Older but wiser?
One has to stop and think when it comes to choosing a mobile phone, especially theses days, with so many available. I've had most of the good phones on the market and still i haven't been able to settle on one particular brand, or style. You gotta start by asking yourself what you want it for, apart from the obvious - making calls. I have an iPod, so i won't be using the MP3 player on this phone, although it is a good one. I have a 10 MP digital camera, so the 2 MP snapper on this phone will never be used for anything other than comedy snaps, or capturing the moment. Still, the camera here is very functional. The results are above average, good for most people, and the flash is adequate, although it's no xenon flash. The keypad is comfortable to text on, unlike so many these days. The screen is very clear at 2.4". It has stereo bluetooth, 3D games support, 2 cameras (one for video calling), and 2 screens. It has stereo speakers which sound amazing when the phone rings, or when music is played without the earphones. It runs on a series 60 Symbian operating system and is a fully functional smart phone. It is one of the first N series mobile phones from Nokia but it has all the standard features that we all expect, but hardly ever use.
The build quality is pretty good, but i've seen better on Nokia phones. It's fashioned with metal and plastic.
I've found myself travelling backwards regarding mobile phones, opting for older models with more about them - the chunky/heavier ones appeal to me more than the wafer-thin delicacies of today. It does the job, serves its purpose well and gives me no trouble at all. It's quite rare to find one now as it's out of production. I got mine on here at £159, although it has increased since!? If you want a good phone with most of the standard features, you could do much worse than this. Also remember it's Nokia, and it's good to buy European products. We are afterall European. The choice is yours.

IT'S GOOD, BUT........
I really wanted a good looking flip phone and when I saw this one I had to get it. Now, I can go on about how good it is, but it will just be me repeating what features it comes with. The downsides to having this phone are that it is very slow when you are trying to use the features as I find with most Nokias and also the memory card campartment at the back of the phone comes open when its caught and that 'sort of' resets itself, annoying, but a really nice looking phone nonetheless.
