Overall

This 'phone' was ahead of its time. It's small, light, incredibly easy to use and has a battery that lasts forever. Apart from superbly intuitive usability (makes nokia look like a 'left hand throw') texting is incredible fast. After an hour or two you'll be as quick on this suretype keyboard than qwerty and twice as fast as a normal phone. The camera and music player are average but that's not the focus here. This phone for getting things done. There is no fiddling about. The email just works. The only thing missing is Wi-Fi (so you can make cheap VoIP calls) but thats just arrived in the 8120 - the next model up. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
