them, so enjoy :)
