General Comments

After considering the Nokia 3650 mobile phone and the Sony Ericsson T610 I plumped for this mighty beast on T-mobile.

At first I was extremely happy with my purchase. It has everything you could possibly need crammed into the phone, with email being a particular breeze to use. Picture and video capture were good. Gaming too is fast thanks to the built in hardware.

Reception too on T-Mobile seemed exceptional, with full signal in places you wouldn't expect.

However these good points are dragged down by the bad points-

Text messaging and writing anything in particular = long winded and uncomfortable.

The round keypad seemed to be cool at first but the clunky buttons and strange layout made firing off messages a bit of a chore. Playing games with the keypad too was almost silly because the standard buttons ie 1,2,and 3 are all on top of each other making gaming very fiddly indeed. Granted some made use of the multi-direction arrow key, but this button too is a tad user unfriendly.

Did I also mention how bulky it is? You can fit it in your pocket, but walking down the street with a big bulge in my trousers is not my idea of cool!

I took it back in the end, and swapped for the T610 which has pretty much the same features (apart from video) crammed into a much smaller case. Check out my review of that too.

Overall I would recommend if you think you can handle the odd keypad and the size, because the features are very good. I paid £20 for the phone and had to go on a £21 a month package.

    Totally agree with your comments. I was given the opportunity to have this as a free upgrade - now I see why. From using a diddy handset like the old 8210, this was a 'handful' (pardon the pun!)
