Detailed review
Pros: Lengthy battery performance, tough construction survives clumsy owner, great reception. The QWERTY keyboard is much quicker than a touchscreen interface. Big buttons on the outside.

Cons: Bulky. Almost same size as a cordless home phone. The headphone jack is too small for standard headphones. 2 megapixel camera is a joke. Volume levels on video playback range from Insanely Loud to Annoyingly Loud to Still too Loud to Mute... with nothing in between.

Mine is 3 years old and is showing it's age. Sometimes I lose video data stored on my SD card. Sometimes the phone shuts off on me when I'm taking a video at full zoom. But when I need to make a call, it's still in tip top working order.

Overall, this phone has won a place in my heart for it's steadfast performance. I'll probably re-purpose it for something once I upgrade.
