        I dropped it once on the pavement and it was gone. Microphone got broken and nobody was able to fix it. the design is above average, but it is too fragile. like an egg... i recommend avoid purchasing it.

                      yeah seems like everyone has faced the same problem all my keys have cracked right in the middle...it looks weird and also i've read that some of urs automatically turn off, mine does the same, this fon's is indeed really beautiful but it has some faults that need to be fixed, and also my fon doesn't support 2gb external memory, it keeps on ejecting the memory card, n i have to insert it again to get it working. This one's very disappointing.

                        I've had this phone for awhile (it's great..) and the font was all white but today it just randomly turned orange which is pretty wicked but how do I change that/ how did that even happen?

                          I had this phone in spring yellow for about 4 months. It was a really great phone. The mp3 player & the speakers were amazing. It played music very loud. Reliable battery... and for your information, the "keyboard" didn't brake on me because I took good care of it. The keyboard only cracks if you slide down your phone too hard & you drop it constantly.

                              yes. you can video record on this phone. but you are going to need to buy external memory because 12mb internal memory isn't enough for long, video recordings. the keypad has not cracked for me yet. i only had this cell for about a month (contrasted copper version).

                              chathu_frk4vr - the "on/off" button is located on the back of the phone. tiny, black button on the top right. "battery low" means you need to charge the phone. this is common sense. i don't understand why you would throw away a $240 phone because it has no more power. your comment confuses me. maybe, you can be more specific on what you meant.

                                Keys Do crack. I got them replaced twice. But this time it looks like they've fixed the problem. It's been 2 months and this set of keys hasn't cracked yet.

                                ...lately the phone has started turning off by itself. So I'll have to put it again for service.

                                So, vital stats are: I have owned this phone for 6 months, out of which, it has spent 1 month at the service centre.

                                But this phone is *really* beautiful and unique.

                                Bottomline: Maintaining it is like maintaining a girlfriend. Requires its (rather big) share of upkeeping, but manageable, and makes you feel good too, when you look at its pretty face :)

                                        expect the buttons to crack and the software to experience problems within 4 months. Disappointment much? Yes!!!
