Advantages: Value for money, small, cute, stylish with many features.

Disadvantages: Not the latest model as newer mobiles and models are in the shops.

ATTENTION all seeking ones.

This is the one of the best discoveries in mobile technology.
Lets start with the handset, it's small, sleek and sexy. The screen and the buttons are smaller than the 3310.
It's also very lightweight with a vibrating alert tone.

When you switch the phone on it welcomes you with a very warm greeting tune that can be changed to a personal greeting if you choose but I personally like the tune. It makes a change from the loud beeps you get on other mobiles when you turn it on.
As with all nokia's it is filled with features and they are so easy to use.
The names feature allows you to store names as all other phones but the cool thing about this is that you can also store multiple numbers (work, home, fax etc) and emails, addresses, notes and voice tags (voice activated dialling), with this feature you don't have to have notes all over the place.
The menu has many features too, they are in order:-

MESSAGES:
Write - with dictionary.
Inbox - stores plenty.
Outbox - keeps messages you want to send later.
Archive and my folders - allows you to save and catagorise all text messages (over a hundred).
Template - 10 quick notes (handy when you don't have time to text) and 10 pictures to add to your messages.
The rest are standard.

CALL REGISTER:
Allows you to check missed and received calls, dialled numbers and check your call duration.

PROFILES:
Are as on all nokia's allows you to choose ringtones, vibrating calls and alerts. You can have your calls on silent etc.
You can also download and save 5 extra ringtones.

SETTINGS:

Has time settings.
Call settings (divert, call waiting etc).
Phone setting (language, start up tone etc).
Tone settings (informs you of current ringing status).

GAMES:
Pretty average games.
There are four games,they are:
-Snowboarding.
-Snake II.
-Bumper and pairs II.
The phone has infrared which allows you to play a two player game with someone else.

CALCULATOR:
Also pretty basic.
There is an extra feature which allows you to calculate foreign currency.

TO DO LIST:
This allows you to make those all important notes. It will be stored in order of priority and can be sent as text (SMS) or saved to the calendar.

CALENDAR:
This allows you to make notes and save them on any date and time of any year.
What's also great is that you can add a time and an alarm which will go off to remind you of a meeting, birthday, call you need to make or just a note.

INFRARED:
Allows you to send and receive data such as business cards, calendar notes to or from a compatible phone or data device (computer via the IR port of your phone).

RADIO:
Yes you've read it here.
It's got a radio.
When you purchase the phone they give you a headset (earphones) but it doubles up as a hands free.
You can hear your phone ring through the earphones and answer it on the handy clip by pressing a button without actually having to take it out of your pocket.
Great safety feature too!!!!!!
You can tune and save up to 20 radio stations of your choice and change it too by pressing quickly the button on the clip.

EXTRAS:
Even more great features.
It has a voice recorder. It can record up to 3 minutes of voice memo or part of a phone call.
It's great when you don't have a pen or paper around. It saves automatically under recording so if its an impotant note save it under a title. It is actually ILLEGAL to record phone calls so they have added a faint bleeping sound that the other person will hear and you have to make them aware of what you are doing then it's ok.
It also has voice commands, a countdown timer and a stop watch which allows you to time lap and split timing.

SERVICES:
Mobile internet services.
WAP (wirless application protocol), allows you to browse the internet.

INTERACTIVE:
Allows you to have text chats, receive infomation on sports, news, weather, exchange rates, lottery and share prices, send group texts, have fun and games and have voice services.

All the features mentioned above on this phone are easy to use.
This is definatly a great mobile phone to buy.
It's easy to use, small and well worth it's money.
I'am truly a very happy customer and I would advise anyone who wants to have a reliable, durable phone to go out and purchase one.
