Advantages: long lasting battery, free as an upgrade

Disadvantages: low volume, difficult to hold and use

i was given thios phone as a free upgrade from 3, so no complaints about the price, but as a phone, personally i wouldnt choose it because the slide up keypad can be a pain to sue and calls get disconnected very easily because of this, plus having the phone in your pocket, along with a bunch of keys or loose change catching the WAP button is very annoying! Added to the fact that the volume isnt that loud makes the phone imractical in my opinion.

Even turning the phome on and off is a fiddly task, and is problematic, and a non-slip finger slide at the bottom would be a welcome addition.

On the plus side, the camera is exellent, and the battery holds its charge very well plus the 1gb memory card is useful if you take a lot of pictures or videos.

All in all, only get this handset if you are offered it for free.
