The initial thought i got when seeing this phone was the: thin style.
Didnt even think about the features, which now looking back, is dim of me.
Bluetooth is good, camera is ok, but battery life? Really baaad. Within a day of listening to the mp3, battery would decrease, meaning recharging again. 26mb? Not very much, meaning at least 5 or so of very little memory.. Wish there were more memory space and a few more features. But a good phone overall. ^^

I've had the N412i version for over a month and love it. My one criticism is the ringtones as there are no simple "ring" ringtones.

My favourite ring tones are the old fashioned phone bell sound "ring ring" & "ring". I have these tones in wma format but the phone appears to demand mid format.

I'd appreciate any help on locating the 2 ringtones in mid format. (Quite loud also if possible.)

I use the "ring ring" for calls & the "ring" for SMS.

Any help much appreciated.

the battery totally sucks. if u use the MP3 player to play a couple songs, it uses up a 1/3 of the battery

Its gorgeous much better design than V3 imo. I hate V3s design but i like this one. Features are a little weak for me but its a very sexy phone.

is that 65k col? as compared to 260k col on the V3?

It seems like such a big step backwards...

Slimmest fone on the market,Nec's done well by trying to squeez a lot of gagets in such a small phone(Bluetooth-Mp3 player-1.3mpixel camera with video recorder,etc...),most importantly is the L1 doesn't leave the big hole in your pocket(bought brand new in Ebay.com last month for only AUd$450.00),the battery is not outstanding but ok(100hrs standby time and 90 minutes of talk time).In HK it's been selling very well and can't hardly get enough stock(still HK$3800.00)and still selling.If you're looking for something unique,good looking,reasonable price then the L1(called N412i in Oz)is the right fone for you...No wonder why Motorola had brougt out 2 more colors in the V3 version and the V3i will be coming out not very long after that(where is the V3x..??Mr Motorola...we're waitng..!!).

In da last month I have gone thru the Samsung D600, Z500, Sony w800i, and Nokia 8800, and personally I love this NEC over the rest for its looks, quality, ease of usuage, and features. This NEC phone has done well. And yes is made in Japan.

When I was trying to charge the battery, it said battery temperature is too high. Does anyone know why it is, what causes the problem and how can I fix it? Thanks.

L1 has no speakerphone. And if there's a coloured screen outside, it'll become thicker. But the font for the digital clock is nice and contemporary. Still, I like this phone because the pros make up for the cons.
