Phone has served me VERY well for 4 years with no maintenance. It has great battery life, good coverage even in weak signal areas, and has clear, easy to read display and large enough keys to be useful. Weakness is that it has always given the wrong time by 1 hour on vmail messages, and all the buttons on the outside of the unit cause problems if I am not careful what I touch when I pick it up to answer. Those buttons are seldom used except to turn off the ringer, but they do other things that must be related to the non-phone functions. Too bad they are not recessed.

Great phone for people who want a phone and not a toy. (For camera I use Canon Digital EOS. For computer I use HP Workstation and Dell laptop.) I use my phone as a phone, and have a hard time finding phones with specs as good as this one.

Note: Phones used as other devices are useless to far-sighted people unless they wear bifocals, since everything on them is way too small be of any value.

Bought this phone over 3yrs ago but have long-since replaced it. Have just given it to my 7yr old son as his 1st phone, as it v.basic & easy to use.
PS, i'm posting this msg using wi-fi on my Nokia N82, best phone on market at the mo!

Possibly the CRAPPEST phone I had.
1. The camera was crap
2. The "MP3" was crap
3. You could not download any videos
4. Hardly any features
5. No bluetooth
6. The IM was completely pointless

My LG Chocolate is MUCH better :)

This phone has about the best sound reproduction (bass and depth specifically) that Ive heard in a phone. Great 'mobile'!

In a few weeks, it'll be 3 years with this phone. I've only replaced the battery as I was only getting about 1.5 days of use out of it. Using Mobile Phone Tools with this phone, it was excellent. I used it in a remote eastern Canada Location for Internet access with my Laptop (No problem, albeit expensive!)
It worked perfectly in Dubai UAE, London England, Madrid Spain, the US and Central Mexico. I'm upgrading next month, ONLY because I want blue tooth. This phone has a lot of miles on it!

I have never lived with this phone so I can't tell you if it's good or bad. My mother in law loved hers, and let's just say it hasn't been pampered by her.

If you have Motorola's phone tools software and a data cable for one of the new RAZR's (as an example) it will work great on this phone! Nice if you upgrade and want to move your pictures and phone numbers over to your new Motorola whatever.

I love this phone. I have used it for a year. The overal, it is a useful phone. I can transfer photo easily to the computer by the USB cable, and also I could use this phone as a model to connect me trought the internet with the gprs tools. I also can transfer mp3 and 3gp video to this phone although with a limited file size. The battery is good. I can use it in 3 days for the minimum use. My phone is pink,.. nice color for me. The problem now, I am not able to hear the sound of this phone when I call someone or receive someone's calling. Yeah I know why it could be like that. This phone has dropped for several time from the table,. But it's still strong enough for the first time. Just now, the problems come out. So I have to use either earphone or speaker to the hear the voice. I still love this phone. I have tried to open the case and repaired it by my self, but no clue. Actually it is easy to be opened.,
