I've been using this phone for more than 1 year, changed to it from my old Motorola L6. Just wanted a phone that can play mp3 and this phone really suited my needs. With a normal phone dimention, quite thin actually, this phone can fit easily into the pocket and I do not feel uncomfortable with it. My brother has a Nokia N7 but he rarely put it inside his pocket because it's very thick.
The phone has a 480 x 320 display LCD that produces really good colour display. However, it is very blur when you useing under bright sun (have to use my hands to cover the screen so that I can see).
The slide design is really cool and te buttons under the screen allows really fast access to music player, changing songs, volume. There is not different between this handphone and a mp3 player.
The battery is not bad. I usually charge it every 2 days since I use as mp3 player quite often, but for normal use only, i think it will beable to last for at most 1 week.
The only thing I dont like is the button. They are to flat and hard for typing messages. I will take sometime to get used to it.
Overall, this is still a very good handphone for middle class consumers, who need a multipurpose device (mp3 player, game console, mobile phone).
