"Good if you charge your phone often"

What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?

The camera came with dead pixels in the camera (so when you take photos every-single photo or movie has white dots the exact same place). Mic for video mode records sounds poorly so when played back you can barely hear sound because it is so quiet.

Back case stratches easily.

Battery life is pathetic compared to my previous phone (6230i). It will only last you one day if you're lucky, if the camera is used or you ring a few people.

There is no fast foward or rewind function for watching or listening to any media on the phone.

General comments?

Great screen, camera is not bad for a phone, but not the quality of a real digital camera. Movie mode on the other hand is fantastic, as the resolution can be up to 640x480 at around 12-15 frames per second!

It comes with a small memory card. However you can buy 1 gigabyte or 2 gigabyte memory cards, which are sufficient.

Crystal clear quality when talking on the phone, buttons are placed in easy to use places. Even has a camera button, so when you hold it side ways, you can click it in a similar manner to a real camera.

Comes with some decent games and loads fairly quickly, even when the phone has 100s of highest quality pictures on there.

Sound quality from the speakers is very good, comes out very nicely and loud. Very stylish.

Overall a good phone, except for the battery life, camera quality and mic recording.

Good review. But there's an error, if you don't mind?

The fast forward/reverse function DOES work, when you select the back/forward arrows you have to press and hold it down, then in ~2 seconds the song will scan. I was happy to discover this, after reading everywhere that it couldn't be done.

I find the battery life is, yes unextraordinary, but I can take this phone to work, play my music on the Mp3 player non-stop for 7 hours, make roughly four 5 minute phone calls, and check my Email and the phone lasts me the whole day. I don't have a problem with that!

If there is a longer lasting battery on the market, I wouldn't be interested to tell you the truth.
