I got one for "talk and use", after carrying the bulky 6265 around. 6265 has features I rarely use. I prefer a good digital camera and do not want to waste battery life playing music, when traveling. I need a light weight phone, which is sturdy and has a good battery life, and has a speaker, so I can talk while driving. I think this is the lightest CDMA phone available from Nokia. The feel is of plastic, but who cares? It fits smugly in my pocket, has RUIM, so I can swap for 6265, if I wanted.
A mobile is an appliance for me to talk, so I am probably in minority, though.
