I exchanged my Panasonic GD60 for this small size beauty around 7 months back and it has been a mixed bag for me...


It is very rich in features, backlight is amazing and menus are user friendly. But the best that stands out is its voice clarity! I have till date used at least 20 different phones no body comes near this beauty. The other one that comes close is the oldie ericsson 315 (1997).


I didnt appreciate the phone that much till recently I bought a Nokia phone and then realised how good it was! You wouldnt even notice some user-friendly features that you take for granted. But it still doesnt beat Panasonic phones in terms of features


Flip side is: it has got lots of software bugs, try some shortcut on menus and you would end up somewhere else. The worst part is the ring tone... though it sings but it couldnt be heard whilst driving and its vibrator+ring feature doesnt work! A Big bug it is... and bugs me every time I ride my bike cos I forget to change it to vibration mode and then miss my calls :-|


other bad thing is the non-existing games... all of them suck! I wonder what un-imaginative team of developers have made them!


anyways apart those bugs... its a cool trendy phone...


One last feature:


backlight comes handy in parking lots, during powerfailures, finding keyholes, cinema hall seats, etc :)
