Advantages: Great Screen, 3g Service, Video Calling

Disadvantages: Battery, Tones U get With Phone, Battery

I never thought i would be able to get a 3g phone. I have tried for loads or things on credit...all been refused thanks to a cock-up at Singlepoint where they said i never paid where i did. But i thought i might as well try for a phone on 3....the worst that could happen is they say no....BUT i GOT PASSED!!.

Anyway about the phone.....

One of the best i have ever had and belive me i have had LOTS (over 100 cause i deal in them buying and sellin etc..).

---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- ----------------

Battery:

This is really the ONLY bad point of this phone. But thats why you get 2 batterys and 2 chargers (only stupid thing is u have to charge it in the phone so u can only charge 1 at a time...UNLESS u want to buy the Desktop Charger unit where u can put a battery in it and plug ur spare charger into it allowing u to charge 2 at once. Also i have sorted my battery problem out. 3 have released an Extended Battery that has nearly 4 times more life in it.

Video's:

3's video service CANT be beaten. Nokia tried getting the video scene started with uts 3650 but that never took off. Only other phone to offer videos as good as the NEC 606 is the new Sharp GX20 BUT that only has 2mb memory!!!!. The stuff u can download on the NEC 606 is totally amazing!. My faves are the Footie Highlights + Angry Kid stuff. People have said the quality is not that good? what do they expect then can i ask.... its not a TV...its a mobile phone!!! and being able to watch clips on it is a great step up. Also u get a data-cable witht he phone so i can make ur own MP4 files. I have downloaded an episosde of The Simpsons and converted it to 2 MP4 files so i can watch that..how amazing is that... to be able to watch tv stuff on ur phone!!.

Audio:

The polyphonic tones u get with the phone are pretty crap to be honest...but u can upload ur own via the cable
for FREE. it uses 16bit MIDI tones like the Sharp GX10i does so great quality!!.

Screen:

Well i love the screen. 65k....what else could u want. Looks amazing. Cant say much about a screen though cause lots of phones have 65k screens now.

Camrea:

Not the best of cameras which is quite dissapointing. BUT then again if u want a top camera GO BUY A DIGI CAM!!. Mobile Phone Cams are supposed to be there to let other people see stuff rather than boring text, there not meant to be a camcorder or nething. The good thing on this phone is u get 2 cams. Also with this phone u can take Video Clips.... great idea even though 12 secs is the limit per clip.

3g Services:

Cant be beaten...and i thought Vodafone Live was good!. this is 10x better. Video Downloads (not little clips but large stuff), Tones, Pics, Weather info, News and for the young excited male Top-Shelf stuff from Playboy (good selling point even though its £2.50 for only 2mins..not that i have tried or anything...yet....lol).

Video Calling::

3's MAIN selling point. Not only can u make normal voice calls but if u know someone else with a 3g phone (apart from Moto A830) u can actually SEE them too. NOTHING can beat this for technology...its wicked.

Phone Size:

Not that big really. Ok its bigger than any other normal flip phone but then just think what ur getting in 1 case....2 camreas, a camcorder, 3g service, + much more. I am used to mine now anyway.

Price Plan:

Depending on how much u use ur phone depends on how much u can save. I pay £35 a month and get:

750 mins to ANYWHERE in UK (Mobiles inclused)
50 SMS Free
£20 downloads free)
Free Insurance

Thats a great deal...Especially as the phone cost me NOTHING!!
