Advantages: MP3, Small, Looks good

Disadvantages: Locks up infrequently in WAP

I have recently bought this phone 2nd hand @ about half year old, i have owned it about 6 months and its great!! Especially the mp3 player, not a patch on the nokia with fm radio! even with the 32 mb mmc card it can hold 7 songs, up to 30 on the 128mb one! It cost £120 second hand, which wasnt bad, its menus are easy to follow, the screen is great for WAP, as it is large.

The control on the headphones is great: you listen to music on em, someone calls, u press the button an u can speak with them hands free, without having to get the phone out.
You can also make voice commands to call someone, if you are out of the mp3, press the headphone button, say who you want to call and it will call them!

The games on it are OK but the MP3 player makes up for that. The battery life is surprisingly good taking into the account of the power used by music, especially if you buy the bigger battery.

The buttons specifically for MP3 and Dictaphone are great, especially when your phone is in your pocket - you know where they are. The Data transfer speed is poor via a com port when transfering files and MP3 over to the phone - Get a MMC card reader for about £20, this is USB a lot quicker! Only thing is you have to take the card out - easy anyway. The MMC is great for transfer files, especially that the fact that the card reader is so small (6 cm by 5 cm) With computers with Windows Me and Xp just plug it in and windows already has the drivers, intalls them automatcally in a matter of seconds! (just make sure you stop (eject(you will find an icon in the taskbar wich you can eject it with)) it before removing the card reader).

Overall a Fab Fone

*Dictaphone

*MP3 player

*Wireless AP

*Easy menus

*Great file transfer with MMC
