I have had this phone since its first released sometime in 2002/2003. Until today (2005), this phone still works as great as it was a brand new phone. The only thing that disappoint me is the infra red port (irda). I know how to activate it but I still do not know whether it is capable of anything, like sending and receiving data.Other than that, this phone has gone around many places in the world with me: China (mainland), Hongkong, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia.With T-Mobile great service. This phone is truely a world phone.
