Good Points
Build quality, slim (especially with slimline battery), good battery life, very clear and legible screen.

Bad Points
Slow, menuing can be confusing at times.

General Comments
I've had a few WAP phones (Sagem 930, Sony J5, Trium @ Geo) but this is by far the best. The build quality is superb, there's a decent-sized key panel and the keys have really positive clicks. I particularly like the pulldown menuing system and the screen is very evenly and properly backlit - unlike most other phones which use tacky sidelit LED devices.



OK the phone is a bit large but makes up for it with being only 12mm thick (I'm using the slimline battery). The battery information is very informative ie standby time and talk time and appears to be very accurate.



WAP configuration is relatively easy to set up and there are options for 5 alternative providers. The phone has an infrared port (unusually for the price!) and works fine in conjunction with my Handspring and laptop.



Overall, a superb mobile phone. Why did Ericsson stop making it? OK the R520 replaced it but at a cost in weight and thickness. And who needs GPRS?
