+ As a senior citerzen it suits me fine, not too complicated and easy to use.

- I am finding the battery life very short even in the fully turned off mode.

+ Big letters when writing and reading. Not all mobile users are 20 years old..... Easy to set up and to use. Pretty.

- The battery doesn't last very long, and especially during long trips can be quite a problem. I am not a "ringtone" fan, but a couple of better tunes could have been put in: at least even a simple clear "beep".

+ Overall very good

- The only bad thing I would say is the ring tones are not very loud and I am having trouble taking the answering service off !!

+ I knew what I wanted from a mobile phone. I didn't want anything fancy, just to be able to text, make calls and have a good calendar. All the other things like camera, handsfree etc were a bonus for me.

- None

+ overall the product is very good

- the life on the battery is not good you can fully charge it and it only lasts a day and it dose not have that much memory so you cant really down load any think

- BATTERY DON'T LAST VERY LONG

+ I like the design and colour of the phone.

- I keep pressing delete when I am texting by mistake.

+ ok whats good about the fone well it's small and comes in some really good colours. Navigation on the fone is ok battery life is average. The Synchronisation with other devices is pretty quick. The screen could be a smidgen bigger maybe an inch or 3. It links to the browser and web pretty quick too.

- The software well come on there are better out there but is average for the fone and price that it is selling at. The quality of sound could be better it's not very loud but i didnt buy for myself so it suits a first time fone user or someone that doesn't really no how to use them, but i did expect better quality for tunes also maybe louder than it actually is.

- the 1 button sticks out so u knock the button and its keeps beeping

- Making a call to someone not in my contacts - what woudl seem to be the simplest function , took ages to figure out , maybe it was me but just making a call took several menus and additions !

- There is no way of synchronizing with a computer. This is advertised as a feature, and the instruction booklet seems to think this should be possible. But there is no cable supplied, and no way of linking to the unusual port on the phone.

+ Tucks in my pocket

+ This was bought as a birthday present for my daughter's 10th birthday. I was looking for something that was "cool" and had extras like a camera and being able to listen to music but was not expensive. This little phone fitted the bill and my daughter thinks it's great.
