1. Awesome phone for the price

I don't know where this website gets the PAppeal data. I would definitely put myself in the High-Tech junkie category and I would give this phone an 8 or 9. I guess one could complain about the lack of a music player and whatnot, but I use this phone primarily for communication. The most awesome feature is the ability to install free J2ME/MIDP apps from the web. I installed midpSSH and use it to log into a linux shell where I can check my email, chat on IRC and monitor servers. Typing is a little slow, but what do you expect for a clamshell phone this size? When chatting on IRC, the predictive text really helps. I got this with a discount so it was free, and has everything I need in an attractive little case. I've seen people complain that the external screen is only black-and-white, but I couldn't care less about that since I don't see any good reason why I should have my clock in color.

Pros

Great price, good sound for calls, plays MIDI/MP3/AAC for ringtones, comes with web browser, can download J2ME apps, over two weeks battery life on standby, looks nice, predictive typing

Cons

No silly features like music player or camera, b&w external screen, combined data/power/headset jack
I once had a little glitch where I couldn't receive calls, but I blame AT&T for that, and not the phone.
