Advantages: Very good sound reproduction, always set up ready for use. Disadvantages: Needs an external anrenna, plus fitting. Dated nowadays.
, (as are the phones is it made for) but the principle is brilliant, you have a phone holder that gives genuine handsfree operation, with sound that is virtually as good as a radio. Your own voice is picked up and transmitted with the same clarity. The holder itself is very good, if a little large by modern standards, it holds the phone safely and securely, whilst recharging the phone battery. There is no vibration, and the phone will not fly out of the holder at level crossings.
I do realise that a lot of bluetooth headsets are replacing this type of kit nowadays, and they are very clear, but these kits do have their merits. The speaker is mounted wherever you want it, and so the sound comes equally to both ears, unlike the bluetooth that goes in one ear only.
The microphone is equally good, being able to pick up sound of very good ...
Advantages: Nice and easy to sue Disadvantages: not comfartable to wear
i have used this handsfree kit and i actually found it was nice looking and it was also an easy thing to use, but the problem i had was that it wasnt very comfartable to wear.

It is light weight and easy to carry and also stays in the ear and dosnt slip out like some handsfree kit do. Over all i do like this product and i do use it as it is good value for money and stays in the ear and dosn't slip out. I would still recommend this product as it is a nice and cheap handsfree. ...

this mistake and it slowed down my phone to the point where it was near impossible to use. Overall I am impressed with the ability to save all these texts and how fast I can send them with the keyboard.
Music Player - Another one of the phones highlights, with the 32gb internal memory you can't go wrong when it comes to music. I use it as a substitute to my iPod, I can store just as many songs on the phone and upload them from my computer just as easy as I would with my iPod. Along with the Nokia music store where you can download songs from thousands of artists, which is basically iTunes but ran by Nokia themselves. There is a widget which you can download from the Ovi Store free of charge that allows you to operate the music player from your homescreen. The 3.5mm headphone jack and outer volume controls make this one of my favourite ...
