I have had this phone for almost 11 months, and can truly tell you that this is certainly not worth the money. Having received it as a free upgrade on my network after being on a waiting list for a while, I found it very difficult to recommend it anyone.The phone itself is sleek and has superb sound quality. The clarity of vocals is second to none, as Nokia really sets the benchmark. The music capabilities is also outstanding. However this doesn't really balance out the sorts of shortcomings this phone has.The ABSOLUTELY worst 'fault' with this phone is the battery life, please do not be fooled in to thinking that the battery will not become an issue, because it certainly will be. Do not expect to exceed past 1-2 days without a charge, even with minimum usage. Also, a design fault with the fragile charger unit means, they are very vulnerable to breaking, even for the most careful of owners.However, the battery life can be prolonged by switching off the '3G' functions, something many network providers make impossible through custom software.The second problem is the unreliability of the phone. It 'WILL' crash, during calls, after calls, this can become very exhausting and annoying.The slide function is also prone to opening itself in pockets which is also very annoying.If you are a patient person, then this phone might be for you, but at this price I certainly expected more from the handset.
