+ Its easy to use and has lots of features. Though i've always wanted a phone for the basics - easy to use, calls, messages and basic organiser - i've never found a phone with so many features on such a great package

- It may be a one off rather than a standard with this phone model but my phone seems to have a habit of saying "inactive" sim and turning itself off when i receive messages at the moment

Josie, Derby , “Basic text and chat user” More like this »

+ Its small, compact and easy to use, also when you add a new contact and forget to press save it prompts you to save before quitting that function so you do not have to repeat the process again.

- The battery life is shorter than other phones I've had in the past, also when i get my phone out to use sometimes its on text messages asking me if i want to send the message so obviously the keypad lock is not a good as it could be.

+ The phone is fairly easy to use when you get used to its features.
The camera is very good as is the video function.

- The battery soon begins to run down.
It can be slightly difficult to use the lock feature on this phone.
