Pros: Mp3 player and phone in one!

Cons: Battery drains quickly.

I'm not a heavy cell phone user. In fact, I rarely use a cell phone at all except to get in touch with the wife and kids from time-to-time. So, I basically found this phone to satisify my needs because I don't have to carry around 2 units t...o listen to music and make that random call from time-to-time. Everyone complains about the battery life and rightfully so. It does burn up quicker than I previous phones I've had, but then again, I didn't use them very often because I rarely make calls. I use this often for the music player which is very good. Comes with a full gig of mini sd storage and it's upgradeable to a full 2 gigs which if more than enough for me. The ear piece on calls can be a little faint sometime so I find the hand-free option clearer for phone calls. Best thing about it is, everyone at my work thinks it's just about the coolest thing they've ever seen. I'm sure the next generation from Nokia will trump this model, but for now, it's the hottest thing on the shelf!!! Read more Less
