Score 8.0/10+ Does all the basics fine.
- I find some keys on the keypad much less responsive than others, making texting a bit of a nightmare. Not being able to alter the function of the centre soft key meant that I was forever starting up WAP while the phone was in my pocket. On occasion disconnects randomly when bluetoothed

Score 9.0/10+ Easy to use.... doesn't weigh much.... for a low budget phone, it covers all the basic functions, e.g. has a camera, you can play music.... etc..... battery life is very good..... my mother hasn't charged her phone for 3 days and she is still using it......
- There isn't much bad to say about the phone.... the only thing that comes to mind is the limited memory... if i'm lucky i might be able to save 2 songs on the phone..... therefore buying a memory card is a must....
