  Summary: I have had this phone for almost two years and it has been very abused. I am an outdoorsman who has worked doing construction type work on and off since I got it. I have Been with this phone in the rain, I have dropped it 12 feet onto concrete (with no case!) and it has just been abused. I am very happy with this reliability!
  
  The phone itself is glitchy and a pain to use sometimes. It freezes and has been known to reset itself and erase all my contacts. This has happened multiple times. The touch screen is so so and not great. Menus are average. If multiple apps are open the phone is sluggish.
  
  I primarily use this phone for texting and am happy with the texting on this phone. It works, I am used to it and find it very nice. The camera works very nicely and takes excelent pictures. Emails are ok, I use the feature to check and see if I have emails and to read them, but not much else.
  
  Overall, I would recommend this phone to anybody who will put it through a lot of abuse and who isn't too concerned with having the fanciest phone. This phone comes off as bare bones and minimalistic. I like that, other people won't. I do not regret having used this phone for the last two years.

  The phone is a good eye catcher,but disapointed overall

  by brettebowser on June 30, 2010

  Pros: very good media player, quick easy screen locking, wi-fi, good quality pictures, comes with 8gb micro sd, quick texting, easy media transfere from computer to phone, standard headphone jack

  Cons: worst speaker for playing music, poor durability, dust particles got under screen, poor movement sensitivity and slow transition, difficulty finding personalized settings (not a standard userfriendly nokia), poor option for vertical texting

  Summary: This is not a standard nokia. I think nokia must have outsourced it to China because it is not userfriendly at all. The touch screen it poor. I guess all ...

  Summary: This is not a standard nokia. I think nokia must have outsourced it to China because it is not userfriendly at all. The touch screen it poor. I guess all the beginner touch screens aren't heat sensative. Why they call it a smart phone I don't know. I would discribe it as a nice looking music phone that has a touch screen. (but they failed on the speaker, i guess they expect everyone to use headphones all the time, even that is not very loud)

  Disappointing

  by marissanunziata on February 17, 2010

  Pros: It's got some good features like adding regularly used numbers to the main screen. You can text call those chosen nice and quickly.

  Cons: Hard to find features, hard to work out how to use features even with manual guidelines.

  Summary: I bought the phone because I wanted to use email, instant messaging, and do some other things that I couldn't do with my older Nokia phone. Although I know ...

  Summary: I bought the phone because I wanted to use email, instant messaging, and do some other things that I couldn't do with my older Nokia phone. Although I know this phone can do those things, try actually doing them on the phone! Its near impossible to work it out and the manual doesn't really give enough details to be of any use. So not terribly pleased with this phone.

  Summary: no any good games. buggy browser, hangs after i watch one video in youtube or after loading homepage of facebook. the auto rotate sensor is funny. camera quality and video quality is 1/10. i am totally ripped off. worst phone ever i have. blackberry / iphone were much much better.
  I dont recommend anyone to buy this. If you buy you will be another victim.
