I've had this phone for approx a year and it is still working briliantly. The battery life has not degraded as with other mobiles in the past, even with the amount of usage and charges it has had so far - and there's plenty more life left in it as yet! When using this phone it is very self explanatory and easy to navigate. The large screen helps to portray the excellent picture quality of the camera and the resolution of the screen itself. The camera on this phone is set at 5megapixels at the moment and this is more than adequate for the shots and photos supplied. Even when having these pictures developed, as with ordinary photographs, they come out with excellent quality. The higher the megapixel, the more memory each picture take up. This isn't too much of an issue however as there is an in-built memory capacity of 8gb, this is more than enough for the average user! As there is such a large memory on this phone, it therefore allows the user to keep literally hundreds of music and photo files on it. There are so many features on this phone, it's sometimes easy to forget them and not use this phone to the full capacity! There is even a pdf viewer on it, amongst many many other features, that is ideal for business users aswell. The large screen is very beneficial when surfing the internet as it allows for a greater volume of information to be shown on one page at once. This would also benefit emails as well, which would not be that diffifult to set up. The build quality of this mobile is excellent. Most mobiles currently on the market are made from plastic and such like materials, this phone is made from metal components which ensures that the build quality and robustness of it is phenominal. This is a very sturdy and well built phone and definitely stands the tolls of day to day wear and tear. Having said this, the phone is not a brick! It is made in such a way that is it hard wearing and light at the same time. The keybpad is also much better than similar size phones, i.e. the nokia n95 which has an incredibly small keypad in comparrison. It also has the same operating system / layout as the nokia n96 which may be of benefit to users of that interface.
Overall this is an excellent phone with brilliant features, especially the camera. The only slight downside to it is the fact that sometimes it can freeze and refuse to do anything, regardless of the buttons you press! This however isn't a major issue as you can either wait for it to respond (usually on 5 seconds maximum) or turn it off and then back on again. This is a good all rounder and I would certainly recommend it.
