User Reviews & Recommendations

Has its good points (Santosh, India)

User Rating:

I think for starters that the sterling black looks much better. This phone is the fourth phone I have had in two years & is a great phone from what I have seen in the last what, about 2 weeks since Christmas.

The design of the phone is fairly good, I personally think if the phone is too thin, it will stuff up in a short period of time because the phone is so packed in the phone overloads itself, but even with all the new technology today that keeps getting smaller & smaller, I still think that.

3rd times no charm (Suban, Bangalore)

User Rating:

This is the 3rd phone I've had of these. The first one turned off after one day & wouldn't turn back on. The second one was replaced after a week for turning off by itself & now my third one is doing the same. Even if I gently put it on my desk, it'll turn off or if I am talking to someone, it'll turn off. I wanted a different replacement phone & wasn't allowed so we'll see what they say about this third one. Also, the screen on the front only stays on for a short time so you have to constantly check to see if you have messages/calls etc. The names also scroll across the front too quickly so you have to open it to see who has called. It's easy to use but all in all, I am not happy with this phone.

Good value (Shaun, Australia)

User Rating:

I think this is great, as compared to the price for it.

Most bad things I found:
1. No USB cable modem provided
2. Poor sound effect
3. Battery (really a great problem!)
4. No infra-red
5. Charger I changed 3 times!
6. Costly memory card
7. Low quality camera

Most good things I found:
1. Smart and sleek handset
3. Good looks
2. Appropriate to the price
4. Good sound effect in hands-free
5. Easy to handle

All in all, I'm very happy with this!
