General Comments
i bought this mobile phone 'cos it looks nice (stainless steel casing, clear blue backing, blue backlit screen, blue glowing buttons) and it's a triple band phone. feature wise it's pretty standard, no real innovation or obvious disadvantages.
my beef with this phone is the unstable software. after about 3 months of (minimal) use, things started falling apart (software wise). flashing screen, unable to access address book/sim card and eventually refused to turn on all together. also, the rubber buttons oxidises over time ie. lose clearity, micro crack on surface.
in conclusion, the S40 is a immature product. there are plenty of better phones out there in the similar price range.
