wooh this is very stylish. so now i have to change my old module.
although i like this phone, for some reason i dounbt the market for mobile phones will be ‘over 300 mln’ in a couple of years as nokia predicts. the screen is tiny, and i’m not sure the reception will be perfect in less developed countries (where it is being introduced during the first phase). plus, if people want to watch football matches and movies, nothing beats the big screen
