Advantages: Bluetooth does work well.

Disadvantages: Navigation is painful.

I've had this phone since it was released and initially i couldn't fault it, everything was working fine. But given about 2 months of use the trouble slowly began. First to go was the navigational joystick, which to this day refuses to go up, down, left or right without very undue persuasion. The fact that the joystick is practically the only means of navigating to any of the phones menus mean that it is now virtually useless, losing the ability to scroll through text messages, scroll through lines of text, find a phone number or play any of the games.
Users may also find that it will become painfully slow after a duration of time, i believe this may have something to do with the buildup of picture and video files, but once these are deleted it certainly should not continue to be in such dire straits.
In essence this phone has all the features of a fantastic package, but has the durability of an igloo in the Sahara.
Allow me to make myself clear, this phone will only annoy you and stretch your tether to its utmost, so do not encourage the continued production of this "phone" by purchasing it.
