Advantages: World wide coverage

Disadvantages: Too small, feels flimsy

Just bought this phone two days ago after having waited over 7 months. I had read every review in existence before buying, so I knew what to expect. So far it has lived up to all my expectations.

First of all it has all the amazing features that nokia phones are known for. Menu navigation is the easiest and has the most flexibility. This particular model can also receive up to 5 custom ringtones. Considering it is a dual band 900/1900, which means it works more or less all over the world, its amazing that it comes in such a small casing. Most previous global phones such as the motorola timeport, Ericsson I888, and the hideous Bosch were all very large phones. This one is truely tiny. In fact this phone is a little bit too tiny for my liking. It feels a bit flimsy, and unlike the previous nokias this phone would probably break if dropped from 6 feet.

So far it has worked flawlessly. Reception is impeccable, especially when you consider that it has a completely internal antenna. It also has its own internal memory for 250 names, beyond the 250 names that you can fit in the SIM (500 names total). And its very easy to move names from the internal phonebook to the SIM card and vice-versa.


I highly recommend it.
