  • +1

  • Wow, I miss this phone. Had it in 2000, I was 18, I would stand out with that phone since it was so small while the big Nokias were all over town. It was working great and I miss it. I miss when a phone was a phone, not a tv/camera. Now, all we see are 99% of people walking around with their head bowed, texting on their Iphones. What an ugly reality.

  • I used this phone from 2001 till 2003, the phone it's good basic and handy, i bought it in 2001 for 59.00 usd in Moldova, its was a cheap phone for that time, i got it brand new from phone store.Using it 2 years, observed only one disadvantage, poor battery life, in rest is good.

  • this was my first phone...fantastic.....

  • i remember this phone- it was my first one ever. the mouthpiece kept falling off after i shut it, so i used sticky tape to keep it working. The battery actually lasted me a full week, which was a surprise. but unfortunately i broke the antenna doing a barrel roll in Drama class, and i had to go to the next handmedown phone- some ugly and unuseable Motorola. since then i bought my own phones

  • i had this phone when i was around 6 years old, when it first came out, and let me tell you i loved it, i dont have it now, but i would love to, thanks.

  • Esy to break-design. If dropped, the antenna thread will break off the back cover-very expensive to fix. The battery contacts become loose and the phone closes by itself. A very bad phone indeed.
