Suhas Soanwane I have this phone from last 2 years and its very cool. I neveer encuntred with any problem.

Tara I have owned this phone since December '04 when it first came out in Australia. I purchased it to replace my Nokie 3315 which was a reliable phone. I must admit that this phone has lived up to the standards of its predecessor to this degree but there are many differences between the two.

PROS:
- Camera- yes photo quality is quite poor but what more would you expect from a budget, entry-model phone.
- Messaging Capability- This mobile is quite good for messaging. T9 prdeictive text is useful but can get annoying as few words people actually use are included, but if you are a quick texter this phone is ideal. You are able to send SMS and MMS messages as well as Flash messages also.
- Video Recorder- Reasonable quality but again what more would you expect from an entry model phone. Many other phones in this range do not have this feature.
- Individuality!- This phone is ideal if you want to stand out from the crowd. You are able to change the colour of the menu to various shades other than the standard blue, change the ringtones and wallpaper, there are many animated screensavers pre-loaded onto the phone and interchangable covers/cutouts make it stand out.
- Java Games- There are various games pre-loaded onto the phone so you do not necessarily need to go out and purchase new ones. They are easy to play and quite fun with the lights and sounds turned on.
- Lights and side grips- The lights are quite useful if you are in a loud area or have missed a call or received a message. The grips make the phone more stable and make it much easier to hold. Light functions are also able to be turned off.
- Memory- Common complaint of memory being an issue was not relevant in my case. At one time I held over 35 full size photos in my gallery as well as a couple of videos and voice recordings. At times it can be annoying if it is full and you are unable to delete anything at present but I have also held over 300 messages in my inbox on top of this so I believe it is quite good.

CONS:
- Battery Life- If you tend to spend quite a lot of time on the phone than the battery life may deteriorate quite rapidly. A 30 minute call will bring down your battery life dramatically.
- Phone turning itself off automatically- From the time this phone was merely 3 months old it began spasmodically turning itself on and off. This seems to be a common problem with this phone and at first I thought nothing of it. Often when this happens it will take quite a while to turn back on- if it does so at all, and sometimes I have lost details and photos on my contacts which is painful. This most commonly occurs while taking a photo, and is not due to temperature change or being dropped.
- Loss of Java Games!- I had only had the phone for a month at the most when two of my Java games became un-usable. They were totally erased from the phone and the selector turned grey when I scrolled to them. If I attempted to open the file my phone would again freeze and turn itself off.
- Side grips- They deteriorate rapidly over time due to regular use and initially turn yellow. After some time they then begin to peel which makes the phone look quite ugly and old but they can be purchased new to replace old ones.
- Covers- The standard Nokia cover becomes loose after time and often the rear cover will come off. New covers are able to be purchased new but the cost is not worth it when they too will loosen easily.

This phone is quite good as a budget model and is quite cheap to purchase. You are able to purchase the DKU-5 Data cable seperately to transfer photos and videos to you computer which is a bonus. It is a good phone if you just want something simple to use and will not let you down in that respect. If you look after the phone it will last you quite a while. I would recommend it to purchase but like any product, there will be a few that will not be as reliable as others.
