The good: Multiple video and music functionality; strong build quality; Bluetooth; crisp and sharp LCD display; external music and imaging controls.

The bad: No expandable memory; average battery life; weak flash illuminator; slow USB1.1 transfer.

The bottom line: This feature-packed clamshell will appeal to everyday commuters with its numerous music-playing and image-capturing capabilities. It is, however, somewhat handicapped by its limited onboard memory.

Good phone!

Jun 9, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: vivid lcd, good mp3, easy to use buttons, bluetooth, compact design
Cons: short battery life, no date or time for texts sent, USB1.1, no expansion slot
Opinion:
I bought this mainly because of its clamshell design. I have been using candybar phones for the past 10 years (from another manufacturer). So far, I am very happy with it and have no regrets in buying this new baby of mine (but I hope they do something about having no date or time text messages were sent).

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: The size, the looks and the bright display!
Cons: Limited On-board memory and not-so-bright flash
Opinion:
I have this phone and aside from the limited on-board memory (well pc connection is possible anyway) and the not-so-bright flash (on this, there's nothing I can do), I think this clamshell phone is just perfect. Just to comment on people saying they can't connect it to their pc, what the heck are you doing? install the software click the pim manager app and click the file manager button. That's it! It's so simple. I surely like this phone so i don't have plans of changing just yet. Maybe in the near future with the likes of this phone, plus 3g, addt'l pixels, strong flash and external memory.
