+ Fantastic camera & easy to see screen. One review I saw said it should come with a stylus, mine did so not sure if this is an addition or not, but it would be hard for big handed people otherwise

- Like most new phones the battery life is not as it states. It takes a while to find your way around, particually if you are not technical minded

Also i read that when you get a text message you can not see who its from and it just shows the telephone number - this has obviously been improved as my phone shows my contacts names when i get a text, so i was pleased with that.

Margaret, Springhead, Oldham

Score 9.0/10

+ The phone is very attractive and the screen is easy to navigate. It is very easy to personalise. The connection to PC either by cable or bluetooth is easy to set up and transfer of data is simple. The camera is excellent - far better than I expected and the camera menu is easy to navigate. The sound quality is very good and with the 8g memory card you have more than enough room to store music as well as your favourite photos. The email is very useful and the email wizard makes setting up your account fairly easy. I have downloaded full length movies onto the phone and the playback quality is amazing. The web'n'walk internet is very good - because of the size of the screen and the ability to use it in landscape mode navigation is no problem and you can view the content of the web pages really well. When texting the landscape mode gives access to a qwerty keyboard which is a real boon for quick texting. All in all I havent found a bad feature so far.

- The only disappointing thing about this phone is the battery life however with so many features I suppose this is only to be expected. Other than this I cant find a fault with the phone at all.

- terrible battery life, the key lock button is a single key on the side of the phone which only has to be pushed once, not held down and is easy to accidentally push whilst in your pocket or bag. also, the phone is WAY too sensitive when looking through photos, it only has to be turned slightly and the phone skips through about 11 pics, back to the beginning again and it will do this constantly unless you put the phone down on a flat surface whilst browsing through pics. not practical at all and doesn't recognise texts from contacts even if they're put into the contact book on the phone.

The phone's sound quality is also extremely clear when either on the phone receiving a call or listening to your favorite track on the pixon's great MP3 player feature.

- the only really bad point of the pixon is it's touch screen response, it sometimes shows lag in its response and you do have to pressed down on the phone rather firmly for the phone to respond. the pixon just doesn't hold up against the touch screen abilities of the iphone.

+ OVER ALL THIS IS A GREAT PHONE.

- The phone book when you are trying to look through it sometimes picks a number itself you could do with tryin to fix this as it is the best phone i have seen for a while.

+ The touch screen is much better than having a keypad.
The camera produces photos and videos of an excellent quality.
The phone looks stylish.
It's very easy to use once you get the hang of the touch screen.

- The battery doesn't seem to last very long.

+ In genral this phone is the best i have ever used A++++++++++++

- Only bad point i have found is that that key lock only has to be pressed once to lock and same to unlock wich is pointless as soon as you put it in your pocket it unlocks

- The phone has a very short battery life, and I have to charge my phone sometimes twice a day! And because of this I rarely listen to music on it.

+ It's stylish, great quality pictures, vidoes and graphics and a good memory capacity.

- The texting can be a little tricky. Most annoyingly, it doesn't like to let you put apostrophes in texts. Battery like isn't great but lasts longer if you're not always using music files, camera etc.
