I liked this phone's appearance verymuch as it is so sleek and beautiful but it had very bad reception power.I have Nokia 6610 and I recently bought this Samsung E315. I used to feel Nokia 6610 had very poor reception of T Mobile (in my home) but this new E315 has worser than Nokia 6610.My recommendation : If you have a strong T Mobile signal in your area - It is the best phone to buy (ofcourse it does not have blue tooth & speaker phone).International (esp. INDIA) : For those people who wants to use it in INDIA - you can go for this phone as it runs on 900 MHz (which matches with AIRTEL / BSNL / IDEA ...). HUTCH can not be used as they run 1800 MHz.Also please check GSMWORLD.com for different International GSM carrier frequencies and compare them with the phone that you want to buy.
