Rating: Summary: the best non-GSM phone in a GSM/GPRS world Review: This is my third Nokia phone with AT&T wireless in 5 years. Previously I had the 6162 and the 8260. I've had this one for nine months now and here are the highpoints.1. Awesome battery life - a color screen would be nice but the battery life is more important to me. Also shows up better in the sun than a color screen would. 2. Compact size (fits in my pocket) 3. Excellent Coverage. GSM/GPRS phone network is still under construction and will be years before it's close to the size of the older TDMA network. I'm looking forward to being able to take a GSM phone anywhere in the world, but not at the expense of coverage right now. 4. Nokia has the best user interface. 5. Solid but light construction. 6. No Internet crap. I'll use my laptop for that, thanks. Text messaging and short emails are all I need for my phone. The cell phone sales people are trying HARD to sell those GSM phones but stay away from that for another year or two. I got a good deal on this phone as a longtime customer by threatening to leave and go to another provider if they didn't at least come close to the deals offered to new customers. Hey, and where do I find that Star Wars Imperial March for a US phone??? :-)

Rating: Summary: Great Little Phone Review: This phone is great for people who want their phone to be... well a phone. I got the best range coverage and I never got cut off in the middle of a call. Even with all of my traveling I never had a problem. The battery life is terrific. I could go days before I had to recharge the battery even whan I used it for calls. The internal antenna was a great feature. No more broken antennas from an accidental drop. The phone proved very durable. This was the best phone I've had. I wish I didn't have to switch to the GPRS system, it's not nearly as efficient yet.
