Good Points

Excellent clear display.
Large screen on relatively small phone, but still enough room to write a text without pressing two buttons at once.
Key features can be accessed without entering teh main menu (e.g. address book, SMS messaging, and the camera).


Bad Points

Only a few good ringtones, in my opinion. But you can always create your own with the Music DJ, which is pretty handy.
The battery gets drained pretty quickly if you take a lot of pictures or video.
When put into 'silent mode' the phone still makes some noises, for example, when you take a picture.
Games aren't great. Includes JAVA Super Real Tennis, JAVA Fighters, and JAVA Tennis.


General Comments

Plenty of good points are packed into this easy-to-use phone. It has great 'themes' which include a moving wallpaper, and colour themes.
The menus are set out excellently, very easy to navigate. The camera is fantastic, say goodbye to blurry images! Plus, the large screen gives a great, clear display.
A handy feature is that you can write a text message without entering the main menu, the option is displayed on the start-up screen, as is your address book, and a WAP link.
The phone goes into standby mode after a short period of inactivity. It looks as if its turned off completely, but it can easily be brought off standby by pressing any button, and battery power is significantly conserved.
