Advantages: sleek design, loads of features, bluetooth

Disadvantages: terrible keypad!, talk time

This phone is great! It fits in a pocket easily, and the ergonomic design ensures that it. The menu is user friendly. The handset weighs just 130g .

The build quality of the mobile is great. There is a real feel of quality about it.

The built in camera (640x480) was a breeze to use, and taking movies and pictures was child's play. With the added benefit of sound on the movies, one can't really go wrong. With 3.4MB space, ther is bags of room for multimedia.

Text messaging was horrible as the keys are layed out in the most ridiculous way ever. The circular keys may be sylish, but they area real pain!!! The abilty to use MMS (Multi Media Messaging) is another massive bonus.

The large bright colour screen made the phone even easier to see, and the Symbian operating system is fast and efficient. The phone can handle Java, making downloading games etc. a piece of cake.

The phone also features Bluetooth which is incredibly handy for laptop users, and those wanting to use wireless Bluetooth headsets. Infra Red is also present.

There are several fun games, and of course WAP 1.2.1. This arrives over GSM, HSCSD or GPRS.

The phone is dual band, capable of high speed data transfer and features voice dialing.

Sadly, (probably due to the big screen) you only get 2-4 hours talk time, and 150 - 200 hours standby time which is pretty poor in relation to other models. The 7650 also has this problem. I have found however, that this makes little difference, as you can put the phone to charge every night.

The phone is very similar to the 7650 (hence the similar review!), but is probably more aimed at younger people. The keypad is a pain, but those with perseverence will surely master it. I think that I would recommend this over the 7650, as it has a neater design, but it is certainly a close call.
