Pros: Accessories out the a**, downloadable ringtones, messaging & basic email

I had a 5120(identical almost to this phone) as my first phone, and I missed it so bad that I got a new one, well as close as I could find anyways which was the 5165. This is a great "no-brainer" phone suitable for first-timers with good basic features. Plus- the accessories! God it has got to have the most accessories of any phone on the planet. I have a whole shoebox full of faceplates, batteries, spare parts, antennas(I actually found a blue light-up Hello Kitty antenna for this one), etc...and I actually found a purple backlight for it which looked cool as hell. But since I got my camera phone, I'm passing this one on to my mother who desperately needs a phone that wont die on a daily basis. I'll miss it though, for a basic cell phone, it couldn't be beat.
