Duration of ownership: 7 Months

Strengths: cheap great music software good net browsing and bluetooth filesharing very strong survives rough use great battery life good quality sound from mp3s mac compatible igig storage

Weaknesses: low res camera, M2 1gig memory stick is expensive

Overall Evaluation: This is my sixth cell fone.... and the cheapest I have ever owned. Am a veteran fone user( bought my first analog motorola in 1995) and have used mainly Nokias since but I gotta say this is an awesome fone..... After seven months of trouble free use it is by far the best ever for me. I am a musician and I can compose audio tracks on it and use it as a metronome...I have actually created a commercial soundtrack using the music dj program!!! It now features in the gigs that i do in my electronic band as a audio loop player. I teach at university and it has replaced my briefcase. I have stored my phd word doc and powerpoint files on the 1gig flash memory stick and can blue tooth them to a computer in a blink I can even use it as a computer mouse! I can surf the net basically and it can just handle video news feeds and animated weather radars. I [plugged it into my mac G5 and it just worked. I am hard on fones and have repeatedly dropped stepped on and sat on this fone and it has handled well. I found the menu alittle different to NOKIAs but easy once I got used to the software. If you dont need a blackberry fone I would highlty recomend this. Only downer is camera quality but I supect the next generation 300i will be better. Overall a great(classic??) piece of technology
