This is not the latest phone in the market but i would buy it again. I never did like flip phones and that's why this phone was appealing to me. Straight and thin and actually feels very sturdy. Almost like metal and not cheapo plastic. Main features that i like, quad band... so i can use it anywhere in the world, great bluetooth (syncs with my handsfree and gps), as well as has one mini usb connector for car, home, and computer conenction. This is great because now all i need is one cable to charge and connect all my gadgets.. camera, gps, phone...Do not buy this if you need a music player, good camera, or internet access. THere are much better products out there.This phone is trendy enough to be cool but not too fashinable that it's uncool. It's understated.
