Don't buy it 1 star rating

There is only one postive thing about this phone. It's overall design is very nice. The negatives. Wow.... I have two of these phones unfortunately and it's not a fault with the phone but rather design flaws as follows:

The SPEAKER IS ON THE BACK so when you put it down you cannot hear a thing including the phone ringing. NB CHECK ALL NEW NOKIA MODELS FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW. QUITE A FEW MODELS HAVE THIS STUPID PROBLEM.
Ring tones especially mp3 sometimes play once only and then never again. The phone still rings but no sound.
Voice quality truly sucks and I mean badly. Like talking down a conduit pipe.
Had the phone for a week and it has already down a lockup. Had to switch on and off to get it to work.
Sometimes it rings for split second and then immediatly hands up and says call missed?? Nice one!
Ring tones are very nice if you are sitting in a sound proof room. Otherwise they are not very loud or useful.
