"DROP CALLS GALORE!" on by Guepard
Pros: Looks only?
Cons: Everything from 10 sec screens, battery life, Menu's
Summary: Here in Nevada and in New York we could not keep a phone conversation going for DROPPED CALLS!! The main screen times out in 5 to 8 seconds and Per NOKIA this is to save battery life. I can't read a text message in that time if it has more than 5 words. Dial a call and before it starts ringing the screen is black! All four went back!!
If you want a Nokia buy the 6085! All are Hecho en PinDayOville!! -

Pros: easy to use and excellent clarity
Cons: none that i have found yet
Summary: have the phone for 4 daysand am satisfied with its performance. I do not use all the features since they all cost extra. Phone quality is very good. Pictures are also very good.Maybe with use the menues will come more easily to me.Very happy with this unit and AT&T'S sevice.I would recommend this phone to any and all who are looking for a new phone.

"A good Starter, with the buyer cautions" on by Fragash
Pros: Call Quality is very good even in more remote areas than major meteropolitan areas like SF. But also "In the middle of nowhere" as well.
Cons: PCSuite is less than intuitive and the PTT,
Summary: I find that the battery life issue is less of a problem for me since nearly all my calls are what you might say are, "In Charger Range".
I just plug it into the house or car charger in for a fairly short time when the "battery bar" gets to half and within minutes the battery is fully recharged again.
However, the PPT is not the only place that could use improvement.
The software from Nokia, PCSuite, needs to be looked at.
The ease of use and connectivity factors need to be examined to increase the "User Friendly" aspects. The "Help Pages" aren't much help either.
These problems are more easily corrected since it is not the firmware but the software that is the issue here.
And the PTT really should be in a better location or be able to be "Turned Off" in the "Settings" or something.
Maybe if Nokia corrected these minor issues the "Battery Charge" issue would less of a problem for more people. But they could "look-into" a retro-fit replacement with a more efficient battery in the future.
All-in-all though I am quite impressed with the phone.
ON A PERSONAL NOTE:
After all how much time are we too far from a power outlet to plug into. I think they are even considering installing them on mass transit right now. But if it's a real problem, then consider buying a spare battery to use till you can get to your charger. (Oh and by the way, ungluing the phone from your ear from time-to-time increases battery life as well.) -
"Almost nothing good about it!" on by cavs23x
Pros: slim, decent features
Cons: Nearly EVERYTHING!
Summary: This phone is horrible, do not buy it, terrible battery, extremely flimsy and poorly made (when I bought it the hinge was loose and wobbly), would not charge properly (wouldn't even turn on until charged for 2 DAYS!) after that screen black out often. Took it back to the store and exchanged it for Nokia 6126 it has been way better. Only cons for that is no headphone jack, pictures often come out a little grainy, and the battery is still very poor.
