This phone was one of the many gifts I received from my friend Tom. I really like phones with QWERTY/Z keyboards as I can't write quickly enough on touchscreens. That's why I'm now using the Titan 2 as my primary phone.



The interesting thing is that, despite its premium appearance, this was actually a low-end phone. It came with the "dumb" S40 system, which had already been on the market for a couple of years. This means that the only apps you can install are J2ME, and there aren't many of those because of the very unusual display for 'dumb' phones.

Also, the lack of multitasking is a major drawback mentioned in many reviews. This would be a really useful feature for a phone designed for chatting. For example, being unable to minimise the IM just to read emails or check another IM is just frustrating.

There was also another rare problem. This phone had bent display corners, which became popular only a year or two ago, before everyone realised it was a even more stupid idea for touch phones.

The problem is that when the surface is bent, the corners display a lot of reflections, which don't look very good, even indoors. They look even worse in the sun.



However, despite all these objective disadvantages, I still really like the phone. Well, it wasn't the best phone, but it was cheap and had a QWERTZ keyboard, which no one else had, and that counts for a lot. It will make a great addition to my collection!
