"Simply the best phone I've used yet"
Pros: Small, call quality and reception, user friendly, lots of options for everything, battery life (somewhat) and very responsive
Cons: Have to buy a special cable to hook up to computer, battery life (somewhat), interface is tricky at first, call volume does change a little depending on other person's phone
Summary: This is by far the best phone I've had the pleasure to using yet. I didn't want to spend too much money but wanted quite a bit of features, and this fit right into my needs. I had purchased the Sony W580i before but returned it the same day due to it being so flimsy and bad speaker quality in calls (it was too muffled to understand while driving at full volume). So I got this phone and couldn't be happier.
The only big qualm I have with the phone is it's battery life. I don't make very long calls but if you plan on making long calls (over an hour) often without a charger near, I'd recommend another phone due to it's 3 hour rated talk time. Though, I've been getting over 3 hours since I bought it, not sure why but I of course don't mind.
The phone's OS is extremely responsive, which actually took me a while to get used to. Though, compared to the way all the other phones I've owned and operated, this one takes a little getting used to. It operates a little more like a PC than a phone with the way the menus and submenus are set up.
Overall it's a great phone with a lot of features for it's little price, so I'd recommend it to anyone, as long as you're not a talk-a-holic.
On a side note, I'm not sure if the phone has a built in headphone amplifier but the sound quality through my headphones is pretty amazing, and that's not just "amazing for a phone." It makes my AKGs and Sennheisers shine more than any other MP3 player I've hooked them into. Though, don't plan on using the built in EQ or effects because they're all pretty terrible.
