Good Points

MP3 player sounds good, photos look good...erm...you can read a text without even opening the phone!!


Bad Points

Always crashes, rubbish battery life, very bad reception, gets "confused" as far as the menu options go from time to time doesnt connect with any other model of any other phone via infra red, no bluetooth, no games...


General Comments

Like many others I was lured in September 2004 by the great tariff offered by 3 and I was extremely excited for the first 3 months as it was my first camera phone. Then it broke, i was advised to take it to a carphone warehouse to get it "reflashed?" but most carphone warehouses refuse to do it anymore because there have been so many problems...strange??? So I had to make my way into Manchester town centre and stay there for 4 hours whilst it was done...two months later it happened again, I was now advised to send it to 3, who would fix it for me, but I wouldn't have a phone for three working days...and had to pay for the line rental. I was then told that if I had to get my handset fixed more than twice, I could cancel my contract free of charge... fantastic... can't wait for it to break again... BUT... it has to have been fixed by 3, not carphone warehouse...oh?! A couple of months down the line and people can no longer hear me over the phone, but I can hear them? So I sent it in for repair again, and complained bitterly, but to get a different handset I would have to get another 12month contract with 3... don't think so! Oh well, it only has to break one more time eh? Shouldn't take too long?? BUT when they came to collect my faulty phone the second time, they gave me a replacement, the same model, which means that I can't cancel my contract next time it breaks-they gave me a new phone! Buyers beware... 3 have awful customer service, very poor network and sneaky ways of making you pay more. Oh yes, and the spring broke on my camera, so I had to hold it at the back to take a picture of me :(
