General Comments

This phone came as part of a 12 month line advance deal, and I only chose it because the other choices were crud phones.

I have used it for over 2 years and I really love this handset! I now have smaller and lighter phones but I keep coming back to my good old Ericsson 868.

I guess the main thing that I like is its robustness. This is definitely not a plasticky wonder. You could drop this phone as many times as you like and it will escape unscathed, unlike some other allegedly better phones that I've had.

The ringer is nice and loud and there is a selection of 15 good ringtones including one you can program yourself!

The keys are hard topped plastic and very comfortable to use if you have big hands like me.

I recommend that you buy the slimline battery though, as it makes the phone much more compact and I certainly haven't noticed much deterioration in battery life.

I really like this phone and would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a good solid, reliable mobile.

If mobile phones were cars, then this would be a Volvo!
