I've had this phone for a few weeks..

Cons:
* Laggy menues
* Does not seem to support T-Flash greater than 128mb
* Maximum volume isnt very loud (unless modded with software)
* Vibration decent, but weaker than my old Nokia 3310
* Does not have the simple Stopwatch feature
* Cannot record videos

But I'll have to point out some great things
Pros:
* Best VGA camera I have ever used
* Plenty of phonebook memory
* Bluetooth works flawlessly
* Well-built, won't break as easy as other phones
* With headphones very good sound quality
* Lights are cool, the sound activation impressed just about everyone that saw it!
* Feels nice in hand, especially the plastic
* Top quality screen
* Menu order and softkeys can be edited within the phone

I bought this phone in Australia for $AU 250
I dont think there is a better phone for this price on the market. An affordable phone with camera, bluetooth and cool lights!
If you want a good bang for your buck there is no better option!

                          I bought it 2 days ago, I found that this phone is the best phone on that price. I have problems:
                          1. I copied phonebook from simcard to phone memory, succed but after that everytime I try to open phonebook instantly I got main menu on the screen, could you help me to solve it....?
                          2. Like the others who have wind 98, i need the driver...
                          Thanx b4

                            hi, i have had the same probs with the photos gettin corrupt... dont kno whats goin on there, but yeah, i just reccommend backing up your files evry once in a while... and the2 most annoying things about this phone are the charger and the slow speed! the charger never seems to want to charge the phone!! my solution is to tape the phone to my desk in a certain position and keep movin it till it charges! takes like 15 mins each time! but hey! and the slow software!! OMG... pretty self explaintory tho! if i had a choice, i would have saved my money for a bit longer and gotten somthing much better... and tho all the other features are brilliant, the bad things overshadow the good things! (frustrates the sh** outta me!)
