This phone is for people with a busy lifestyle, say you get up in the morning you take a jog before work you want to listen to music and not miss important calls then this phone seems ideal. It has all the features you expect from Nokia and a few extra.
Music player
Supports MP3 and WMA files which can be downloaded to the phone via bluetooth, internet on the phone or connected to your pc through USB. With a 1gb memory card microSD you can store up to 750 songs which is plenty to listen too while on the move. If your own songs get boring after a while there is an FM radio which supports visual radio too.
2.0 Megapixel camera
Me and cameras on phones don't mix if i wanted a camera i would buy one but this camera has good quality images. They can be stored on the phones memory or the microSD to be transfered at whim to mates or colleagues via bluetooth. The camera has a 4x Zoom, self timer, three advanced modes - still - burst - video and a night mode. Playback of video is through realplayer which allows for full screen too.
Operating System
The operating system is S60 ideal for downloading additional applications to the phones existing ones.
Personal Training
In sports mode the phone essentially becomes your personal trainer telling you how many steps you have taken, the number of calories burnt, distance travelled etc. You do however have to input some details of yourself to get a better accuracy ie: height, weight etc.
Text - to - Speech
This function can be used for personal training and to have text messages read out to you. It takes a bit to get used too.
Handset
The phone is rubber with a stainless steel casing making it very durable. The keys are small and can be quite annoying if you have large thumbs like i have. The screen is small compared to other S60 phones.
Other features
Flashlight - i rarely used this but i suppose can be useful for some people.
All in all this phone is light, durable and can help with training as with all Nokias the menu system is good and very easy to use. It has many features to keep you entertained while on the move or just sitting on the train to work.
