Score 10.0/10+ this phone is just the right size its small bt not too small so you dont end up losin it sumwhere in your bag!! the stereo on this phone is very good and a lot louder than i thought it may be
- The only bad points i would say this fone has is that ican sumtyms freeze on you if u make it work a lil too quickly, and the positon of the walkman and web on the front of the fone, as I sometimes knock the walkman when pressing a button and my walkman starts palyin full volume

Score 2.0/10+ Good sounding features - pictures of product looked very enticing
-
very chunky once seen in reality, felt really heavy and cumbersome.
Generally far too big .
Also swivel design always felt upside down.
A real let down - not suitable if you are looking for a comact lightweight modern phone.
