Advantages: Very lightweight for its size

Disadvantages: Poor battery life

I have had this phone for some eighteen months now and can find very little to fault with it; certainly one of the best phones that I have owned. Lots of phones out there do the same things a lot better, but for a simple, inexpensive, easy to use and not all that unattractive phone then you really can't go wrong with this Nokia. The phone itself is very thin and lightweight - it took me ages to get used to the feel of the phone in my pocket, having previously owned a somewhat heftier Sony Ericsson, and suddenly it felt like I was missing something when I'd be heading out! But it's still a decent enough size to fit a rather large screen, and the buttons are small enough even for the less nimble of thumbs to touch with accuracy.

The phone menus are the Nokia standard and therefore very easy to navigate, whilst providing the expected level of depth of settings to be able to customise the phone suiting to your own needs.
The camera attachment gives a relatively good picture, although the lack of a flash means that I wouldn't recommend the phone to anyone that the camera function is of particular importance to. Another quibble is the battery life - it tends to last a couple of days with limited usage, but more heavy usage tends to drain the battery power within the day. But if you're looking for a good, reliable and no-thrills mobile then I really can't fault this one at all.

Summary: I definitely recommend this for those wanting a good but reliable phone
