"A good phone"

What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?

Antenna is too poor, it can be damaged easily.

No reception without the antenna.

Face plates scratch so easily.

It wakes a lot of time to charge the battery.

The screen damages with time.

General comments?

This phone has a great signal strength, it's comfortable to carry, and has changeable face plates.

A really durable phone.

I have enjoyed this phone for over 4 years. I've had many opportunities to change to a newer phone, but I like the metal case and that the keys are not touching, but big enough to push with your whole finger tip.

It is true about the antenna. You just have to make sure that you keep a couple of spares on hand. I'm sure that other phones have some sort of problem too.

The battery has never been an issue with me. I keep two phones, with one charging while I use the other. The batteries are very easy to change. It takes a matter of about 5 seconds, slightly more when using only one hand.

I love this phone and am sad that it seems to be going out of style. I had a red metal casing which set it apart from others and unfortunately, my car was broke into last week, and my red cell phone with all of my 300 phone numbers ended up in someone else's possession.

I usually use about 5,000 to 6,000 minutes a month since I use this phone for everything. I pay all of my bills over the phone and do most of my personal business by phone.

Only two other minor problems with this phone that I found to be annoying, were the lack of lighting, which helps to not strain the eyesight, and reception inside certain buildings. This can be a problem with other cell phones, but I have seen a few that seem to have good reception in the same area and with the same company. Nokia seems to pull in good reception.

I really miss my phone though. Like I said, it was my companion on many trips and many occasions. I am now using a loaner phone that will never equal my v60ic.
