Advantages: great music phone

Disadvantages: a little bulky now

Well I don't think anyone can argue that this phone doesn't look good, and it was certainly one of the reasons of which I purchased the phone in the first place. There was other reasons but ill go into them later on.

Ok, so firstly ill go into the look of the product, the colour on the specification says its warm silver/brown. However when you get it in your hands it looks more like a black and dark silver/brown colour. Also the back panel of the phone has tiny speckles that reflect light and makes it look ever so stylish.
This nokia has a 2.4 inch screen. This screen is great quality and is really good for watching movies and pictures you have taken on.

I wouldn't describe this phone as heavy or even a bit bulky, however it is larger than some other phones but this is really the perfect size for me.
The sliding mechanism on this phone is great, it feels sturdy when you slide it, not like some phones when you slide them you feel as though the tops going to separate from the bottom leaving you with two un working pieces of phone.

This phone features a navi wheel, I find this great scene as iv had an ipod before I got one of these and I just find it a lot easier and quicker to flick through your images, songs and other thing on your phone.
However this navi wheel seems a little less prone to contact than the ipod ones, what I mean by that is you have to press a little harder to use it, whereas on the ipod you have to barely touch the wheel to scroll through your songs.
The main reason I got this phone, was because I was bored with my ipod and I wanted a phone with an mp3 on it. Well I couldn't afford an I phone, and scene as this has a massive 8 gb of storage space, I though this must be the next best thing.
The layout for playing the music is very simple and I love having all my music on my phone so I can either play it loud to people, or plug in my earphones and listen to it in private.

The camera on this phone is great too, its 2mp which Is really clear and sharp. Also because the screens so good its great for seeing everything you've taken.
Altogether this phone is great if you love your music, and just for music alone, I would say its as good as an ipod, if not better, and because you have all your phone things built in too, as well as games and even the chance to take pictures and videos, then this phone is great. So I say if you have an ipod kicking about, sell it, and get some extra cash together, go out and buy this phone. Because trust me its really good.
