Supremely functional, eye-catching phone - questionable durability

Pros:Sleek style, intuitive functionality
Cons:LCD lifetime/durability questionable
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this phone to anybody, but I would warn them of the LCD issue that doesn't seem to be uncommon.

I have loved using this phone. Not only is it very intuitively functional - from the menu options to text messaging - but it is very eye-catching. I love people's reaction to first seeing it. Many times they will ask if it's the phone from the Matrix. The fact that it is not too widely used makes you feel like part of an elite club as well. Unfortunately, the LCD screen started flickering after only about a year of use. At times, the whole screen goes blank. Several other people I know had this exact same problem. I sent it back to Nokia, and they informed me that it was a $120 repair. Kind of a bummer since I paid almost $400 for the thing already.

Recommended: Yes


Amount Paid (US$): $375
