I have used and tried lots of mobile phones, and to be honest I must say that this phone is a little dynamo. It looks really nice, especially in this Limited Edition Baby Pink colour; It is really smooth to the touch and can be carried with ease. It feels really nice in the hand, and everything on it is easily accessable.

The display is large and easy to see, which is good for texting and viewing photos. The texting on this phone is easy to do, and you soon get the feel for it; unlike some phones that leave you in a muddle, maybe wondering whether or not is would have been easy just to speak to the recipetent in person, rather than go through the hassle of trying to use the text messaging facility.

The keyboard layout is perfect, and as all the keys are either directly next to or underneath each other it makes texting and dialling a breeze. Some phones have weird keyboard layouts, that may look nice, but take a while to get the hang of. No problems here with this phone, the keypad is one of the best I have seen.
As well as looking good, this phone as a number of features, which are all easy to use, bearing in mind you have a basic knowledge of using mobile phones that is. You can change the way the screen display looks; whether or not you would like your favourite picture on it, or something that you have downloaded using its wap feature, it can all easily be changed at the touch of a few buttons. Even the way you use your phone can be changed. i.e. you may wish that you could access your messages with a touch of a button, instead of accessing them through menus etc. You can access your messages instantly from your diplay screen if you choose, or maybe you would like to access your camera from the display. The list is endless, and all can be done with this little phone. The phone also has a little button at the side, which can also be customised for your own personal choice.

The Java games are also good on this phone. They can be downloaded with ease, once you are set up for Wap. The setting for wap can easily be sent to your phone, so even that is straight forward too.

The camera is also easy to use; although it may not be quite as brilliant a camera as some other phones boast, but it is more than acceptable, and takes good snaps. You can zoom in using the camera; you can alter the brightness etc.

The phone also comes with the familiar Motomixer, which is great for mixing your own tunes. It also comes with some nice ringtones of its own, and many can be downloaded to the phone, and the phone has a good sound. It may not be the loudest of phones I have owned, but *touch wood* I have not missed a call with it when I have had it on my person yet. So it must be pretty loud. The sound of the phone is quality too.

The phone also comes with voice dialling, but the drawback is, it only lets you allocate about 4 and that is it, so I think that may be a memory capacity let down. However is that really why you want to buy the phone? I think not, so it shouldn't really be a problem.

The phone for me is really perfect in almost everyway, but I am dissapointed that it only lets you play videos that are either on the phone or downloaded or received from other phones etc. and does not have video capture; so you can not record your own video.
Apart from this is is a good phone, sounds great, looks great, feels great, and is reasonably priced.
