Purchasing this mobile I dont regret but I had a setback after I bought it as the messages wouldn't send. I was thinking of changing it but I'm glad I didn't as I just changed some factory numbers and its working. Its my first mobile and I was unsure of how to set it all up but the phone came with a large manual and you can set it up online. Online it is so simple you just follow instructions and fill in any details necessary and you receive an update on your phone. It comes in a text message format so you just read it then delete it then its updated. I was anxious to use my phone but I had to charge it up for 16 hours which seemed to last ages.

I was attracted to the phone by its stylish look, it has a great black and gold cover and not the flowery cover shown on the picture so it looks great. It is not the smallest phone on the market but it isnt big either. Its quite light and it does look good and has a good shape. I took into consideration its service, how easy it is to navigate and obviously the games. If I've got nothing else to do I will play on the games. TETRIS, PACMAN and ERIX. You all know tetris and pacman but erix is a game where you have to fill in a percentage of the screen by filling boxes. You are called a pen and you draw a line wherever you travel but there are moving obstacles you have to dodge. If the obstacles hit youre line you lose 1 out of 3 lives if you join your line you make a box which will fill an area. Achieve a certain amount of area percentage and you will advance to the next level.

Everything you need to know is all under a large menu, there are essential things under the menu which come in handy.
PROFILES- whith profiles you can configure your ring volume and tone for different situations. You can select a quiet ring tone for a meeting so you save yourself from those embarrassing moments.
HOUSE- if your in your house your phone might be upstairs so you have a loud ring tone so you can hear it.
There a
re others for in the car, outside and for hands free.

I was a little dissapointed with the ring tones as there wheren't much choice to choose from and its not as if you can download them off the internet, there doesn't seem to be any way of downloading tones off the internet for the eriksson phone. Dont worry though as there is a composer so if you want to spend your time making youre own tone then you can do. I can't create my own tones though but luckily I like one of the tones already on the phone.

You can also make shortcuts to save time looking through the menu. You can program it to load up one of youre games by holding down one of the keys. This can come in handy if you ring someone regularly and you dont want to look for ages down the number list which holds up to 99 numbers.

I do love this phone even whith the early scare, and I can if I want change the phone cover. As I always like a different look to my phone. Overall its a great phone which I strongly recommend as it is a solid phone.
