SNAKE II is the only good thing about this phone
read the title. the game SNAKE II is the best thing this phone has. everything else i'd vote off as cons.
Been a while I had it
Let's see, it has been for over four years I had this phone. Was overall pleased with it. With it's greatest disadvantage its size.
But, I live in europe and had the european version with the "matrix and it was unbelievable fun. And you think it would break down fast... Nokias were a lot better build than those days...
Frustrating Service
Was planning to originally buy the Nokia 8290, but saw this and "had to have it". I think my problems were not just the phone, but also Cingular's crappy service in the SF Bay Area. I have used this phone in Chicago, Phoenix, Denver and Montreal without any problems. In San Francisco, I have calls constantly dropped and others complain that the sound quality sounds like I am underwater. That Cingular stopped selling this phone after 2 weeks should be an indicator. And Cingular will not replace the phone, even though they know there are problems with it and their network.
This phone replaced a 5160. I love the sync software- I retired my Palm and use the IR port on my laptop to sync Outlook. Friends are amazed to see I can beam contacts to and from my phone and their Palms.
Battery life was good, but I bought an aftermarket li-ion battery and can charge up once a week. Sure beats the Nextel phone I had at my last job.
Wish there was a local provider that supported this phone effectively. As it is, I'll be dropping Cingular soon and probably going back to ATT as I can better reception.
