+ its purple my favourite colour and very cheap to buy

- the number of characters you can type on the text screen is low, i often have to send 2 or 3 texts to cover one of my messages. navigation is not simple.
lost my charger and was unable to find a replacement, not sold by woolies or carphone wharehouse. Brand website was confusing as loads of chargers but didnt refer to the model of phone i had purchased.

+ Nice colour and design, good camera. Tones ok and screen quality good enough.

- Wobbly flip joint, when texting, the speed is so slow, you keep having to go back and respell words. Could be more ringtones.
