After reading all the reviews I have seen many that I agree on & disagree on. But I have had this phone for quite some time now & would like to share my findings on it as a non biased person.

Firstly I have the black one, not only do I think this 1 looks the nicest, I hear there has been a lot of bad batches of the pink ones! Some people say they are broke when they open the box or the circular control doesn't last long. I wonder if these were pink ones! Besides the pink on the phone & the pink on the phone keypad are 2 different pinks making the colours clash & look cheap! Same with the white, personally I thing the white on the phone itself & the grey on the screen looks stupid.

Anyway, lots of people have mentioned how hard it is to adapt to the key layout when texting etc. This, I suppose, depends on you. I had no problem with it & after a day or so, you get used to it & forget it's any different!.

The VOLUME! Yes the quietness is annoying, but, I have set the equaliser mode to LIVE & chose an extra loud song (NICHE - HEARTBROKEN)as my ringtone, I am sure some1 will soon figure out a cheat better than this one like they did with the d500 which worked a charm.

Taking photos. Yes the screen is small, but you can see this before you buy? So if you actually LOOK at the dimensions anyone can see for them selves if this is suitable or not. For me taking pictures is not a big thing, a have a separate camera for that. But if I was to take one on the phone & couldn't see it well on the small screen ide just upload it onto my computer. But again I can see where some people are coming from as some folks like to show pics to people whilst still stored on the phone.

Battery life. For me this is not an issue. My phone lasts about 5 days without being charged & that's in average usage, I am on contract so I do a lot of talking & texting. I think as long as you give it a good 10 hour power off charge before you start messing about with it, it does it very good. I just left mine over night. If you didn't do this then I would suggest trying to leave the battery till it's lowest before charging.

As for my own opinion, its the best phone I have had (this & the d500) it looks wicked & it turns heads, the features are everything I need & wouldn't ask for anymore & unlike some who moan. If it wasn't all I needed I wouldn't buy it & just find another one? Duh! Usability gets a bit of getting used to like I said but change is good & I welcome it when it looks this nice! I think that's about it.
