Advantages: Looks good and is nice to hold

Disadvantages: Low battery life

I swapped to this handset from my old one during a contract swap. Its a nice looking phone that has a nice, balanced weight to it and the steel battery cover is quite nice to hold. The screen on this handset is very nice to look at, everything is displayed very clearly and quite large. The main screen has a very useful customizable feature where you can add or remove "bars", i use the calendar and a shortcuts car (which allows me to goto my inbox or create new messages without navigating the menu system). The menu system itself is also very clear and easy to use.

The keys on the phone however are not the easiest to use, they aren't a bad size but are very close together and i tend to find that if i haven't had my nails cut recently then they fall between the gaps in the keys, making writing texts very frustrating!

The software the phone comes with is somewhat excellent, it makes life very easy in that you can syncronise your phone with the software very easily. I have also managed to find hordes of free games on the internet, which are really easy to install. Along with the games there seems to be no end of applications you can get for this phone. The phone also allows you to run it in external hdd mode, whereby you can just drag and drop new files directly onto the phone using explorer.

In terms of features and the such I must say that I have not tried the packaged earphones and mic due to the daunting size of the earbuds, they are truely massive!

The camera is also quite grainy and I tend not to use it due to the low quality pictures I seem to get, especially in night mode.

What lets this phone down for me is the battery life, which is somewhat poor, it usually lasts me about 2-3 days.

Summary: A quite nice phone let down slightly by poor battery life
