This is a phone that came out about two months ago now, and I think I have put it through the hoops. Its a really good phone but with a few kinks to work out.

Positives:

• Strong signal
• Bright and large screen
• Extremely good web browser
• Very load speaker
• Very good pictures
• Lots of tools
• Very versatile information for contacts
• Long battery life
• Very light for size
• Good buttons and joystick
• Multimedia player is very good, and slideshow for pictures is very good.
• Sms stored on Mini-SD so it can be moved
• No limit on number of SMSes and Contacts. I havent reached the limit yet and Im at 867 messages with 483 contacts.
• Keypad lights up only in the dark. (Light Sensitive)

Negatives:

• Slow to load sms or mms menu (new or to read)
• A bit slow to open contacts
• Freezes if you try too many things when its running slow
• Multimedia loads a bit slow as well
• Bluetooth needs to be adjusted, it seems not one to connect after a few times. Then you have to restart it to get the Bluetooth working again.

Overall I think its a great phone, but I wish it wasnt slow for sms and contacts since its the two things that I use the most. So its a bit frustrating when I have to send a quick sms, and if you try to force it then it will hang even more. But I think if it gets a software upgrade maybe they worked on that part. If the software improves I would bump it up to 4 stars!

Price: 143 KD
