Advantages: small, compact, light, fm radio, cool games, 150 messages in inbox

Disadvantages: too small

I got this phone for Xmas 2002, but cos I begged for it for ages. I knew I was getting it in Jan 2003, but it was a big surprise to here a present ringing on Xmas Day.

It is a wicked phone though. I didn't like the original cover, but I got a red one for Xmas, so it loooks well cool. The outside is so originally designed and it has a great shaped keypad. I could have got it when I got my 3330 on contract a year earlier (Jan 2002) but I tought the keypad was too small. I love it now though.

The main reason I wanted this phone is because of the size. It is so small and cute. I liked my 3330 but it was a bit too big. I saw it in a shop and fell in love with the design.

As well as looks, it has great features

1. It can hold up to 150 messages in the inbox. It is great, though the more you have in there the onger it takes to open. You can send and recieve picture messages, and send text, email and pager notes.

2. Call register tells you how long you have been on the phone, who to, who you have recieved calls from, and missed calls. It is well useful if you get free minutes, cos you can tell how long you have been on the phone, and how many mins you have left.

3.This lets you change the profiles, like if you were going to school, you can put it on silent, and if you are going outside, you can put it on loud. I have set up my own profile, with a set ringing tones. This phone doesn't have composer, but if you are friends with someone who does, they can send you tones (my sister does it for me).

4.This allows you to change settings on the phone like when you make phonecalls, and tone, time, and phone settings. It is useful for changing tones if you don't want to have to g
o all the way into profiles (I do).

5.The only new game here is Snowboarding, which is addictive, I play for an hour a day, but there is also Snake II, Bumper, and Pairs II

6.This explains itself.

7.This also explains itself.

8. So does this.

9.This allows you to play two player snake. Also you can can send and recieve data like phone numbers.

10. This is the coolest feaure ever. I can listen to any radio station I want and if I recieve a call it cuts out, and goes back on again when I hang up.This is the beat thing nokia have given this phone, in fact the design and the radio are the only reasons I really wanted to buy it.

11.This has features like countdown timer, voice recorder, and voice commands. Voice recorder is cool because you can record phonecalls and laugh at your friends next time you seethem. Voice commands allow you to make up words to turn radio and other stuff on, like you could say radio on, and it would go on.

12. This allows you to go on the internet via GPRS, and go onto websites. However you cant go on big sites, only special wap sites. I think this is pretty crap, and not all networks support it anyway. I never ever use.

13. This is not available on all networks, but I know Vodafone and T-Mobile do this. Basically you can get news updates and other stuff like horoscopes, and txt flirt. I don't use this cos you have to pay extra.

I have gone over all the features. I think this phone is so cool, cos it is stylish and beautiful. I love everything about it and I would definately buy it for myself again.

If I had a choice I would keep it forever (or until black & white is so out of fashion I will laughed at in the street)

10/10 of course
