- Good points:
- Turn off the auto rotate and don't leave the wifi / wireless on when it's not needed and the battery will last for days; switch it to 'airplane mode' overnight to keep alarms on and the battery will push 3 days with light use (lots of texts, minimal calls, light internet use, minimal games); smaller than the Galaxy S II; handles the internet and email well.
- Bad points:
- The phone is large, I am a small female and this is about as large as I can hold in 1 hand (insert cheesy 'Carry On' joke here); Shows every fingerprint and speck of dust on it but a case would get round this; camera is terrible, takes forever to focus and does not work well in the dark, then again, you're buying a phone not a camera.

CATRIONA, Uni Student
- Good points:
- A nice looking phone with a clear, big screen. Mostly easy to use, similar to iphone and ipod with menu navigation and 'keyboard'
- Bad points:
- very poor battery life even without internet or bluetooth use. alarm wont sound if battery runs down during night (not been a problem with previous phones) very poor connection to internet when indoors - regardless of location, on rare occasions when experiencing good 3g signal.- very slow web browsing. additional case is essential as phone case is very slippery. would not reccomend for those wishing to use the internet - the ke factor in my decision choice and phone suggested by advisor purely for this
