Customer Reviews

you can't go wrong with this - excellent all rounder
I have bought this phone after having a Nokia 6230 for about 3 years and loved that for it's easy to navigate qualities and robustness. This phone has surpassed my expectations. Best bits:

Screens: both are amazing - fantastic quality.

Camera: v. easy to use, night setting works well - you need this for indoor/low light setting to get good results

Shortcuts; the level of personal customisation is unbeleivable. you can change any of the top buttons to activate any feature you want, so you should not find this fiddly like the last reviewer said - just set it up how you like! NB, there is a loudspeaker option too, - the last reviewer mustn't have found that yet. Having played around with this, it is now set up so that it is the most user-friendly phone I have ever had.

Ergonomics - Beaut! So tactile and attractive I think. Buttons are a dream and the screen size is a pleasure - no more accidental mis-dialing with fiddly buttons. Phone is great size for your hand and slim enough to fit in any pocket - great combination.

Build quality is above average - good. Streets ahead of anything Motorolla makes. Ace little button pops the phone open for speedy answering - v cool!

Other features - I understand these are good, but I don't tend to use these so much. Accessability via Nokia's pc suite is good though.

Downsides - MEMORY!!! Internal memory is poor, - take it for granted you will need to buy a microSD card to go with this phone if you like music or taking pics, but these can be picked up for between £5-£10 delivered from here or ebay, so not too great a problem.

There is nothing else negative I can say. The buttons on the side the last reviewer refers to can be locked by the auto keylock so there is no accidental knocking of them in your pocket, he must not have found that out yet either, so contrary to what he said, there is no problem there - I find the keylock works perfectly.

I wholeheartedly recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a stylish, robust little camera phone that is easy to use. I love mine.

More than I expected
This phone is more than i expected it to be having upgraded for first time in nearly 2years.

Its small and fits into your hand well, but its not so ergonomic that it feels comfortable; it is slightly too long to feel like it really fits. Its nice and slim to fit down into those jeans pockets that never seem to fit even your wallet.

Outward apperance 4/5 - its slighly too long for my hands and has buttons at the side which are easily hit.

Screens - 5/5 both internal and outside screens are high resolution and the settings give you options to change screensavers etc.

Keypad/buttons - 4/5 keys nicely spaced apart and easy to push. Keys to the top are confusing to use after coming from one with only two and the middle one, kept sending msgs instead of going back a character.

Features - FM radio - I was in heaven when i found this had radio.. you have to have the earphones attached to it for an antena, but you can play it on loadspeaker.

They dont seem to mention anywhere, even on the Nokia site that this has speaker phone, another must have for myself, great for if you get put on hold, then you dont have to sit there phone against your ear listening for what seems like hours.

Bluetooth/infr-red etc all very useful.

This take extra SD memory for mobiles; whast little memory that there is on the phone is tiny, about 6/7MB.

There are 16 ringtones only which i found a bit disappointing, and some msg tones.

All in all a 4/5

Excellent Phone
Although I was sceptical of 'flip-phones', I have been very impressed with this mobile. I bought it mainly for its functionality and it hasn't failed to impress. The only things I don't really like about it is the Nokia music player software which is a bit basic and the headphones (which are Nokia and not a standard jack). The wires are a bit short and like a spider's web and I expect replacing them would be more expensive than standard headphones.
The instructions are a bit vague on what transflash/sd cards will work with the phone, but I am using a 1GB Sandisk Micro SD card which works fine.
