Advantages: Great features, walkman, memory card

Disadvantages: keypad crack, no flash.

My first experience of this mobile phone was awful, i coudnt get the back cover to clip in place properly, the sim card wouldn't fit in properly, and the memory card did not work with the phone.
after i sent it back, a new one arrived a week later i still had problems connecting the back and sim card. other then that all was fine.

The reason i bought this mobile phone was purely for the Walkman feature and long battery life, which i have to say is excellent, i get around 5 days battery use when used just a few times a day for phone calls and texts. when using the game, Walkman or radio features, the battery soon only last at the most 2 days.

in the box came headphones, wall charger. USB lead, CD software and a 1GB Memory card. The headphones work with either the Walkman or radio feature, but are needed in order to use the radio at any time, as the headphones act as a antenna. The radio worked exellent, without too much interference.

The Walkman feature is just as good as a stand alone MP3 player, and depending on what size memory card you have can store around 300 songs (1GB). you can also add pictures of the album or single that you are listening to. The sound quality is excellent when used with the headphones, also even without the headphones it is loud and clear.

As for the look and feel of the phone, it is sleek, slim and a slide style phone. It has a good size screen, and is very bright and clear, with an easy to use menu system. when you slide it up, the keypad appears. the keypad is rather small, and after a week of texting a few cracks appeared on the number 2 key and the number 4 key, also when in the slid up position, the 2 mega pixel camera comes into use, it takes good quality pictures compared to other 2 mega pixel phones ive had in the past.
Just a shame theres no flash. The video feature is quite poor, sometimes recording a clip can end up with blocky images.

The phone book has a huge capacity for storing numbers, email addresses, and other little details like add a picture to any contact in your phone book. also you can put in address details of a person, website and email details they have.

Other features on this phone are Bluetooth and java games which come pre installed, you can also download your own games.

Themes, which you can use to change the look of the layout of the menu system, you get a few pre installed plus you can download your own as well.

Summary: Overall a great phone, easy to use,
