This is a lovely slim and incredibly light phone that caught my eye in the shop after christmas. I have previously had the Nokia 3310 and 3320 so this was new ground for me.
The reason I bought this phone was the price (£70 on pay as you go) and, I admit it, it was the best looking one on the shelf...
I have never seen a phone that slim(17mm) and light (76g) which is probably why I can't seem to find it fast enough in my hand bag when I need it!!!
The display is a good size and very easy to read. The keys are good size too. I also like that you can set the key pad to lock automatically after a pre-set time. It has all the other features I know from my old phones like calendar, alarm, calculator, to do list etc.
The phone has got 65,536 display colours and very good ringing /messages / alert tones. There are 3 games on mine as well but I never use them to be honest. I have also downloaded ringing tones straight away through the wap facility which is easy to use.
Texting isn't as good as on the Nokia, it is difficult to get used to and the phone doesn't remember words once typed in manually. The dictionary is excellent though.
The only downside I find is the low batterly life. I have to charge the phone every 3 days. It is also a shame that you can't download wall papers even though the selection on the phone is pretty good anyway.
All in all, I can recommend it to everybody.
