Classic Look with light weight and I love it. I can store around 300 entries in the phone book. This device is available in extreme grey as well as bold charcoal and I chose extreme grey. Very simple model and looks great.

I was looking out for a budget-oriented phone with classic looks and with advanced features. My buddy suggests choosing this model as she has already owned one in this same model. Well and good enough to use with a CSTN colour display screen.

I have seen this model Advertisement last week in a magazine. I liked to own a phone for myself and the article and review about this mobile tempted me a lot and finally I had one for me. Simple and compact model which supports tri-band frequencies. I don’t use other features like WAP, GPRS etc., so not bothered about it. But small disappointment here, that this model does not have camera features. I can access everywhere as it supports global roaming and the polyphonic ring tones and screen savers also present. If anybody would like to go for a less expensive handset, this is the best one.
