Great phone let down by clumsy interface - 09 Jul 2004

Was forced to update from my Nokia 6120 when I lost it :( and was initially disappointed with the clumsy interface in comparison with the Nokia. For instance, there are no assignable shortcut for the voice mail and some of the function requires about 3 steps to go to. Also it's a shame that I cannot change the facia as the phone casing can be easily scratched. Having said that, in general there are more good points then bad and it's glowing on me. It's a compact phone that is extremely pocketable (unlike some thick clamshell phone I have seen that sticks out of your pcoket) and has a great clear screen. The keys are great for texting - raised and with enough spacing so that you don't hit two keys at once. It also has Bluetooth and IR so syncing against laptops and PDAs is no problem. No complaints with reception either (I'm on Orange) - rarely do I get no signals. The model have been updated since but I think it can still hold it's own against some of the (generally more expensive) competition.
