Just want to share the experiences I've had with various items.
As an avid buyer myself, I feel I know a bit about what reviews should contain - I hope my writing will tell you what you want to know before buying.
Thanks for checking me out!

I got this phone as a replacement for a Sony Ericsson K310i on which the joystick had failed, and overall I have to say I'm fairly impressed.
It's a very simple model with few bells and whistles that exists mainly to do its primary jobs of calling and texting (except for standard organiser, alarm, voice memo and currency convertor features).
Calling is no problem, with the slide mechanism a joy to use as a method of answering incoming calls saving you from any fumbling with soft keys. The speaker is nice and clear, although you will almost certainly have to turn up the initial ringtone sound in order to hear it from your pocket over any normal background buzz. Dual band it is of course, so you can't take this to America - something it's always worth bearing in mind.
Texting is fine, with lots of lines of text being displayed on the screen at once meaning you can get a good overall feel for the flow of your message. The T9 predictive system is slightly lacking in function though - it doesn't have the 'dictionary' feature that many other similar phones have, so you have to manually type in unusual words every time (unless this is a feature I simply can't work out!).
Another setting I can't find is how to make the phone vibrate when receiving text messages, something many people might find important if they text a lot in busy places where they can't hear the small 'ding' sound of an incoming text.
The rest of the features work just as described, although the lack of a specific timed reminder feature on the to-do list is something I miss after using the Sony Ericsson model for so long.
Overall, a great little phone for such a small price - pretty good looking and perfectly functional, with just a few small niggles to complain about.
