"I'm in Love!!!"
Pros: Great looks; well designed; stellar reception(!); sturdy (but good looking).
Cons: Antenna could be smaller; lack of choice in ringtones provided.
Summary: Okay. I've had this phone since the very first day it was available. Waited a bit to review it, because I wanted to be sure of my impressions.
The title says it all, folks: I'm in love.
Admittedly, I was upgrading from an old, oooold phone (V120c), but I researched for a solid 5 weeks before buying and am VERY happy with my choice.
PROS:
Looks: This phone is HOT. All my friends are extremely jealous. From the outer casing to the screen inside, it just. looks. GOOD.
Handling: The black rubberized material, in addition to helping it look so nice, makes it easier to grip.
Reception: I have yet to have a bad call on this phone. Calls are clear. I can even use it in the basement of my workplace (cinder-blocks and all)! [In addition, last night I had a convo with someone--I was in a loud bar/restaurant. He had no idea I was in a bar; he said he was hearing very little background noise!]
Speakerphone: Don't use it much, but the sound quality on my end seems fine. (My Mom has mentioned a slight echo, though.)
Ring Lights: I wasn't too sure about these when I read about them, but they really add a little fun factor to the phone. [Plus? I'm not one to use the vibrate function, so in a loud environment, the ring lights help me to know I'm getting a call.
]
Keypad: VERY well spaced. Blue backlight is awesome.
Size: I like the size. Fits well in my hand. Small enough for my purse, but large enough to be easy to find in it.
CONS:
Ringtones: Well, I ended up staying with the default (it's not too horrible), but there's really not much of a choice given.
Menu: Just a slight con. I could wish that they were a bit more customizable, but I suppose it could be worse.
Antenna: Wouldn't mind if the antennae were a bit smaller.
Camera: Picture quality is fine. Wish it had a flash though!
Battery: I'm not a heavy user, but I could wish that it lasted a bit longer during talk times. (I just have the one that it came with.)
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this phone!!!
