“We like the 8130’s size, though can’t help but feel that the device feels a bit cheap. The plastic casing is good, but not great, and we would have liked some more weight to the phone. Making the chromed sides metal instead of plastic would have gone a long way to making the phone feel higher-quality. While we know several people who are happy with their 8130, we also know several others who planned to upgrade to it but have reconsidered due to the chintzy feel. We would highly recommend using one for yourself to see where you fall on the spectrum.Flip the phone over and you will find the 2 megapixel camera. It is at the top, and sits inside a black trim which sits inside a chrome trim that wraps around the top and incorporates the standby button. Below this trim is a small slit for the speaker. At the bottom of the phone is the battery door clasp, a flush silver button flanked by two gold accents. The gold is a bit out of place on the phone, but it looks good enough that most users won’t realize that they are actually connectors for a desktop dock.” Read more here:
