MENU
-----
1:PHONE BOOK-the phone book is where you store all phone numbers in. The options here are search, where you type in a letter and then all the numbers beginning with that letter come up (e.g T-thomas,tracey). Add name is quite obvious, this is where you add people into your phone book. Erase, this is where if you don't want a number anymore you erase it. Edit, this is where if you have made a mistake, you change it with this option. Assign tone, this option is for anyone that wants all the people in their phone book to have a specific ring so they know who is calling, I just put it on default which means the ringtone you choose will work for them all. Send b'card is send business card, if you want anyone to know your number or anyone else's you send this. If you go to options you can change the way your phone book is set out, you have the choices, name list, name, number, large font. If you go to memory status, you can see how many spaces have been taken up and how many are left for phone numbers. There is another option speed dials, this means if you're in a hurry save a number you want onto a number key, like 1 or 2 etc. then you just press 2 if you want to phone that person you saved there, it's easier to use. Voice tags are when you say the persons name in the phone book, (e.g sarah) you say that name and then when you want to call them just press the key and say sarah and it will call them. Info numbers has the numbers for traffic and travel, leisure, financial and help, also services.

2:MESSAGES-this section is for text messages it has the options to write messages, this has all different icons and symbols to write with. There is your inbox where all received text messages are kept. Your outbox is for all messages that couldn't be sent. Picture messages these are good there are 14 stored into your phone which you can send people. You get templates which are messages already written that you can send if you can
't be bothered to write, they are usual messages like 'please call'. There is a smiley face option too which you can attach the smileys to text messages. The other 2 options are message settings and voicemail number, this number is what you call up when you have a new voice message, it's just the same as an answering mahine but on your mobile, I think it's great. The last option is service command editor.

3:CHAT-This is where you pick a friend and have a chat name and then send them a message and they reply.

4:CALL REGISTER-Missed calls, this option only works if you miss a call when your phone is on. Received calls, this is all the calls you have received and not missed. Dialled numbers, this is the last 20 numbers you have dialled. Erase recent call lists, this is if you want to delete your received, dialled or missed call lists. Show call duration, this is your last call duration, all calls' duration, recieved calls' duration, and dialled calls' duration, there is an option where you can clear the timers. Prepaid drecit, this is to tell you how much credit you have.

5:TONES-ringing tone, this is where you look through your tones list and choose the one you want to ring when someone calls. Ringing volume this is how loud you want your ring to be. Incoming call alert, this is what you wnat to happen when someone rings, you can either choose ringing, ascending, ring once, beep once, or off. Composer, this is where you can make up your own ringtones, also you can download tones from the internet onto your phone. Message alert tone, there are 5 optinos you can have, standard, special or beep once. There is the option keypad tones and warning tones. You can have vibrating alerts this is when your phone moves when it rings. Screensaver is another option.

6:SETTINGS-Call settings, this is where you put things like speed dialling on or off. You can have call waiting and automatic redial on or off. Phon
e settings, this is for changing the language and putting on a welcome note. You can change security settings like access codes and pin code request.

7:CALL DIVERT-this is just about diverting calls and things like that.

8:GAMES-This is my favourite part of my phone. There is snake 2, this is the follow up to snake but it's better you can change the mazes and the level to suit your standard. Space Impact is a sort of computer game thing, with things coming near you which you have to shoot. Bantumi is a sort of gambling game and pairs 2 is a game of pairs. In the settings you can put sound on or off and shakes and lights. You get high scores for them all which is good, I like the noise when you get a new high score.

9:CALCULATOR-This is obviously for adding subtracting and multiplying things, just getting answers to sums.

10:REMINDERS-this is to write things you want remembered, incase you forget.

11:CLOCK-you can get your alarm clock, which is good , clock settings to change the time if it's wrong or if it needs to be put back and hour or forward. You can have date settings and a stopwatch and countdown timer, quite a lot for a phone.

12:PROFILES-this is to change your phone from incoming calls and messages being silent, discreet, loud or general, I use general.

I think after all that, it shows this is a brilliant phone, it has everything on it so what more would you want, I haven't regretted buying it.

This phone is differently priced depending if you're getting pay as u go or monthly line rental phone. I like the new Nokia models because you don't have to worry about your phone being the same as anyone else's with different Fascia's
