    The worst phone. 1/10!

    Not worth half the money

    • Good: OK looks
    • Bad: it has dismal memory available, small keys that are hard for texting, costs a bundle and doesnt even have half the features of any Samsung slider phones! Nokia really needs to either decrease the proces of their phones or add WAY more features!

    Its like the Ferrari in Ferris Beuller's Day off

    Its like Ferris Says "If you have the means, I highly recommend it"

    • Good: Design, Function, Quality and style.
    • Bad: Battery Life.

    Its a lush looking phone!

    I love the look of this phone. It looks sleek & sophisticated, however When i'v been looking at it on the internet it seems very pricey even thought it has quite a few flaws (small keys, crap battery, ect.) But it doesnt bother me because at the moment im stuck with an even worse phone! So i cant wait to get this one!!

    For Attention Seekers

    Sif ud waste $1000 on a phone! You could buy a way better multi-functional phone for that price. This phone is over-priced because of its looks only. If you're the type of person who seeks attention, then buy this phone. If you are a smart shopper dont get this phone.

    looks good thats about it!!

    I only got this phone because a) its looks hot b) I got it at a damn good price, less than half the RRP as I am a preferred customer with my mobile service provider and c) because i used to own a PDA and this time I just wanted a phone with a calendar and nothing else. I soon found it to be not as good as money can buy and unless you got spare cash lying around or can get it dirt cheap i wouldnt bother. The battery life sucks, im recharging basically every night, but on the plus side you do get a charging station with two batteries but who wants to keep changing batteries each day. My previous PDA the batt life would last for 4 days, this is terrible. My previous PDA at sonyericsson P900 is still betta value for money than this and that phone is over 2 years old.

    Like it!

    I wanted a phone (not a PDA or a mobile NASA control centre) with a basic camera (needed for work) and a cover to prevent keyboard accidents without having to lock the keyboard all the time. Looks great, feels great, works great.

    To turn the volume up - just make a call and scroll right! easy as that.

    As a free upgrade on our business account - seems like a fair price to me.

    No complaints - does what it says on the tin.
