Not a bad phone when you're willing to accept the not too fast interface and the lack of option to enable T9 by default (suggestions more than welcome!). Besides that it's a cheap and simple phone, but you can at least edit the 'down' button to bind any option, which can be very useful to make up the lack of a 'new text' option at the main menu of the phone.

I don't understand all the positive reviews of this phone. This is undoubtedly the worst phone I have ever used. It looks good as a fashion accessory but doesn't actually work as a phone.
1) User interface is unintuitive
2) button presses slow to react often resulting in wrong selections in menus.
3) text messages are slow to send - need to switch to predictive text each time you write a message, too many confirmation messages before sending.
4) reception is absolutely dreadful - useless in emergency situations
5) Phone sound quality is poor, even in areas of good reception (i.e. right next to a transmitter). Voices are very harsh sounding.
If you want a basic phone that actually works, forget about looks and get the Nokia 1200.

Emil, 28 Aug 2008One problem I'm having with this phone is that it goes into... moreI am facing the same problem as well!
I wished there was some way of disabling the vibration when I set it to silent.
That'd be extremely battery-consuming!
Anyone? Any ideas??

The phone is very slow. It takes 3 seconds to unlock the keypad after it's pressed. Other than that it's good

If you are a simple user of mobile. Or you use phone just to use; not to play then this is the best phone. Ya, talking time is less and needs improvement. but the look of the black one is great....
