Great Phone

Signed up for T-mobile, and got two of these for my wife and I. So far the phone has provided every function I needed and then some. The only thing missing is a camera, but I didn't want one, so no problem. I was looking for a phone that would easily sync up with my work laptop (so I would stop missing meetings) and this phone does it incredibly easily and quickly.

PROS

Small, lightweight, large enough buttons to easily dial, PC Sync. Just download a program (free) from the Nokia website, and you are off. If your computer has infrared, then this is really easy. If not, I know that they sell a serial cable. I was able to load my entire contacts, and 4 months worth of my calender (1 back and 3 forward), and only use up ~60% of the phones memory.

The Nokia website also gives you cool programs to load sounds and pictures to your phone. Putting my kids faces on my phone only took a few minutes (one thing you need to do is to reasonably reduce the picture size, or the program won't even load the image.)

The phone list can be organized by groups (i.e. work, friends and family), and the phone will ring according to the person calling.

One neat feature is the timed "profile" setting. What this does is let you put the phone on silent for a pre-determined amount of time and then automatically revert to normal.

The color screen is nice and easy to read.

The speaker phone works great, and although clumsy at first the ear piece works great too. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE CLEAREST SOUNDING PHONE WE HAVE EVER HAD. PEOPLE DONT BELIEVE WE ARE ON CELL PHONES.

In summary, I really wanted a phone that I could sync up to my PC and have my calender handy. This phone does this EXTREMELY well. The phone can handle recurring appointments from every day, week, month or year.

Phone has currency exchange, units converter (i.e. length, mass, temperature etc.) a stopwatch and separate countdown timer.

CONS:

If I have any issues with the phone they are minor:

The case feels a little cheap (although you could say that it makes it really lightweight). I know that you can buy new cases, although I am sure that they will be the same grade of plastic.

The backlight goes off really quickly, which is kinda annoying, but certainly tolerable.
