Mark, Aberdeenshire

Score 6.0/10

Good points:: Good if you want to use as a small PDA. Or a good MP3 player
Bad points:: Software kept crashing, not many apps and difficult to find. No use for texting as messages would say sent however nobody seemed to get them. Asked Orange shop, were about as useful a kite on a calm day. Eventually told to try and set to one Frequency. Decide to sell phone in the end.

Rodney, Ruthin

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Good big screen. Sleek. Mini USB for charging and pc connection. Wifi, Bluetooth. Multiple phone data functionality. GPS. Runs TomTom 7. Reasonable battery life.
Bad points:: Nowhere to attach a cord. Liable to do anything if pocketed when on. "Navigation" buttons absent (i.e. the ring button found on many phones). Long delay on camera shutter. Slow shutter speed. Volume control too easy to change accidentally. Sw bugs (on two occasions the GPS has stopped working for no good reason; on boot, problems with device.exe).
