Nokia is the best of the best when it comes to phones, that is of course just my opinion, and you are entitled to yours.
Sleek, modern design complete with stainless steel cover; 2Mp camera with 8 x digital zoom; MMS; Video player and recording too.

The weight of this phone is 91 grammes, which is heavy for todays market, but there is something solid about this model, the weight actually helps to reassure you that you have a quality product.
The construction is of plastic of course, but also a lot of it is stainless steel, again making it durable to the point of being almost bullet proof.

The buttons are large enough, and just far enough apart to make it easy to use. The screen is one of the biggest you will find, very good for those of us with "close up vision problems".

As for the camera, there has to be a better way of marking this feature, we all know that the more mega pixels there are, the better the picture, however, this phone is only two mega pixels, and the pics are brilliant. I feel sure that one day there will be a different way of deciding the quality, and some camera phones are a lot better than other, no matter what amount of pixels they have. This camera phone has a 4 X zoom lens too, which was impressive. I musr admit that there are also features like "night mode" which I still have yet to get to grips with.

The FM radio function is very good, nice clear reception, but of course you require the earphones to be in use, as this acts as the aerial. Nokia has always been accused of not supplying enough memory, and some of their phones have no memory slot, I was pleased to find that this one does though.

The phone has bluetooth of course, and I have had no problems with it, although there is no infra-red for some reason, perhaps it is going out of date. This is a tri-band phone, so apparently god for any country.

The battery life is good for a modern phone, it depends of course on what settings you use and how much use it actually gets, charging is pretty quick too, so if in doubt you can stick it on charge for ten minutes and be confident it will not die on you. The battery is actually the same as a lot of other Nokias, so I can always swap to my old battery.

My phone is special, I know it and I like it, I am at the stage where I can use it without looking at the keyboard. I would recommend this sturdy little marvel to all.

That's brilliant to know! We just bought my (Polish) father in law one of these in Tesco for Christmas - only paid £65 for it - might just go back and buy myself one - my LG Shine is rubbish! Richard.

All my Nokias have been great, apart from the most recent one which died repeatedly and had to be sent to Finland for some R&R. xx
