An excellent phone!

NeonDancer has owned it for more then one year before publishing this review

This is a smashing phone if there ever was one! I've had this phone now for OVER three years and will probably mourn it a bit once it gets retired in favor of my Christmas present. So slim and sleek, it blows people away to this day when I show them. Then they usually die a little inside when I offer them a mobile internet speed race and I smoke their hot new Droid or iPhone. It shows very little wear and tear, just a little cracking in the center circle key. The battery cover disappeared about 6 months ago, but I was asking for it cause I always played with the cover. It's held together with tape right now, but I still love it. Average reception, but calls are pretty clear. Camera can be hit or miss, not ideal if you're taking live shots of a hyperactive musician live, but if you aim at the keyboardist, drummer, or other stationary object, it's golden. I've seen the battery hold out for a week with moderate use too!

Small and nice.

I'm sure there's better choices for some out there, but I love the size and format of this phone. The keys are tight and not the greatest for texting, im'ing and irc'ing but not impossiable to use.

On balance a very good phone for light carry, best I've seen. One has to understand the size and the 3g hsdpa before comparing to larger footprint phones with bigger screens and larger capicity batteries they can support.
