"Absolutely great phone"
Pros: Clear music, ability to sync phone book and calendar with PC, great sound, I am giving this phone four stars, because I have not yet discovered all this little machine can do - I expect I could do five stars, but that will have to wait.
Cons: So far, I like the whole phone... EXCEPT one big thing: the back cover is VERY difficult to get off. I have not yet learned the proper technique to do this. Nokia needs to fix this - every time I take the cover off, I am afraid it will break.
Summary: I have this as a second phone, but it is about the become a replacement for my three month old Nokia 6301, which turns out to be much less than I thought it would be. Very disappointing phone. Thankfully I have two lines, and will keep the 6301 at home with my WiFi, and this one, with me when I leave my house.
Radio works great, it turned out to be easy to transfer all my contacts from my 6301 to this one, while still keeping them on the 6301, too.
The 3.2 megapixel camera is amazing. I sometimes take pictures for fun for a blog I keep about my work, and this one will let me do so without bringing a camera with me. Flash works in a strange way with two flashes, but it does the job.
This phone is almost like a smart phone, since notes are also sync'ed with calendar and phone book/contacts.
T-Mobile sells this phone with a 2 GB mini SD card, and I have it loaded up with over 100 songs, plus 200 pictures - and still have not used more than 601 MB's.
The music slider on the front seemed like a gimmick when I first saw the phone, but it turns out to be a fast way to get into the music and radio settings.
One of the few things I do not like about Nokia's text message settings, is not being able to make my own preset text messages. I have solved that by sending small text messages to myself and saving them as text templates. Works really well and it gets around this irritating oversight on Nokia's part.
After a 50 dollar rebate this phone will cost me $ 99, which is not bad for a power house like this is.

It will be difficult to get the back cover off for about a year, but then it will become easy and you will be able to get off all nokia covers...LoL

The reason for the 2 flashes is it prevents red eye, like in higher end camera's. Great feature! : )
