Advantages: Solid , Durable , Loadspeaker

Disadvantages: A bit big, no sound recordere

Ive had this phone now for about 3 months, it came the day it was released. Since i have had it i have been very impressed with how reliable it is. The battery lasts days and i thought that since it was a colour phone it would use up the battery a lot faster but it does not.
I have used the touch from time to time when trying to find keyholes and stuff at night but i have not really found a use for the sound meter or the thermometer. One thing that i feel i should pint out is if you use the software that you can get for it to create your own polyphonics ringtones out of midi files, be aware that when they are converted to the phone they tent to be very quite and dont really make very good ring tones because you can hardly hear them when the phone is ringing. saying that if you purchase ringtones or use the predefigned ones, they are fine.It also has a loudspeak function that not only can be used for calls but also the radio.
The only two bad points i can say about the phone are, the mms does not include sound or slide show features which is not the best if you have been sent a mms that someone has made animated.
the other bad point is the fact that it is a bit bigger than some of the other phones around. but overall id have to say i have been more happy with this phone than any other one i have had in the past 5 years.
