arite guys at first i thought the cam was bad as compared to w810 and well i was wrong... it is actually ok.. and the video recording is better than w810... once you use a custom cam driver... and in response to that guy's point of it being not able to be customized...?? what happened to flash menus? isnt that a customize... lol... its jus as good or even better than nokia and moto in that... and with modded acoustic drivers its REALLY :O LOUD!! i think its a good update from a k750... oh and i cant forget how fast it is! great UI!

3 days after buying this phone, i got pissed off with the utterly small keys and gave this phone a lower rating. i also attempted to sell this phone in about a week.
but i take everything what i've said.
the small keys are cool. unique in a sense. i realized that this phone is a badass. the size of the keys is something that makes it different and way cooler than the other. soft and large keys, i realized, are for girls and gays. lol. no intended discrimination there.
the sound quality kicks ass. being a music phone, it stands up to what it really is. trust me. the loud speaker is, well, really loud. equalizer options give the most pleasant sound equalization environment. the megabass blasts my ear waxes. lol. the sound quality between the loudspeaker and the earphones are way different. although the sound through the loudspeaker is decently clear, the sound through the earphones is excellent crisp and clear. it almost approaches the quality of ipods.
some people say that the camera sucks. i don't understand but the picture i take with its camera is very clear, especially under good light. well, the resolution really sucks with limited or no light. but trust me, you wouldn't want to take pictures in the dark would you?, the pictures are decently clear even if you transferred them into the pc. maybe some people are stupid enough to take picture in the dark. lols.
and by the way, this really is not a cybershot camera.
this phone is the cheapest that is packed with outstanding features.
response time is super fast. i could not recall any event where this phone lagged that i would have noticed.
the battery is superb. i listen to the music for more than 6 hours and it still lasts 3 days, with normal call and text uses and occasional camera use. it lasts 6 days for normal texting uses. gosh.
the camera protrudes a little bit but i remedied it by buying a crystal case which sank the camera by about 1.5 mm, pretty decent protection against surface level scratching.
this phone is the cheapest that anyone could get that is packed with outstanding features. omg, i realize i have one of the best phones ever built.
customization is very easy and friendly. i have been downloading ringtones and themes from different websites and they all have been compatible with this model.
updating is a bit cranky but you will get used to it once you've done the first.
overall, this phone is superb.
maybe sometimes, there are some things that we don't like first but we're going to like them later. things that are too convenient are also very uninteresting.

i've bought this phone few days ago and here is my opinion..
1) How the hell can i take off the back panel to see battery??
2) Keyboard is really small. it was hard @ the beginning, but i already got use to this so it is ok now.
3) Black screen in standby mode piss me off... miss the clock like in nokia...
4) Original PC Suit application is useless.
Use MyPhoneExplorer now...
5) Sound quality kick ass!!
6) No camera cover is advantage for me :) i don't like something sticking out of the phone and i even can not imagine what would happen when my kids would get the phone with sliders into their small hands :)
7) i'm wondering if i will be able to get use to port placed on side..
8) not good that i can't connect charger & phones @ one time like in nokia
9) Play and volume keys to much flushed with body, hard to find it not looking at the phone.
conclusion:
super phone...

lemme be ur SAVIOR n help for all of u who r interested in this phone...
just got mine 9 days ago just for kicks, i choose this over Nokia E51 & Nokia 5301 Xpress Music
BTW, for the polyphonic, its not true tones like newer nokia phones... though the loudspeaker is VERY VERY L.O.U.D !!!!, sound clarity and clearness is not as good as newer nokia models with true tones (64 poly and above), therefore, i have to say that his phone has about 40-50ish Polyphonic processor not 72 like what this site state!!!
definitely get this over the k550(lower sound quality) or even the w660 or K530 (2 of which doesnt have even an autofocus). camera is almost on par with K550.. almost.. yes, its that good for 2 mb res.!!!
its TFD, not TFT which is actually brighter!! and batt saver. plus the font is very pleasant, large, and very readable. colors r vibrant thou definitely 2nd compared to newer Nokia with 16.7 Mil Colors. nice flash / animated backgrounds
no noticeable lag time truly. the processor is around 200MHZ.. kinda fast for non heavy O/S phone. trust me, NO LAG! it has built in memory of around 60-80ish mb? which is quite nice to put couple of songs in it and it came with 512 M2 mem card to put even more songs n other stuff
fast n easy net connection (Love the RSS features), even has a push email! Bluetooth V2.0 + A2DP works well in here as far as i'm concerned with mine...infrared works well
amazing batt life with 950 mAH, i've used this phone heavily for net + walkman + camera, it lasted 2 days. for normal regular phoneuse, i've got for around 4.5 days
now the killer part... THE walkman apps + track find kicks ass!!! so easy to use with EQ + Mega Bass sound customization. if u listen it with the bundled earphone, thats where this phone triumphs!!! truly feels like a MUSIC player champion with crystal clear clarity, treble, mid, and kicking bass
truly a great phone... i give it an A-
now the downfall of why i'm not giving a full A or A+ :
- not as customizable as Nokia and Moto
- bundled software and file transfer is a bit complicated to install and use compared to Nokia, especially the software update process
- no active standby like Nokia, during sleep u have to push a button to see what's up
- camera lens is not protected or even hidden a bit from the surface - easily scratched over long period of pocket time (a bit protruded for goodness sake)
- ooh... what a bad design for the keypads... took some practice, and patience i tell u... u guys better clip ur nails good and have small fingers if u want to use this phone
- batt cover + sim removal is no breeze
- records video in ancient QCIF (frickish small /scattered resolution)
- it only came with 1 game! & 1 misc. apps!
- again, PC-PHONE software sux
Even with all the shortcomings, yes, buy this phone. with reasonable price and much better than Xpress Music or the ROKR, its truly worth it in its class... no wonder its no.3 top rated phone in here
I hope this helps... send me all the regards if u like this review
