Ill start of telling you about the phone's looks... the one i have is black but I beleive you can buy it in metalic silver or white aswel even though I have never seen them myself. The phone is moderatley small approximatley 11.5cm when fully open and 8.5cm when shut.

This phone was released in 2005, and in my opinion, it was released to late, after the very popular d500. The D500 a slightly larger, and when first released much more expensive phone, is a phone of much higher quality than the e350.

In December 2005 I was given the phone as a christmas gift, at first I was very pleased! The screen which is 128 x 160 pixels was very bright and clear, much better than my previous phone (Samsung x600). It was not until a few months later when I had got used to using this phone that I started to not like it very much...

THE CAMERA
Yes, it does have a camera. VGA camera (640 x 480 pixels) with flash and digital zoom (x4) & effects. Alot of people seem to not be aware of the flah on this phone, whilst you are taking a picture press the "0" button on the keypad and the flash will turn on which is loacated next to the camera. I am not to pleased with the camera quality, pictures are not very clear, sometimes you can barely make out what the pictures are. Taking videos is not too bad, although on occasions the sound and picture do not match, the seem to be unsynchronized. I think the camera is relatively poor quality.

MP3
The phone has a total of 40 MB, which I was suprised to find out as I do not have mny pictures or videos, yet I cannot upload much more than 4 songs. If you are looking to buy a phone which you will want to regulaly use for music this is not the phone for you. The phone comes with a nice pair of grey/silver headphones, they're not very loud, an would be much better if they had a skip and volume button on them, so that if your phone was in your pocket you would not have to get it out to change the song/volume.You can play MP3/AAC.

BATTERY
I cannot rely on my phone to hold its battery. Especially when I use the MP3 player, the phone could be fully charged and only last 40 35 mintutes when on MP3 player. I think the battery is very poor, it also does not last at all long when you are on the phone talking to someone.

CONNECTIVITY
I remember reading before i recieved that phone, that it comes with a USB cable to connect to the computer to transfer files such as MP3's or photos, however this is NOT true! I had to purchase an infrared port for my computer and use this to connect to my phone, it is very slow, it takes almost 30 minutes to transfer a song of roughly 2MB. The phone would be sooo much better if it had bluetooth, I think all phones of this day and age should have bluetooth.

OTHER INFORMATION
.............................................
It weighs appromximatly 75g.
.............................................
It has 40 polyphonic ringtones, however you can download more, or use MP3's as your ringtone.
..............................................................
It has a few different colourful wallapers, you ca download others, or use your own photos.
...............................................................
A good feature of the phone is that you can have a photo as the caller ID information.
...........................................................
It has handy application such as, voice recorder,world time, Alarm, Calculator, Converter (currency weight etc), timer and stopwatch.
.........................................................
It has SMS MMS and E-mail, however i dont think anyone ever uses the email as i have read in many reviews that people cannot work it.

To conclude i would not reccomend buying this phone, its lacks quality, many people do compare it to the d500 and if your stuck between the to go for the d500 its much better, my sister has that phone its alot better than this one! anyways good luck in finding the right phone for you
