Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Nice size, easy to use and navigate, good quality camera. My 14 yr old son got rave reviews from his friends and then saw I had one so it was his choice for Christmas/birthday present. Good value for money as PAYG.
Bad points:: Battery doesn't last long.

Linda, London Music and entertainment lover

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: Easy to use once you get used to it.
Love the option of 5 different home pages.
Decent price.
Bad points:: Takes long to get used to the Accounts&Sync option (about 1-2 days).
Main problem is the lack of internal memory, you can only download about 2 games.
Playing games drains the battery very quickly but otherwise the battery usage is decent.

Score 6.0/10

Good points:: Nice design, light weight and easy to use.
Good sise to take it with you anywhere anyhow.
Bad points:: The battery is ok for a smart phone but not for a mobile phone.
Using your device eat all the power energy in less tan a day.
Or two days without a constant internet connection.
The memory is not big enough to support a lot of apps and SD card memory is not easy to manage.
