I like this phone alot. I have always owned plain Nokia's and decided to get something that looked cool. This phone has three way calling which comes in handy. You can record a voice record and take pictures of friends for picture calling id. It is magenta (t-mobile). The color does not scratch off at all. I have noticed that sometimes it turns off (weird) when it is about to lose power. The battery charge does seem to be very short. I thought it was wierd that T-mobile offered to sell me an extra battery right away - it was one of the first optional accessories.
