    "Solid but sleek, overall good phone."

    by emmalee2014 on March 18, 2009

    Pros: Extremely thin fits nicely in pocket, Powerful speakers for music, Nice ringtones, Awesome color, External memory options, Pretty good battery life, headphone jack, good screen color & quality, themes.

    Cons: "Profiles" were a little hard to understand, camera quality was mediocre, no flash on camera and lengthy shutter delay, occasionally presses buttons in my pocket, no banner option, cannot change fonts.

    Summary: I love this phone because of its size, although it's small it is durable. I have dropped it a few times, and the phone has retained no serious dents/scratches. The menu navigating takes a little bit of getting used to. Instead of turning your phone on vibrate by simply turning down the volume rocker, you have to instead press the power button and go into a "profile" that is designed for being silent. You can create your own profiles, and the phone comes with preloaded profiles such as normal, silent, outdoor, and flight, The phone has kinda extremely lame wallpapers, not going to lie. However, the phone is designed for music. And music it is. The speaker is superb and can fill a room turned only 3/4 of the way up. You can also choose different themes for the music player, and there is album artwork. I was disappointed with the camera, but it wasn't horrible. The final result of the picture isn't bad, but keep in mind that there's no flash, so the lighting must be very bright. My problem with the camera is that once you press the shutter, it takes about 20-30 seconds load, and you cannot take another picture while it's loading. So for that it's pretty much useless for sequential pictures. There are some great effects though like black & white, false colors, sepia, negative, and polarize. Finally, there is a self-timer, but I'm not sure why you would want that for a camera phone.
    What I love is the über-large message capacity. On the phone's memory alone (not my Micro SD) I could hold up to 2,500 messages in my inbox, and 1,000 in my sent messages!
