I find it a very good phone except for one thing. when I get a call, the ring tone is very low and I had to keep it on vibrate so I can hear it. very nice mp3 and good camera. good looking phone and good battary. the only problem is the ring tone. I am not sure if it is the phone itself went bad or the main made is like that.

      Marcin - 1&2 - yes. 3 i dont know

      I've had this phone for half a year ( got it 2nd hand ) and i must say its a pretty bad phone.

      After 1 year the ting in the middle stopped working and the loudspeaker went dead, a new original one was like 50%

      The alarm function sucked, you could barely hear it in the morrow as it was closed and the mid files werent played so loud..

      annoying menus too, no themes whatsoever, just 1 design / firmware

      however, the camera is very very very good! same goes for mp3,great playback and quality, the phone never ever lags, it's pretty good looking


      alas, its main and most dissapointing backdraw is it's ABSOLUTELY CRAP battery, once a day it must be charged regardless, even with turning off the 3G function completely i could get at most 1,5 days..even when i didnt use it.

      so, steer well clear, it's a rare model, i went thru hell to find parts or anything for it, plus its a tad expensive when considering the competition is better and cheaper

        not a bad phone , great looking , very small, but it has it's faults too, you have to enter a code the first time you connect with a person via blu tooth + they also have to enter a code and it doesn't detect all phones. the battery life is very very poor i have to charge mine every night, plus the camera is very bad quality,downloading mp3's from your PC simply doesn't work!!

                        Minja from Serbia, why in Heaven's name do you need 3G phone in Serbia?!! Serbian networks will not support 3G in next 500 years (kol'ko smo bili pod Turcima)! It's just wasting of your money..

                                  I would have to say that the two most annoying features of this phone would have to be the poor battery life and the frustrating blank pictures this phone takes whilist in a pocket.
                                  That is one major flaw in the design, that stupid camera button on the side, even worse, the software is crap to allow constant blank photos. However, I have come up with a solution that solved the problem once and for all: (Not for the faint hearted)
                                  1) Remove battery.
                                  2) Remove four phillips screws in the back.
                                  3) Gently unclip the back plate from the main body of the phone.
                                  4) Remove the side camera button completely - it's just a tacky silver-painted bit of plastic)
                                  5) Clip back together, replace screws.
                                  6) Find a small piece of rubber that fits the hole left by the button nicely.

                                  The result?
                                  A completely useless, annoying button removed from the phone, and no more black photos of my pocket! Worked a charm.

                                  Good phone other than that though, the default ringtones suck arse though.
