Sarah, Wareham

Score 1.0/10

+ very easy to use and my children love the games.

- i have replaced the phone for the 3rd time in 2 months as the battery holds its charge for less than 2 days. I will not be keeping the same model despite being delighted with every other feature of the phone. It's just too inconvenient.

Score 8.0/10

+ It is very easy to use although it has features I personally don`t need.It enables you to enlarge phone numbers which is useful.

- The keypad is quite small so difficult to use at times especially when I`m horse riding.

Standby Time dictates how long your phone would last if left on standby, ready to receive calls, but with nothing else being done to it.
Video Recorder	No
Video recording functionality allows the capture of videos in mpeg or avi format which is great if you want to capture a whole scene, not just one moment.
Instant Messaging	No
Instant Messaging allows you to communicate in real-time with friends from your phone using services such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, GTalk, ICQ or AIM. If you have a good data plan it’s a great way to stay in touch with your friends and save money.
Built-in Camera	No
Some GPS products come with a built in digital camera that allows you to photograph the place you are at and then add it to your map.

Phone book capacity (names)	200
A phone’s phone book capacity indicates how many contact details it can store. Many modern phones come with optional memory cards that can be used to store extra contacts. A contact file is generally small and so ‘Practically Unlimited’ is often given because you would have to have thousands of people in your address book to fill it up.
