Good Points

Nice looks
Feature packed (Bluetooth, Java, IR, GPRS)
Colour Screen
Decent Price


Bad Points

Annoyingly painful buttons (ie the joystick)
Only 256 colours
No changeable covers (I'm fine with this but some people don't like it)
Very bad onscreen image quality


General Comments

This phone has all of the features expected with a modern phone including a clip on camera. But to be honest with you I do not think you should buy this phone if you are going to use it for media messaging because the lowish resolution 256 colour screen cannot really hack it however uploading the pictures to your computer shows them to be of decent quality for a phone camera. There is a large amount of gaming software available for this phone but (and this might just be me!) I have found the joystick to hurt my thumb after a while. The phone seems to have a great reception and a long battery life and for the price you could not ask for much more.

    I have to say you are all wrong about this phone, first of all there is 4,086 colours not 256 as you seem to believe and how can you think the picture quality is so bad? 640x480 resolution thats a big plus higher than most phones.The picture quality is better than the Sharp and Panasonic and the Ericsson t68i.Its also the advantage of a flash on the camera most other phones can only take a picture in very bright light.
    Have you ever even seen other camera phones, you come across as if your comparing it to a camera not another phone.
