Good Points

Ultra slim phone that is well featured with a camera, walkman, 3G etc, useful "desktop shortcuts" menu, and it looks pretty cool.


Bad Points

The keypad is fiddly unless you've got child sized fingers, the reception isn't as good as a larger phone (with a larger aerial), the Operating System can be a little sluggish to respond, the camera has no flash/light so is useless in the dark, and I've noticed a tendency to turn itself off unilaterally.


General Comments

I love this phone to look at, and the tiny size is a real selling point. However, I've been disappointed with it to use - nothing is fundamentally wrong but there a lot of niggles (small keys, sluggish OS, and shaky reception compared to my old W810i). Naturally there have to be a few corners cut to squeeze so much phone into a small box, but nevertheless I'd have hoped it would run at least as well as my W810i which is 18 months older. Get this phone if you need something small, but if you can bear a bigger package you can get better performance elsewhere.
