I have had this phone for around 14 months now. The buttons do not appear to be as sensitive as they once were... however I may just be getting lazier. I much prefered the previous models buttons... a satifying click when you pressed a button. The colour screen is good, but not very useful as most of the applications could be used in a monocrome screen. I have not bought the camera attachment as it is not something that I would be prepared to carry around with me. With the camera attachment the colour screen would obviously be useful. The applications are not particular useful, a nice gimmick though! The noise level and calorie calculator have been used only once or twice, the accuracy of the calorie counter is doubful. Apparently after two hours of canoeing I have burned a whole day's worth of calories. The phone is incredibly tricky to turn on, the spongy on button at the top requires a long thumb nail. The radio is good, although it is only FM. No Radio 5 live for me! Pitty now that the football is on. I would have preferred to be able to use my own headphones with the radio, the ones that are provided are a bit uncomfortable. The headset can also be used as a hands-free. Anyone thinking of buying this phone might want to wait a month or two for the next model to come out. It features a built in camera, something this camera begs to have. The phone is robust, although the screen is cracked. I'm almost certain I haven't dropped it hard enough to do that much damage, although prolonged pressure would probably make it crack. A replacement cover is rather steep at around 20 pounds.
