Cons: camera quality
Opinion:
I bought the phone at the IT show. The color is a cool red with white.

I definitely think the 1st review of this product definitely did no justice to this phone when the reviewer is not even an user.

Talking about this phone, it has excellent mp3 functions. With a B&O equaliser built in for the 3.5mm jack. Music quality is pretty good. The other side of the slide is a really cool way for you for music control. There's also a speaker for you to blast your music. I would say the quality is pretty good as well.

I was comparing this phone with the N81 2GB prior to that. In terms of features, the i450 is definitely no where near the N81. No games is pre-loaded and there's no wifi for this phone. But in terms of price, there is definitely a significant differences. I was checking out a hp store in suntec just yesterday and found out that 2 years plan with Starhub is only $98. So that more than a $150 cheaper for the i450.

However, all I wanted is a phone with excellent mp3 quality, and I think the i450 has met my standard. In terms of build and quality, I would say that the i450 is better than the N81, the buttons is really nice for texting.

I have been a Nokia all my life, so I would say that this is essentially a Nokia phone as it's using the S60 software. And I believe I read somewhere that the software loaded on the i450 is newer and improved as compared to the N81. So far it has been pretty stable and fast.

There's also a google quick search for you to utilise the
3.5G network.

The camera quality is however average, I am never a photo whore though, and I seldom take photos. So that's fine with me.

Overall I would say that I am very satisfied with this phone for it's excellent music quality, stable Nokia software and also price.
