Kim, Pembroke Dock

+ Hought this as a cheap replacement to my recently submerged (in Fizzy Vimto) Nokia N73, i bought because 1 its pink and two it was cheap as i had a new Sony on the way, over all you can make calls and send texts and thats about it!

- Very cheap build quality, sound and screen are terrible and features well it doesnt have them! not even a rubbishy camera.

Veronica, Norwich

+ Very nice, easy to use basic phone. Nice design with really easy, bright texting.

- The battery on previous similar phone only lasted 18 months. Will be interesting to see how long this battery lasts as it is impossible to get new battery without getting new phone,

Carly, Harrogate , “Basic text and chat user” More like this »

+ Small and cheap

- Looks better on the internet than in real life - is in fact horrendously cheap and nasty (yes, I know it is cheap to buy but this phone was ridiculous...) Silly menu to navigate, no features apart from a rip off of Tetris. Holds very few messages and sounds like an ice cream van when it rings. I bought it because my contract phone is broken and I cant get a new one till November. Bought this as a stop gap - wish I hadn't bothered. Its embaressing to use in public.
