Since so may others have sung praises for this phone, let me be the one to point out its defects:
I have been using this phone for little over an year now - the rubber linning has already torn off(and I am one of those people who insist on mobile pouches and never go without it).
At times when I charge the battery, I keep getting the message - "Charging alien battery". And it takes much longer to charge once this message is displayed.
The phone switches itself on and off for no reason when it is being charged.
But dont be discouraged by all of this - it works really well when you buy it. But beware if you intend to take it out in the hot sun. The rubber lining could easily start getting loose and melting.
Its a great phone until the external rubber lining falls off - after that its’Goodbye W710i’.
