Mahboob , London , “Love gadgets & technology”
Score 9.0/10+ Small, light and very easy to use. Also has bluetooth and FM radio.
- To find anything from men is not easy. I would like the phone to have grid menu instead of drop down menu. Thats the only main bad features. There is another small issue is that, when playing music file, it doesnt play on any sort of music player. And without the music player, you cannot forward or backward a music file.

Carefully chosen primarily as a good handbag phone (slim), with good-size responsive keyboard. Secondary features wanted were FM radio and bluetooth. This phone ticks all the boxes.
Performance of phone and radio good.
- Stereo headphones have long cable that tangles easily (why can't a pouch and or cable-storage clip be supplied?)
