I got this phone free from T-Mobile in late Feb 2003. I quite like it, as a basic cell.
Pros-Easy to use (my 58 y/o completely non tech mom manages to make and get calls, lock and unlock the keypad, and even check her voicemail), Dlable ringtones, widely available faceplates, AIM using TXT msgs, fun games, calculator, calendar that lets you move appointments from one date/time to another, loud ring, good battery life (if you condition the battery), pretty good reception (outside, 3-4 bars. inside, almost always 3, except in basement 1), call forwarding, call waiting, conference call
Cons-Monochrome screen (not color), included headset hurts my ear (i put a foam cover on it and that took care of it), no WAP access (can't access web or email), menu(navikey) button changes function, which can be annoying. for example, when in a call, the menu button is the end button. However, it's also the options button that lets you make another call, or answer callwaiting, or whatev, but you have to hit cancel to turn it from end to options. there have been a number of times I was in call, wanted to make another call or send a txt, and accidentally hung up cos I forgot to hit cancel before hitting the menu key.
All in all, I would say this is a good basic phone for anyone. Great for a first phone, a teenager (one who can be convinced they don't need web access and the ability to take pics anyway), a senior citizen, or any not so techie person.
