"Works Great--Read this review, the other 2 are based upon a misunderstanding of the phone"
Pros: Slim, Light Weight, Good Sound Quality, Texting works great
Cons: No Camera, Few & Unappealing Ring Tones, key pad "unlock" button is a tad quirky
Summary: Great sound quality (speaker phone works really well). Texting is not slow, contrary to other reviews, you just have to know how to play with the settings and fix it. Here's how:
On main menu select "settings", "others" (option 0), "text entry", "T9 Settings", "word choice list" and TURN OFF this feature!! This word choice list is what is making the phone texting so slow. Turn it off and viola!--texts like any other phone.
I would really like to keep this phone except for the fact that it doesn't have a camera. I was in a hurry and just assumed that it had one. If you don't ever use a camera, I would definitely recommend this phone. I would disregard the other two reviews simply for the fact that they were basing their rating upon how slow they thought the texting was--which is actually no reflection on the phone; they just didn't know how to correct it in the settings.

I use the word choice list in T9 mode frequently - it only helps speed up texting. If you don't need the list then perhaps this phone will be fine for you but as an avid texter I was disappointed in this phone.
