Advantages: Small, er, that's it.

Disadvantages: Minute buttons, too much competition.

Yeah, it may look sexy but trust me, the 'phone resmbles porsche on ice - looks great but handles like a horse. Granted, the usual features are there, Phone Book, Predictive Text Messaging (this is where you only have to press the number your letter appears on once and carry on the word, claims to have a 96% accuracy level, no trouble at all from it except when typing names!). However, what exactly do you get for your money's worth? Well, you get a screen placed 1/3 the way down the handset so that the number buttons and menu keys are cramped into the bottom half of the handet. It's rediculous! The buttons are so small that even with the most delicate of touches will disturb many of the neighbouring keys! This 'phone was a real disappointment and so don't buy this 'phone if you have chubby fingers. It'll be useless. Do buy it however if you are looking for a compact mobile as this 'phone does the job.

Back to the drawing board, eh?

I LOVE the 7110! It is so much better I think, but hey! These are opinions!

You should have no problem imputting names after doing it once the phone will then enter that name in the dictionary.
I have just traded my 7110 for the 8210 and consider it a brilliant phone but then i don't have thick fingers.

I think you are being very harsh on an excellent phone. How can it be small without having small buttons? Anything else would look awaful. Any, you can change the keypad if it really annoys you, to a rubber one that sticks out more. To give it one star is a joke, you're just a little bit on your own on that one arn't you!!
