I purchased the phone last week in exchange with Sony Erricsson T 230. The phones’ reception is strong enough for weak network like Dolphin. Earlier I could not get good reception with sony T 230. The down side is WAP and date display. The Nokia has improved a lot in looks department and key pad lock. The keypad is excellent and big enough for your finger size. The software is fast. Overall the phone is good as a first colour phone.I think Nokia could have offerred more in this phone.I earlier used Alcatel. The Alcatel phones are good but their marketing and service network is poor. I first time tried this Nokia and I liked the quality. The battery life is also goodf. I have to charge it every two days. The amzing thing about this phone is its software speed. They have also done away with swith off button on the top (3310, 3315).
