General Comments
I had a Nokia 9110 before this phone. When i got this i was excited cuz it played mp3s. Well uploading mp3s onto the phone is very unpractical. You upload at a speed of 14,400kbs a second which is more then twice as slow as a 33.6 dial up connection. This means you will have to keep your phone connected to the pc uploading songs for hours! VERY unpractical! That wasn't the only problem. I got a lot of Memory Card Errors and the phone jammed and rebooted a lot for no reason. I thought I was the only one having this problem until i checked out some SL45 message boards and realized that a majority of the ppl faced similar problems. I had the phone for around 5 months when i noticed that the silver on some of the buttons started to fade to reveal a orangy colored plastic underneath. that's when i decided to sell it and get the ericsson 310s. I would not recommend this phone to anyone. Get a nokia. Not even an ericsson.
