I have been using this phone for about a year now, and I still think it's a great phone.
-The microphone pics up very well
-the sound quality is good
-reception is very good for an internal antenna.
I have owned a few different cell phones over the last few years and have become partial to Nokia because of the useful features they load in their phones, the good looks, and portable size of their phones.

My last phone had an external antenna and since I wore it on my belt, the antenna was always jabbing me in the side, so it's been a relief not to have that anymore.

This phone has proved to be durable as I sometimes drop it twice a day (on a bad day) but it has yet to show any sign of abuse in it's performance. If you drop it too hard, the faceplate usually takes the impact and slides apart a little bit, no big deal, just slide it back together.

While looks shouldn't be the primary focus in buying a phone, they are important, at least to me. Both the front and rear faceplates slide off so you can style your phone as you please. Faceplates havn't been too hard to find for this phone.

The battery life has always been up to my standards, usualy about 3 hours of talk time in a day. It's never been a problem running out of battery, as long as I charge it in the morning. If I don't use it much, I go a couple days before charging.

The phonebook holds 200 entries, stores the last 10 missed calls, received calls, and dialed calls, has over 40 ringers (and is capable of downloading ringers), a silent vibrating ringer (VERY useful in meetings), has 4 entertaining games, keygaurd, calendar, and if you have a lot of spare time on your hands- a ringer composer, and the most useful feature THE CALCULATOR! I love it, everywhere I go, I have a calculator! I would buy it just for that!

Now, the cons,
It sounds stupid, but I will never buy a phone again without a seperate Talk and End buttons. Instead this phone has a buttons that performs many functions, but it just gets to confusing especially when you are dealing with call waiting!! Most of the time though, not a bid deal.

And secondly, it would have been nice to have an external battery that is easier to change in a hurry. You have to remove the front and rear face plates to get the battery out. But it doesn't matter that much, it has a good battery life.

Overall, I am pleased with this phone. I paid about $90 for it, but that was when it just came out, the price has come way down in the last few months. It's worth a look.
