As soon as you unveil this phone, somebody's bound to shout "you've got an N-Gage!?". If you can cope with that, you're in for a treat. Nokia has designed arguably the ultimate phone for music lovers.

It is important to know that you do not have Infra-Red or Bluetooth, yet somehow that doesn't matter when you're recording directly off the inbuilt radio or skipping through a music playlist.

This phone take MMC's which come in all sorts of sizes. This means you can really have as many songs on the phone as you want (though I sometimes experienced problems adding more than 99!).

Now, its a phone. So what is the "phone" functionality like? Well, you'll have to adjust to having what looks like a sideways GameBoy on your face whenever you use it, but the design is so unique its hardly laughable when using it.

This phone has WAP and GPRS - no EDGE, which basically means some old school internet. The only real use for the internet on such a phone is sports scores and news anyway - and it does those things efforlessley.

It's not all plain sailing - the buttons feel sticky and slow to press, similarly the device is slow to react to button pressing. It's like popping bubble wrap without the fun noise. Also, there is no support of 3GP videos, there is no camera, and there is no method of computer synchronisation.

Still, if you no what you're buying, and want a music phone - this is the one for you.

Summary: no what your buying...and you'll love it!
