+ Excellent phone with many features and fantastic touch screen! A handy accessory I couldn't be without now!

- With heavy use battery may only last a day or two, keep that charger handy!

- The phone continually switches itself off and then on again - sometimes in mid conversation which is becoming increasingly annoying!!

+ Nest & compact, decent screensize.

- Found software and menu navigation very difficult and cumbersome. Keypad not easy to use. Perhaps I expected more than it was able to deliver, but I don't like the phone at all.

+ I love the alin one nature of it, I practically run my business from this phone now.

- The battery life is rubbish if you actually use it for anything which you will because of all the cool features.

Ashley, Kozaczek

+ The Phone is feature full, thee is so much you can do with the phone im always finding new things to do with it.

- its almost useless, the software on it is buggy, it resets itself randomly to improve performance, even when your not touching it. it crashes at the thought of running notepad and anything else. the camera is great, but it takes nearly 15 seconds to open, and then navigation round the touch screen controls are a bit confusing. at first the design was fun, but after a while the flip pad was getting caught on trouser pockets and everything else. removing it left me with a full qwerty keypad which i couldnt use as my average sized fingers were too big.overall the phone does not live up to any of my expectations

Fiona, Colchester

+ Voice recorder now easier to use when set to internet button compared to 910i. text mewssage receipt now automatic. Does everything I need and waseasy to learn. Better base connector.

- Would like a larger screen, deleting blocks of messages is fiddly, would like interchageable colours. Cannot use standard earphones or speakers with small jack.
