CNET Asia Review

The good: Contoured; clean lines; sits beautifully in hand; 3-megapixel camera with autofocus; feature-packed for its size; solid build quality.

The bad: No flashlight; headset port awkwardly positioned; sound quality affected by speaker vibration; so-so camera snaps.

The bottom line: It's simple to use, it's elegantly tiny, it has real buttons, and it's no small fry in the features department. Oh, yes, it doesn't look like any Samsung or any designer phone out there for that matter. What's not to like?

I saw this phone at a shop window and thought it would make a perfect "secondary phone" for my other line. It looked great, somehow different than its stablemates. Oddly appealing. So I took a closer look at it and to my surprise, it had a 3.0MP auto focus camera!!! I thought camera phones with that resolution only came standard with higher-priced products from other manufacturers!

Ok, so I was surprised about the camera, so imagine how surprised I was to know that it was also expandable in terms of memory, had bluetooth (A2DP!) and a host of other surprising features!

Bottom line:

This phone rocks! I think it does well for what it's made to do. Moreover, I think this phone is meant to "compliment" not compete with phones ABOVE its price range. It's ... Read more
