Last Christmas my girlfriend picked up one of these phones for me, i used to have a nokia that didnt ring so i was quite pleased when i found this phone in my stocking. So its been about 4 months since Christmas and the phone is still working well although ive dropped it a few times and the dog got hold of it once so there are a few dodgy marks left on it.
So what does this phone look like and feel like? Its a nice slim design and feels good to handle, there really light weight and mine was silver (i don’t know if they all come this colour). Although the phone is a little bit longer than some phones on the market it still looks very appealing and 'flash' it does have a modern look to it.
There is a colour lcd display screen that is of a reasonable size, the background on the phones screen can also be animated and looks of really good quality. I have a frog that moves its head up and down on my background, haha. This baby has an infrared transmitter and a little neat hole in the side where you can plug a hands free in. The battery case also pops strait off, unlike those old phones where you take the back case off then fiddle round getting the battery out.(what a pain)
The phone has the following features also included:
Games, WAP browser, SMS messaging, Call records, 30 Polyphonic ring tones, Greeting message, Wallpaper view, Calendar, To do list, Time & Date, Alarm, Calculator and guess what.... a currency exchange !
The games on this phone are pretty entertaining but do soon become boring like many java based phone games. The games you get are 'The hamster game' where you are a little hamster in a box that has to block of flying bugs of some kind. There are loads of levels on this game but i must say it isnt the best one ive played. My favouret used to be snake. The other game you get is 'Honey ball' which im sorry to say i never played so i wont comment on it. You can also download additional games on the WAP browser to play if you want more.
The phone memory can hold up to 500 names and numbers and lets you organize the numbers in to folders for office, home or mobile. Of course if you have more than 500 friends you will be able to store more on your sim card. My sim card is virgin and i use that on this phone as it has free voice mail ! whoopee.
Overall i am pleased with this phone although i have an eye for those little flippy phones, so if they wanted to make it better for me they could put a flip on the front of it. Other wise a pretty cool phone.
My misses paid around £70 for it and this included £5 credit, charger and sim card.
