Would send & receive up to 8 pages of text in a message. Nice built in ring tone of cock crowing suits my rural lifestyle!
Bad Points
This was my first camera phone and surprisingly I only took about 15 photos in a year. Several taken at night didn't work out & were a waste of time. I think I only ever sent about 3 pictures to people mainly because lots of people think it costs 30p to send a pic and 30p to get it. I`m on Virgin Pay as u Go and anytime someone sent me a pic I had to go to Virgins web site to see it and never ever got to see it! So don't know if this was phone problem or Virgin problem. Battery life was poor. From day one, left on all the time it lasted 3 days. After 4 or 5 months this dropped to 2 days. That's a standby time of 48 hours. Really Bad.
I never found an fm radio and did not know this feature existed till I read some reviews here. The bluetooth feature did not connect me to other phones & I found it rather complicated. After a years use the letters & numerals had very nearly worn off the key pad.
General Comments
Sadly this phone lacks floatability and a total lack of leapability. A week ago I was leaning over cleaning out a stream of leaves and branches and my phone fell out of my pocket into the stream. Sadly it did not float nor leap back up into my pocket. I drained the stream and never found the phone. Darn poor show.
Huge instruction book put me off. I prefer things to be intuitive.
