i've been using this phone for almost 3 years..

the fm is good.. battery is pretty bad.. i've reduced the brightness to nil and keep it in silent mode.. still battery lasts only for one and a half days.. the talktime is between 2 to 2 and a half hours.. the loud speaker is also not so good.. it restarts quite often when i message continuously for an hour.. sometimes the contacts in phone memory gets deleted and the phone settings go back to the assigned factory settings.. the keypad is pretty hard to press and produces sound which annoys me a lot..

my dad uses the same phone.. he too has the same problems.. but his battery lasts for about 4 or 5 days.. he never messages and talks for a maximum of 5 mins everyday..

i have been using this phone for 1 and half years now,
goods that can be highlighted
--its sound quality on earphone is good
--hanged only twice
--droped 8 to 9 times working fine only the back cover came off
--now in market there are many better phones available so this review may not help much

bads-theres a big list
--listening volume is too low for comfort
when ur in crowded place its too tough to talk
--keys makes sounds on typing ,annoying to others in a quiet place
--no search for contacts,only can search via letters
--hands free gets loose after repeated use,quiet trick problem
--sliver coating on the centre dial goes off in three months
--when u take the sim or battery out ,u loose all ur messages,this was very annoying,
--recently it makes a sound like terrrrrrrr when u dial a number n its not connected,it goes off imediately or it requires the battery to be removed[veery ocasionally but]
--battery i cant comment as i had the habbit of recharging it when it was half or only little bit empty
--currenty its 2days stand by,and 2hrs talk time continious,thats all
--fm goes for 6hrs continous
--better dont on the speaker,the battery vanishes quiet rapidly
--thats all folks

hope u liked it
now i will be shifting to w810i
as im a great music lover , n my preference is gd sound and capacity for my limitless colletion of songs with a bit camera work as well
have a nice day

> In reply to harry @ 2008-03-13 08:29 from 2ZpsYou got any answer from help center because I am also facing this problem.
Can you tell me about Battery Status?
Because talk time is Up to 6 h. But talk time is 1:30 to 2 h I am very disappointed.
