T-Mobile Service
This phone operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks for global voice roaming. It’s also one of T-Mobile’s first handsets to use its new 3G UMTS/WCDMA network (1700/2100 MHz), allowing you to download ringtones and games, send photos and videos to online albums, access high-speed color Internet sites, and email quickly while on the go. Where UMTS isn’t available, the handset will automatically connect to T-Mobile’s EDGE network.
This phone also includes compatibility with T-Mobile’s myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts–on any network, even landlines–without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves from T-Mobile.
Download cool new games, HiFi Ringers (real songs by today’s hottest artists), MegaTones (instrumental versions of songs), and wallpapers quickly, as well as stay connected via the Web, instant messaging, and email. And share pictures and video easily with T-Mobile’s My Album. You can add picture, voice, and video messages from your T-Mobile camera or video phone using the My Album link built into the send menu or by using a simple short code. You can also upload pictures, video, or sound from a home computer.
The 1.3 megapixel camera features a 6x digital zoom, dedicated camera keys and camcorder quality video. |

I love this phone. The screen is very large and bright. The mp3 player and radio were huge attractions for me. I find that the menus are pretty customizable to my liking too. This is the best phone I’ve ever had.

Great battery life, easy to hear. It is a phone, a great phone. It is not a camera, it is not a word processor, it is not a computer, it is a phone. It does not sing for you, it does not dance for you, it is a phone.

I’m surprised to see so many bad reviews for this phone. I’ve been using mine for about a year now and really like it. I’ve always used flip-phones only (this probably my 6th or 7th) and I like this one the most overall.
The good -
* Excellent main screen and bright enough to be useful even in sunlight.
* Nice large and esay to use buttons.
* Has full outlook sync capability over bluetooth (a really big plus for me).
* Easy to use interface.
* Decent voice quality and signal retention (though I’m using it with ATT).
* Even the external screen is pretty good.
* Battery life (contrary to what other reviews have noted) has been decent on my phone.
The bad -
* I would definitely prefer if it was shorter and slightly thinner (width is perfect IMO).
* The music player, even though just about works, is not something I would buy this phone for.
* Camera is below average by today’s standards.
Even though this phone does not hold a candle in terms of features to the new phones out there, it is the best fit I can find for my needs. My average use of the phone is about 2+ hrs of talk time daily (most of it using bluetooth headset) and periodic syncing with outlook over bluetooth. So it also serves as my calendar and alarm-clock. With this usage, the battery lasts easily 2 days, sometimes 3. The voice quality is decent (loud and clear) and even the speaker phone is quite usable (though not in noisy places), no complaints about either, though I have only used it with ATT.
The external screen accidentally got cracked recently (my mistake) and I have decided to get this phone again. I was hoping by now there would be something available which has all the things I like about this phone but a bit smaller, but unfortunately couldn’t find any.

I only give this phone 1 star because it powers on when I want it to.
Calls echo, batteries die way too quickly and overall it fells way too cheap.
Very discouraging considering previous Nokia products I have owned.
