- The battery life on the phone isn't the greatest. But that can maybe be put down the fact i'm listening to music all the time on it and watching films. Maybe this is something nokia could have taken into consideration though when designing the phone that this is what would happen with this phone. They bumped up the memory and all the rest but forgot to bump up the batter life to combat that.

Joseph, Enfield , “I am sixty-eight. ”

Score 9.0/10

+ At this stage, there is nothing to criticise on the phone; the design is perfect. It is sleek and admirable.
The features are unimaginable,its internet browsing features brings you closer to people. I am completely knocked out by its media facilities, music, photography, still pictures and video media, advanced connectivity
through infra red and bluetooth facilities and above all satellite navigation facilities. It is unimaginably compact
for the so many useful things it can do. I browse the internet with mine any where and any time I need to. What I have found bad in owning mine is the fact that it has taken over nearly all the basic services my laptop
used to provide.

- I am still waiting to discover what is trully bad in it.

Score 10.0/10

+ Being an elderly person, I find that it easy to work with, easier to open, Open messages. Make calls. It may take me some time to work out other features on the phone, but that is not the fault of the phone, It's mine.

- Can't think of any, but that may change, when I 've got to grips with the technical side of it
