There is good Nokia quality here. I find this to be a very nice phone. The reception is very good, both in remote rural areas & in buildings. The sound quality is excellent, both spoken & heard. The screen is bright, colours good, & images sharp. The functionality is first class - it is very user friendly. I have not used the MP3 player or FM stereo. The pictures are marginal, but okay for what they are (little phone pictures! ). The speaker phone works well. The phone itself is solidly built without being bulky or clunky. The battery holds a good charge, with standard use of texting & phone calls it lasts me about 4 days, standby is considerably longer. It charges quickly, in about 1.5 hours. I would certainly recommend this product.

Lovely little phone, ideal for first time users as the menus are simple & easy to use. It looks gorgeous as well, very sleek & ideally sized to fit into a pocket or a small handbag. I can't fault it.

Wanted a basic, good sound quality, quad band phone & as a bonus for me are the additional rudimentary features such as camera, video, etc that I'll probably never use. Transitions from Wi-Fi to GSM to Wi-Fi well. Tried others & bought this one as the sound quality impressed me.

Look it's just a phone to go with your calls in & out. For best pictures N95 needed absolutely. The rest works well. It's not the best, but a rather good phone. Liked it & going to use for a while.

I use to own a high-resolution with my mobile phone. There is no mobile phone with good optics.

What I wanted was a good mobile phone that can work as a phone. This thing comes through. Not only can it act as a portable music/video player it also get good radio reception, works like a charm over Wi-Fi (saving you $ & giving you perfect coverage in your home) gets FM radio. & just plain works.

It has a Micro SD port. I can just swap the card between my real player & this thing. Useful for when I really just want to take one device. But a dedicated music player is obviously always going to do its job better.

It does not have the best screen. The outside screen could have been better. But whatever. Does the job & does it well.
