Great phone, but don't wander far from the charger
Pros: One of the biggest benefits of this phone is its size. It's hard to notice it while it's in your pocket, and it's light. The feature set is pretty good for a entry level phone. WAP, text messaging, polyphonic ringtones, speakerphone, organizer. This phone
Cons: The battery drains quickly when the phone is out of range of a cell tower. I've tried turning off the "fast search" feature, but it still looses charge at an alarming rate. The case flies off of the phone if it is dropped, but never takes any serious dama

This phone has lasted me over 2 years!
Pros: I drop it at least once a day and NEVER have I had a problem...great size..."different" ringtones...handsfree is GREAT and very useful...cheap accessories available online at cellphoneshop(faceplates, chargers, good quality)...different profiles available
Cons: I often call people on accident when the keys are not locked...silly graphics and animations...only an orange backlight effect...buttons may be small for fat fingers...just trivial things!
