Advantages: Great screen, simple to use, lightweight.

Disadvantages: Battery life

The best thing about this phone is that it is a simple to use, no nonsence mobile which does the basic things well - and on top of that can be used for more advanced tasks and features.

Simplicity is the word I would associate with this phone. It has a nice simple menu - a familiar Nokia menu. Everything is quite straight forward and clear.

The screen on the phone is impressive. A big screen for a phone of its size, and the colours and quality are clear and vibrant.

The buttons are easy to use and give you good feedback when pressed. I am particulary impressed with the joypad, which while remaining easy to use and rather fast, is also very strong and has not shown any sign of weakness (unlike some other phones with joypads).

The features on the phone are similar to most Nokia's of this range. Everything from calendars and to-do notes, to music features and games. Everything is relatively simple to use and self explanatory.

The sound quality when on a call is pretty clear, and the volume turns up enough to easily hear.

My favourite part of the phone are the two lights on either side. These flash a blue colour when you have missed a call or received a text, and this is a great idea. It is much easier than having to check your phone every now and then to find out whether you have missed a call or a text, it instead flashes blue so you can tell!

The only disadvantage of this phone is the battery life. The battery life is pretty dire and would not suit someone who needs to make many calls and use many features at a time without getting to a charger.

Summary: A simple phone with good features.
