  • simple design
  • Good music player

Although it doesn't offer any outstanding features, its compact size and slim frame combined with the renowned Symbian interface make it a recommended handset, and it comes at a reasonable price.
Pros:
  • Slim design, comfortable keypad and controls, 3.5mm headphone jack, intuitive user interface, included 1GB microSD card
