Miss K, Brighton , “Not a phone junkie”

Score 6.0/10

+ Small , compact, fantastic sleek design and ergonomic. Good MP3 player and extras like world clock are handing.

- Low audio in calls, this is really frustrating as there iis no point having a cool looking phone is it cannot do the basics of having phone conversations on it. Keyboard is finickity. Sensor ( for analogue clock) is hypersensitive and the clock appears at random times in usage.
