in the evening went to hang out with freinds.they liked the phone and wanted some pics to be shot to see the the clarity.it boasted of a 1.3 megapixil camera,and te picture quality was great .clicked some photos and made a slideshow out of them ,added a tune and gave a theme.

i was free in the night ,so tried to load some music and applications on the phone from my pc.connectin it with the pc through bluetooth was a piece of cake,transferred some mp3 and some software.mp3 songs worked just fine with good quality,sound.

[Nemesis]

well, i wouldnt call this a review...it's more like a list of the features this phone offers...u can make it much better if u include personal experience, price, and pix...

[drgrudge]

Yeah man add some pitures taken off this phone...
and tell me two things:
1. How is the speakers, is it stereo and how is mp3 playing?
2. Wht about the kepad? I heard it was not good, (thou darklord says it's good)
3. Price?

and one more thing..., it's bulky phone as 3660/7600

[abhi_shake]

Man that's the most comprehensive review i have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!! The phone seems cool but Sony K 700i is much better.

[dr.death]

well pix will be there in an hour and as for the price it's in the ENDof the review,last line before photo,the phone is not so bulky ,the keypad works fine and ull be adjusted to it in about 2 days,as for the speaker it's stereo and the mp3 plays COOOOOLLL!!!!

[allajunaki]

Dude... A few Corrections...
Phone's FM is stereo,
Mp3 Playback is mono.(So is all the builtin phone sounds...)


Screen is brilliant... Very Vibrant and rich.
Keypad ergromics is a big question.
Phone doesnt feel bulky, or heavy.
