Just bought the phone today so not really up to date on everything but I have so far found everything really good & easy to use & understand. The only problem I have is that is it very quiet with the ring tones, I really need a louder ring tone for messages & calls but I will have to get used to it now I've bought it, we've had the sound up to 10 but that as far as it goes.

I think that this phone looks quite flashy, rather than a nice good looking build. The features are great. Personally, I think that all you need on a mobile phone is a couple of games, video camera, adequate talk time & standby time. I think that the ANALOGUE clock is unnecessary, a digital one would look best, after all it is a mobile, not a clock.
