"A review from an actual owner!!!!!"

by teedee95 on October 19, 2006

Pros: Best value for the money!

Cons: Speakers' quality is diminishing at higher volume.
Summary: I just got the phone couple of days ago from Nokia showroom in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The phone costs $267, and it comes with stereo headphones, and 512 mb micro memory card. First of all, the phone looks really nice and I didn't feel it is bulky at all. The screen is great, and the photo quality was really impressive for a 1.3 mb camera. The music features are the best I have seen for a phone at this price range. The ability to use your own headphone is a BIG plus; the music keys are located in a very nice way and very practical to use; The music player looks superp; and accepting the WMA format was a personal advantage for me.

I had only couple of relatively negative observations regarding the phone: The speakers' quality is diminishing at higher volume; and the availabe alternative phone themes are ugly compared with what other phone makers (specially sonyericsson) are usually provide with their phones (I tried the available red themes to match the phone color and the results were uggglyyyy!!!!).

Other than that, the phone is the BEST value for the money if you really want a decent looking phone with concentration on music and with a practical camera (for a cell phone!!). I was happy that I got exactly what I needed from a cell phone without paying too much for features I know I will never use. I strongly recommend this phone for people who look for practicality, good price, and fun.

Can you actually get a quad-band world phone or is it only a tri-band (900/1800/1900 Mhz) version. This is important since Cingular uses the 850Mhz network in my area.
