+ This phone has good points all round, except for one issue?

- The one issue is, pressing the centre button to access the menu? When trying to do this you end up pressing the left and right nav. keys. This centre button is not friendly to different sizes of thumbs!

+ being of the older generation, and not that technically minded, I found it quite easy to use. Overall a good looking product

- for me and this is probably true of all mobiles the light goes off on the keyboard too quickly, but that may be an age thing, mine not the phone

+ its nice and compact brilliant camera e mail feature listening to music

- it does"nt have vibrate only

+ navigation logos easy to understand ,being a newish user ,and the keypad has a firm feel so you know ,screen bright and clear

- early days but the battery does not seem to last too long

+ i love the design of the handset, especially the shape! the sound quality is really good and i love that i can use a memory card up to the size of 2GB. my chosen mobile phone tariff has some great features.

- the "Nokia PC Suite" software for use on a computer does not work well so i have not been able to back up my contacts and calendar to my computer. i have managed to put music on the phone by treating it like a removable hard drive.

+ Great all round phone bought it for my son for the music... He loves it and it holds quite a lot of music... It has a lovely slim casing... can't find any faults yet the battery lasts 24hrs which I find is pretty good considering he plays a lot of music on it!!

- None so far

+ Most of the things in your Best Thing list

- battery life

+ unique design, free maps, good music phone

+ Neat and well appointed

- Battery life

+ has everything you need eg phone,camera, music player and radio and its all good and efficient and very easy to operate.Unfortunately if using functions constantly the battery seems insufficient. however its style and multi-functions and my own purchasing price way over rides the battery shortcoming

+ It looks amazing and it's excellent value for money! The camera is of high quality and so is the music player, plus the games are pretty good.
Its easy to use and the keys aren't too small so texting fast isn't a problem. I've had it for too weeks and compared to my old Motorola it's brilliant, i couldn't be happier with my choice and I would recommend it too anyone who wants a good quality phone, don't expect too much from it though, you have to remember it isn't the latest blackberry!

- It's battery life isn't perfect it lasts about 3-4 days on standby but using media and playing on games drains it quite quickly. It also doesn't have vibrate only which is a tad annoying but apart from that it's perfect!!
