    i just hav a question for anyone who reads this... just concerning the mp3 player on this phone or any phone- i was jsut wondering how u get songs onto the phone and what kind of songs u can put on, for example songs u buy on itunes or songs from cds n stuff. i hav heard somewhere that u cant put ones on there from itunes but i just wanted to see what other people said. and also the bluetooth- does the bluetooth for this phone mean that i can exchange data with another phone

    • Good: slim look, love the camera, easy to use
    • Bad: battery doesnt last! when i plugged it into the charger, it took hours of fiddling around to begn charging, and the screen broke after 3 weeks!

    worst buy ever! i bought this phone, and after three weeks the LCD screen broke. i was just sitting on my couch, and i checked it and it was fine, then 5minutes later when i checked it the whole screen was black. i didnt drop it or anything! the only thing i can think of is that i must of leant on it. worst part is, its a $450 phone and warranty wont cover it!

      nice colour
      sexy

      eye catcher
      high reception

    I'm a 12 year old kid that just bought this phone as my 2nd, this phone is fantastic the only downer for me was the lack of expandible memory and that my batteru only lasted 2 days

    1 update to my comment below. The phone does have one additional con. There's a trick to getting the phone to charge properly on USB as it stops charging on most usb ports after about 5 secs. However, if you leave the pc suite backup application open on your desktop it will continue to charge normally. Annoying leaving the window open but really doesn't change my rating, still a great device.

    • Good: Ignore comments of bad reception, it's simply not true, this phone hasn't caused me one reception problem.

      Design. Gorgeous, best on the market!

      User Interface - simple, good at what you need it to do.

      Not packed with useless features that the device convergence believers would never use.

    • Bad: Not packed with useless features that the device convergence believers would want.

      Well I say go buy an ipod, a car with in dash gps and a digital slr camera and stick to things that are fit for purpose.

    Fantastic Phone! Best looking phone on the market.

    • Good: Looks nice
      Light weight, looks good
      1gig
      Bluetooth
      Media Player
    • Bad: Very grainy camera
      Battery charge required daily from day 1
      Poor mobile reception
      Poor sound
      Delicate combined battery/headph jack
      No ph volume control
      No car charger included
      No radio

    I had mine for a week and then it stopped charging. It confused the headphone with the charger (apparently common since its the same connection spot). It loses reception easily and the sound drops in and out when talking on it. Definitely for an SMS-er, not a TALKER. I also have to turn it on and off to get back reception even though I live in a high reception area!
