Advantages: good music station, memory storage, bluetooth stereo,battery

Disadvantages: slider, slow bluethooth, no data cable package, bad display, bad video codecs

Well at a first instance you might be having a view that the phone is a good one with lot of features at 5500INR but its not as per my experience.
The camera is VGA which i think at this price should have been at least 1.3 MP.
Next the slider is troublesome as when the phone gets few months old the slider gets stuck and speaker connection behind the back cover gets loose. So the speaker do not function when this phenomena happens. Sad..!The blue tooth stereo is there but let me tell you one thing it is version 1.1 the older one that sucks in speed and reliability. Good thing is that the looks are trendy as it is a music edition with memory support. You can add up to 2 GB of external memory.
The video playback codecs are not good either. The pack doesn't come with a data cable which i think should be there. And finally its not a good buy as for about 5000INR you can get an LG dynamite with all the features that i am talking in this review.
