I've been stuck with this phone for almost 3 years. Worst mistake I've made. Pros: - Color screen - Easy to use - Basic features (calculator, scheduler, alarm, etc). - Easy to find contacts - Looks nice Cons: - No video camera (only still images) - No way to turn off shutter sound of camera - NO ...
