hey.please dont buy these phones...it has been 1 and half years since i bought this phone.... now its internal memory is corrupted which makes the installation of new software also impossible...for all the new buyers please be aware..otherwise it is a very good sleek soft keypadded , easy for messaging....but should not use the fm often or messagin often because the software gets corrupted..... my advice "handle with care"

i have been using this phone for the past two yrs(since june2004).i had a lot of good and bad times with it but i learnt to love it.it's really cute phone, a very handy design, suits both men and women well.to discuss the pros and cons:
pros:
1.sturdy and attractive design.yeah attractive?surely it is...it used be a head turner when i first bought it.for the first look it appears as though the key pad is impractical .but then with some practice,u will find that this is a very good design as it rarely gave me any RSI even after long message typing.to speak of sturdyness, i dropped the phone for more than ten times..twice on road while ridind on bike..still not even the covers parted.once it just got switched off and turned on again(ofcourse that it does more often than not,i'll tell u later)
2.FM radio: let me tell u , this phone has got the best FM quality any phone in it's class can give u,for that matter to get a better reception phone u may have to spend another 5 or 6k INR(abt $150).The earphones are also good.I can get a clear and loud reception even while driving and in train.
3.SMS capacity:I didn't realise this phone has got such large sms capacity untill i found that my inbox is never overflowing despite the innumerable messages sent by my cellular service provider.
4.battery life: excellent .with normal usage(1/2 hr talk, some gaming) u can get about 3days of usage,even u keep on listening to radio phone will not die upto 9 or more hrs ( or untill it gets switched off by its buggy software)
5.Cellular signal reception is also good...never did it let me down, even in cellar parkings.
cons:
1.buggy firmware: while browsing through ringtones sometimes sound suddenly freezes,or while browsing menu items,phone gets switched off and turns on,it can happen even while writing a message,u just never know when..but its there always round the next turn.
2.lack of support for more poly phonic tones.The fact that nokia can provide 5 polyphonic tones in the fixed 35 tones,tells that the they can provide more but still thier marketing strategy dictates otherwise.
Verdict: all in all a good phone which u can go for if u can live with it's minor software bugs( for other things there is always good nokia service there!)
it costs now about 3100 INR (about $68) in india.

I purchased this phone recently and already i found a lot of bugs in this, like the light goes of when you browse through the ring tones with the rythmic lights on and also when you choose all small letter (abc) while typing the sms only the first letter will come in small and other will come in Caps..
My friends told me that there is a new software available for this phone at the nokia service center..
I am hoping that it will fix most of the bugs..
and key board is not so easy to use

i've had this phone since november 2004 (abt 1 year 3-4 months now) and it's dropped a lot of times but still works! Yeah sure it did refuse to turn on one time but after bringing it to fix it was OK already! I think it's OK but I would really luv a colour-screen phone!!
