great phone, but depends

It's an overal good phone. Call quality is great, photos look good and the way it handles media is awesome too. The design is really nice and feels sturdy. I just didn't like how it randomly shut off on me for two days on and off but it doesn't do that anymore.

A lot of people complain about the keys, but in my opinion, I think they're good enough. Unless of course you're used to a bigger keypad or even a QWERTY keyboard. This is only for people who don't live off texting and don't need too much, although it does have a lot of extra features.

Pros

Screen, battery life, design, media program, interfacem customizability, call quality, 3G, camera, navigation array, soft back, micro sd card slot is on the outside

Cons

Randomly shuts off sometimes, no usb cable included, speakerphone volume isn't that loud

Great phone but not for me

This phone is great...good display, lots of features, etc.  But I just wanted to post this in case there are any other people out there that need all the features of this phone and have arthritis in your hands and wrists.  The buttons are rather difficult to push and my hand gets swollen after about 2 texts. It's also not very easy to hold in one hand while texting, you need your other hand to support the pressure from pushing it.

Again overall this is a great phone and someone that has no issues with small hands or pain will love it. I LOVE it I just wish I could keep it. 

Pros

Great festures for the price
Sleek design
Good size display
Good graphics

Cons

Butons hard to push
Menu and T-zones buttons VERY small
Not great for one-handed texting

Pretty good phone for the price

I got this phone when my Blackberry Curve decided to say "call failed" after every 45 seconds while I was on it, so I picked up an ericsson. It's really a good phone for the price although it is lacking an outter screen. The reception is awsome and is a really good media phone. The only problem that I have run into is the connection to my computer via USB. About once every 2 weeks I have to reinstall the PC suite because it says, "your device has malfunctioned."Another problem that I have run into is the pop up screen for messaging. Sometimes it will just stop working and I will have to turn the phone off then back on again to get the pop ups back, but that's just a minor issue, cookies probably full or something. I have used many many many phones on t-mobile and this is still probably one of my favorites.

Pros

excellent sound quality
excellent media player
awesome screen quality
decent browser for a flip phone.
reasonably priced
3G

Cons

no 3.5 jack
computer connection errors frequent
screen quality has to be on 50% to save battery
pop up window for texting failure
