Advantages: Good features

Disadvantages: Quiet ring, fiddly interface

I was offered one of these on a freebie upgrade on my vodafone contract - I chose it as it had bluetooth.

Initially I was quite impressed as I had upgraded from a Nokia 6110 - so being feature packed it was quite a novelty:

Best bits:
- good camera - I take pictures quite regulalry and they can be easily dowmloaded to PC and are of reasonable quality.
-nice clear screen.

Bits that annoy me:
- the ring volume is too low - I work outside a lot and even at highest setting I sometimes can't hear it
- rubbish interface - it's very fiddly - things don't seem to flow. For example if you've had a missed call - the phone shows it - but when you go into your missed calls list it's not at the top of it - often appearing fair way down
- the 'Live' button (vodafone only) is easily pressed
- I personally think the buttons are too close together and small
- not good reception

I haven't got a 3G contract so can't comment on that part of it.

Summary: Packed with features - just not user friendly
