Being a longtime and faithful Nokia user, it took a extreme leap of faith to purchase this phone. I was highly impressed with phone #1, until it died on me the same day I got it. Whether it was caused by a manufacturing defect or from an iffy usb connection between it and my Mac, I'll never know.
Take #2
Forget my qualms about the first phone dying, after really getting to use it, I have to say that it is a fantastic little phone. I would agree that the keys are a lil funky, but I've found that its remedied easily enough by putting it in a case, for some reason the plastic covering the keypad makes it significantly easier to use than without.
The really key thing for me when purchasing a phone is its signal reception (here in The Bahamas... our cell service isn't too good), and so far this has been more than comparable to any of the nokias which I have used and certainly better than any junk Motorola that I've seen.
The camera is decent, though not spectacular... but with me being a pro photographer I naturally dont expect great things from my phone camera. It is good for what camera phones have always been intended... taking quick snapshots.
The walkman player is great, it doesnt have a whole lot of customization or features but that has proven to not be 2 bothersome to me. The included noise-cancelling headphones are really a treat, though I just wish they hadnt designed them specifically for use with the headset, as without it.. well the headphones come up a lil short in the length dept and no one I know wants to wear their iPod as an earring.
one feature I discovered which I hope to never prove useful is the SOS signal. There is an option tucked away in Organizer that will either turn on the dual LEDs for the camera at full power or will flash them in the international distress signal of SOS. For those of us who are boaters, you never know when you may need it.
My only real qualm about this phone is the battery life... but such is life

610f an, 12 Oct 2008hey can u zoom on camera mode because when i do it it says ... morehey there...
actually, u can zoom in and out in camera mode. just choose "VGA" mode in "size."
moreover, u can transfer songs to your fone from your pc by connecting your USB cable to your pc. when connected, choose "transfer mode" from your fone. and your pc shoulf detect your fone memory and memory card. from there, you can drag songs to the destination folder that you want.
hope this helps...lol Ü

It's a total FIASCO!
1>The keypad is very cumbersum.
2>During sms writind no option to enter integers.
3>All the inlets including head-set,charging adapter r pretty loose so often cant get connection resulting in terrible fuss.
4>The speaker quality is horrible...very much low!
5>During pc attachment the connection is established after many desperate attempts.
6> THE MOST HORRID IS CAMERA!At night all the pics taken seems that as if the persons r suffering from anemia...so very pale!!!!
7>The walkman enhancements r just 4 show they hardly produce any effects!
8>If it gets infected with virus u have 2 rush 2 the service center bcoz no antivirus can heal it....the problem remains even after formating the entire memory.
9>Doesnot support any softwares which r meant 4 it only!
10>The display is very small.
So it's better not 2 buy any cell ph at all than buying this crap n waste money.

i've used this phone for about 5 months. Nearing the end of it's lifetime, some glitches appeared. the photos of my contacts sometimes don't show up when texts come in. Some of my phone numbers were found missing. But I'm someone who doesn't really take good care of his tech. But the worst that's happened to this one was falling off the bed. My point is, even though there won't be any visible damage to the outer casing of the phone.Eventually, there will be problems for its lack of durability.
