Date: 11 Oct 2005, 16:52 GMT | This is - at best - an average phone... lots of quirks and idiocyncracies to be irritating to use. (If you are used to a Nokia, you will be irritated by this phone...)
But the keypad and 4-way navigation key are excellent in use. The speakerphone is great and voice quality is good too.
Then, there is the push-button flip-open gimmick that sounds good on paper, but it's implementation is quiet poor. The bottom portion is light as compared to the top portion so one feels that it is really going to make a back-flip and fall on the floor!
The battery life is bad... |
