Customer Reviews 

Rather flimsy
2008-11-26There's no denying that this phone is loaded with features. Awesome camera, music player and a sleek appearance. I only wish that it was sturdier and had more thought put into its design .
I've had this phone for less than 6 months and have already had to replace the slide bar. At first I chalked it up to clumsiness, but days after replacing it I noticed the new bar cracking in the same place. Seems to me like a manufacturer's flaw (very similar to the Sony ericsson's cracking buttons).
I can't understand why the makers would put such a flimsy button on a part of the phone that gets the most pressure. I'm thinking of just waiting and getting a new phone rather than dumping my money into repeatedly repairing this one.

Not perfect, but no phone is.
2008-10-12I bought it for the camera (3.2 megapixel!) It works well, and saves each picture automatically by default rather than assuming you only want to send it. It is set up to feel like a camera with the shutter button and zoom placed traditionally. The flash is overwhelmingly bright. Time between clicks is slow. Worst part of the camera is that when you take a pic, the image that freezes onscreen is NOT your picture, but the image 1 second before your picture. You never know what you are going to get.
Phone quirks include not reliably locking external keys when the phone is closed (even when set to do it). The main navigation button is hard to master. Up is easy, but getting it to hit "select" instead of down is often hard. Still for a tiny non flip keypad, it is surprisingly easy to use. It only has one alarm, but it works well. The volume is very low, even at the highest setting. It defaults to a very low volume with bluetooth. So EVERY time, I have to access the handset to raise the volume. The voice dial interface is awful. The robotic voice is grating (unlike the motorola one) and it will dial even if it guesses wrong. It's biggest fault is the sound is terrible. There is a lot of static, and the quality is enormously tinny. The speakerphone is almost useless. The best feature other than the camera is the voice memo function, especially when used with a bluetooth headset.

good phone, a little flimsy....
2008-09-30I like the phone and features, just wish it was a flip phone, the screen gets too dirty.

great phone but battery is not so powerful
2008-09-24it looks great, easy to use. but the battery can't stand for so long, it says 300 hours standby time. For me, it only has 3 days standby time ,and i don't have many calls.
