This phone is amazing with a competitive price tag. The display is excellent and very bright like a 5700(it has 16M colors). The resolution of 240x320 on a 1.9" screen along with 262k colors makes even the minute details very clear. Watching movies is cool.
Plus points:
1. 262k colors
2. 2 megapixel camera
3. 240x320 resolution.
4. Keypad navigation is easy.
5. Can be used as a mass storage device(pen drive).
6. Video playback is smooth. It supports landscape fullscreen mode, which I wanted.
Moreover video can be fast forwarded at 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x speeds.
7. Video caller id.
8. Video screen savers. This is a new feature which I have seen in only few phones till now(like nokia 3110c). The way videos appear on the screen when kept idle looks fabulous.
9. Memory card doesn't slow it up even a little bit.
10. Music Player is ok with multitasking.
11. Capable of recording videos in both 3gp and mp4 format.
12. FM radio with unlimited FM recording.
13. Micro sd card compatible(hot swappable).
14. Service Light.The blue light looks classy.
15. Sound quality comparable to a Sony ericsson. It handles the highs well; but the lows are not audible sometimes.
16. Menu navigation is fast.
There are more, which you can explore for yourself.
Now the cons:
1. No flash.
2. For the pictures to be good, they should be shot in extreme lighting conditions. Looks blurry in low light.(Doesn't actually look to be shot from a 2 MP camera). But if you know a bit of photoshop, then that won't be a problem. They can be fixed easily.
3. Bluetooth transfer is little bit slow. Version is 1.2 and doesn't have A2DP. Means, you can't use a stereo bluetooth headset.
4. Photo browsing is very very slow. But this is only for very huge images like 1600x1200. for images in the resolution of 800x600, its ok.
5. Mp3 sounds very low. If you want to keep an mp3 as a ringtone, then you have to use some audio editors to increase the volume.
6. Audio Player doesn't support multiple playlists.
7. Camera has no autofocus. But you can't find another one which has got autofocus at this price tag, except K750.
8. Body is not scratch resistant and is extremely smooth and glassy that it got slipped out of my hand many times.
9. Vibrator is not upto the mark. A nokia set shakes wildly in the pocket when a call comes. But this one makes a silent hum, which sometimes creates a tickling situation.
10. Earphone is not good. Sound quality is below average.
11. Memory expandable to 1 GB only. Not enough for me.
12. Audio player doesn't support user equalizers. Only some preset ones are available like bass, rock, jazz, etc..
13. Battery backup is very very low. The big screen eats up the battery quickly. If you fiddle with the multimedia features like watching up movies or playing games, then the battery will drain in 3-4 hours.
14. Java apps runs very slow.
You can compensate this by reducing the brightness to 2 or 3. But still then it gives only 1.5-2 days standby and 4-5 hours talktime.
Seeing all the pros and cons, I still like this phone very much. Because of the very low price tag, Excellent super display and 2 MP camera and sound.
