This Unlocked Cell Phones give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Slimest symbian S60 wifi equipped phone
I dón't write product reviews normally, however this phone is so acomplished, so I felt inclined to share my experience for those who are looking for a well balance smartphone with very good size without communications compromises. I have been using this phone since January this year. The best fetures are: Size and weight are just perfect when you are travelling while really working at the same time, it is wifi enabled so you can avoid expensive packed data fees while still check your email on the go at airports and cafes with wifi free spots, if you are in a hurry to check internet data you still can use 3g / 3.5g data connections, it is a blazing fast smartphone with true multitasking, coming from many years using palm os I became acustomed to not have multitasking at all, but let me tell you that symbian is a great mobile OS far better than the venerable palm OS, almost any application you might need is available at affordable prices or even for free, the interface is also...
2. Does what a phone should and much more
I have owned this phone for about a month now and I am very happy with the phone overall with some minor draw backs. I use this in Manhattan area with AT&T.
Pros:
1. very good reception. Full bar inside some subway stations (including Times Square on the 1,9 line, 2 stories below ground)
2. good battery life. batteries go up to 4 days without charging with ~30 min talk/day +some texting and web browsing.
3. W Lan connection a breeze.
4. works well with ATT internet by media net, relatively fast and reliable connection. (can't comment on 3G, haven't used it)
5. Screen seems scratch resistant. probably has a glass cover. put the phone in my pocket with keys several times. not a scratch so far.
cons:
1. media player less than adequate
2. no asian language support (apparently you have to go to nokia service center to get the hardware flashed in order to add extra language support)
3. SD card gets stuck in the slot frequently,...

5-star for what it supposed to be
I was looking for a good cell phone, PDA(calendar, notes, voice memo), music player, communication(wi-fi, bluetooth, web, modem, sync), and the priority is in that exact order. For that and this price point, this phone is great, 5-star.
I got this phone in May, and I put in a Sandisk 4Gb microSDHC card that's good for now. I saw report that it'd take a 16Gb if I need that later.
Pros:
-Good size, quality built, very well designed, good battery life.
-Very good phone. Call quality very good with the factory headset. Slightly worse with a Plantronic 815 bluetooth headset (still good).
-Good function in calendar, meeting, reminder, alarm etc. I also recorded hour long voice memo in meeting no problem.
-Music player is good both function and sound. Radio is a bonus plus. On full charge, I played music 10 hours straight with headset. Speaker good for both phone and music (won't compare it to full size boom box).
-Bluetooth, wifi, sync, web all...
