well i brought this phone for just over 10k and its real vlaue for money.
to begin with the shape seems a bit odd but its really good to handle with one hand, the buttons are easy to reach the centre joy-stick as i call it is quite handy with one touch access to your desired links. The large display is the most attractive part with 65k color display giving excellent results. The camera is very responsive with the zoom function being very effective, but its the low light that kills fun on the camera a bit however with the camera flash attachment it can be sorted out. And taking prints of your favourite shot is made very simple with the bluetooth at a kodak gallery. Messaging is quite easy as in any nokia phone. gprs is pretty enough, the handset becomes responsive when u r using GPRS.
Now comes the power house the battery life is real lasting upto 40-45 hrs at full use. Also the in built memory on the phone is quite useful with the expandable memory slot compatible upto 1gb.
one can realy get more out of this phone : put in a memory card for 500-600 mb - u can store upto 35-40 full lenth songs, put in 1 or 2 games, add some useful softwares and bang u r on but at a cost -- the phone then becomes a bit sluggish in use with icons taking time to open, its realy advisible not to put in the games which would save on memory. The sound quality is really good. So who wants to go in or that costly N series which hovers around 25k !!!!!!!!!!!!!

besides one can also go in for those flashy attachments like bluetooth keyboard, power point presenter to keep oneself in good company.

on the back-foot however on full memory the phone is slightly sluggish and the always keep your phone away from the rain goods cos then it just breaks down on u. it happended to me this year itself, i gave it to the nokia care which returned the instruemnt 15 around 20 days but it again died on me just overnight. I again gave the instrument to nokia care which replaced the instrument in over a months time.

THE LESSON : DO NOT USE THE MEMRY ON THE PHONE TO FULL CAPACITY & DONOT GET IT WET OR HUMID AND its the best friend u’ll have.
