"One feature away from perfect!"
Pros: Bluetooth, Quad-band GSM, Nice Camera, Great Display
Cons: 5mb memory, No flash slot, no color in external display (is that a bad thing?)
Summary: Okay, so I have only had this for a couple of days so I can't really speak about battery life, but I am already lovin' this phone. Having bluetooth and mp3 ringtones is awsome; I will never pay for another ringtone, AND they are the actual song (MIDI can go to hell). Quad band GSM is cool because I know that I can get service anywhere in the world. I havent had it freeze or anything. The main display and the camera look great, in some cases the digital zoom is actually useful for shots that will stay on the phone(normally throwing away pixels make cameraphone images look horrible). The quality of the speakerphone and the voice quality is average, but nothing to complain about. The external screen is sharp and is quite legible even w/o the backlight, imho. Its up to debate whether not having an external color screen is a bad thing, as a color screen needs the backlight and therefore wastes more power. The phone is compatible with any standard 2.5mm headset, which is nice. So the only feature that I really regret is the lack of a flashcard slot. I guess they do this because thats one of the few features that only the high end phones have, but if this had a transflash slot I could use this as an MP3 player (although this this would obviously require the data cable instead of bluetooth). The 5mb of memory is enough for the average user, although it would have been nice to see something closer to 16mb, as it is not expandable. Another very minor quibble I have is that the photos are too small when you have them for picture caller ID, they could easily be a sqaure inch, but the images show up in 1/4 of that size (even though the extra area is completely wasted!). All in all, however, I am very pleased with this phone, I paid $100 for it AFTER rebates, so the price at Amazon is a steal. GET THIS PHONE, is all I have to say.
If you do get this phone visit www.zedge.no, you can download great wallpapers (just use the ones for the v300, since they are the same)
