I use this phone almost 1 day, so it is now time to write down firste experiences.

• I have Vodafone customisation, seeing their logo everywhere is not something I like.
• MP3 player and radio integrated in phone is great idea - you can listen to music and you don't miss any phone call or message as with regullar MP3 player.
• Camera is not perfect, but 2MPix is enough for making random photos with good light conditions.
• It is great that it has USB storage.
• I didn't find way to communicate with phone over IrDA except file transfer.
• Why the hell I could not upload whole calendar from my old Alcatel 535? It says something about low memory, but there is enough free space.
• I miss distinguishing from payed content and regullar phone menus. When do I enter Vodafone Live!? When do I download game data?

But generally it works much better than old phone, I only need to get used to some different functions.

Today evening I picked up my new phone on post office and as soon as I arrived home, I started to play with it. And well result for Gammu is poor, there is too much to implement. For now I only added identification, but I will work more on it.

Transfer of contacts was done by gammu --backup data.vcs on old phone and then tranfering to new phone using plain IrDA - ircp data.vcs. This is far from being perfect - I lost most of text in extended entries, half of names is also lost and I expect something might be missing. But I have at least something till I will write full support in Gammu :-).
