"Wait a few months before jumping on the band wagon"
Pros: Stylish, very compact.
Cons: Reception, very compact.
Summary: Is it possible to have a phone that's too small??? Don't buy this phone online. You really need to go to a store and push the buttons. I often push two buttons unintentionally and it's twice as bad if you have long nails.
This phone is loaded with ring tones, melodies and screensavers for those of us (i.e. - me) too cheap to buy add'l ringers.
While the embedded antenna is slick, it seems to have affected reception. I had the same cellphone for 7 years before finally upgrading to this phone. I have to say this phone's reception isn't as clear as the old clunker I once hauled around. This phone is a bit more sensitive to interferences and the owner's manual recommends you not hold the phone in a way that causes your hand to block the internal antenna located near the corner hinge of the phone ... this can make for a juggling act for those of us that like to rest an index finger on the back and/or side of the phone when talking.
Overall the phone isn't bad, but I probably wouldn't buy it again if I had the chance.
