Advantages: Small, Synch to PC, Your own pictures

Disadvantages: lock comes off too easy, V Expensive accesories, Naff voice recognition

This was a present for my birthday, I would have chosen something else.
To get the most out of the phone you need to have the screensaver/backlight/bluetooth functions turned off. Mine has been on standby for a week now without a recharge, but i've only made a couple of short phone calls this week.
Accessories are way overpriced.
For anyone that wants to use the bluetooth feature, I use a usb blutooth dongle which cost just over £20. You can then add your own pics to the phone, but more importantly I can synch my phone with outlook, in particular all my contacts (so no messing about entering them in usong the keypad on the phone) and the calendar (as my memory is even more limited than the phone). If you want instructions on how to set it up with bluetooth just drop me a line.

I haven't tried setting up the email yet, but will do soon.

The voice recognition is the only feature that I think lets the phone down, the number of attempts it takes to be recognised makes it slower than using the keypad. (and that's someone who can use voice recognition software out of the box without training)

Read the manual, play with the phone, get used to the menu and you've got a pretty reasonable phone.

8 out of 10.
