Fairly good phone, however, when writing texts the message usually ends up being saved in drafts or deleted all together if you press the red stop button instead of the one wanted above(delete). If you have not put the number in then the message will be deleted instead of saved to drafts which is a pain. It is a pain anyway to go then to the menu and messages etc to find it and continue.

Other than that, a fairly good phone, maybe it is a bit quiet, I don't seem to hear it that well, well I do not like it to loud anyway. I like the fact it has a big memory card included and you don't have to fiddle about with a separate one or buy one.

It was more expensive to go on the O2 network with this phone than to go with Orange. The little speaker you get with the phone is good for tunes out and about and the inbuilt radio and MP3, phone, video etc.

You have to convert the video online though which is a pain and the conversion is not great quality. (I found a site to do it otherwise it is not easy I do not think). People seem to like this phone, I get good comments from my friends about it and I like the hands free speaker phone although sometimes find it hard to switch on when in a call.

I am glad I got it though, I think it is good value for money, however, you can get the same features now nearly for a quarter of the price eg a £20 phone where as I paid £85 for mine all in on the O2 network. I am happy with the O2 network especially now I get unlimited texts for topping up £10 a month.

Great slimline phone with good music features, although it does often crash and reset when playing music - having to rebuild the music database.

Camera is fine, although there is no flash which limits usability. Overall, as a phone - which is what it is what is supposed to be - its a great slimline performer.

The cosmetic design of the phone is excellent, however the features are sadly unreliable. The applications and gallery take too long to load and the microSD card features are prone to failure. The phone has excellent sound quality and an easy to use music-player interface, it's a shame that not many songs can be stored on it due to the afformentioned microSD fault.

It is a very good phone but can freeze and cracks easily. The music quality on speaker is ok but compared, newer Nokia's are alot better! It comes with all basic things you need and has an impressive video player on it. Sadly there is no light source on it. In general I think this is worth the £40 I paid for it.

Easy to use and looks ok, the music buttons on the side can be annoying as they can get knocked in the pocket. I had a bit of trouble using Nokia Music manager to add music. Music can be played very loud straight from it which may be useful to some, fits nicely in the pocket, barely know its there.
