I have had mine since it first came out. Just brillient. However, recently, it has decided to 'go silent'. It rings OK, sms alert tone ok. BUT, if i make/receive a call i cannot hear the caller, and they cannot here me. Can anyone help?

Best phone I've ever had. Still have it after 5 years! Working perfectly. I am looking for a newer replacement though. Preferably clamshell with great keypad. Any suggestions?

I've had a lot of old cellphones (Siemens C35, A50, C45), and one old Samsung X-100, but for allready some time I use this cellphone and I must say that it is great! If I compare it to any of this old cellphones i see that this one is the best I have ever had.

I had used this mobile for some time, and I think it is the best phone I have used in its category. It is simple, stylish, rock solid and not expansive. If you want to have a phone for calling and messages, this is the best option. Keypad is fantastic to write SMS. In its category I rate this phone 9 stars.

I've had this phone since Feb 05, nearly 5 years!

This is a really solid phone and was a rare find for $300 outright at the time.

Great solid phone, I've dropped it many times with no problems. Kinda get sick of deleting SMS all the time because the memory is full. Other than that, this is a damn good phone. Sure it doesn't have good internet, camera, music, storage etc but that's what other devices are for. It does calls and SMS well and that's all I wanted.

The battery life is AMAZING, I charge it maybe once or twice a week, my wife's iPhone is on charge every night.

Looking for an upgrade soon, want to get a decent camera phone w/ 3g internet.
