The phone looks as good as an iphone in my eyes, and compared to other phones looks well advanced in design.

Lots of niggly little things stop me giving this phone a great review. Sometimes the touch screen can seem so fiddly when all you want to do is call someone, it seems more awkward than necessary to get to the point you want to be at. Trying to unlock the phone on the screen can be a pain when it doesn't respond although there is the option to do this with the hold button on the side, perhaps I should retrain myself. The fact that the camera does not have auto focus lets it down as it takes some great pictures. I tried out the panoramic and night shots and they turn out really well, but the odd closer shot will be blurred when you wanted it the most. :(

I am unable to use email on this phone. Sometimes when texting "pqrs" letters it hits the lower key pad for predicted text. Pictures are not brilliant quality but are not bad either. Does not have any artwork for birthdays etc. There is sometimes a delay when found contact and dialling number.

It handles extremely well and its operation is, in the main, quite simple. The features are excellent and possibly more than some people would require. The find music function has been an excellent party piece and has impressed many of my friends. It even worked well with music that wouldn't be considered mainstream.

After dialling a number the keypad locks. To use keypad options on a voicemail answering system the keypad has to be physically unlocked first.
