To me the idea of a mobile phone needing a camera has always seemed like a streaker/stripper needing a changing room. It's a bit of a futile gesture. There is more to go wrong with the phone for a start. This coupled with the fact that the images are usually of very low quality. and the only thing you can do with them is send them to others, it's pointless.
Why don't people get digital cameras, which is my first problem with this phone. There are too many things to try and use on the phone and the menus are too vaguely named for example media. What is that supposed to mean, it could be anything. The phone is designed for the 3 network, but is currently slightly dodgy as the network can cut out at any time.
That said though the phone is quite useful considering it is the size of 2 nokia 3510's side by side at its smallest. It has a full keypad and predictive texting ability. The buttons are easy to use and are not so small that it is necessary to carry a drawing pin round with you. Nokia have to be the biggest committers of that particular crime.
The phone is nice to use and easy to carry. despite its size it is not particularly weighty, if it can be a pain to fit in you pocket. The speaker is very loud and so it is easy to have a good conversation. With downloadable games from the 3 network creating more fun, and things like calculators and currency converters this phone is practical as well as fun. If only it were not for the size.
Most of the functions are irrelevant off the 3 network such as video streaming. Personally i would wait until nokia brings out a smaller version of the phone on a better 3rd generation network, or wait until match of the day to check out the goals.
Overall it is a nice phone but is let down by the fact that most of what places it above pther phones will probably never be used by most the people who own it. If you want one wait until you can get the best from it.
