Robert, London , “Events Manager charity sector”

+ The sound quality is better than past phones.

- I can't turn off the irritating sound noises everytime I open and close the phone and it also makes this awful howling ringing noise when I turn it on. I don't need these cheap gimics and it reminds me of a childs phone not a work phone which is it's purpose. I would never have bought it if I had seen it in person one of the many problems of internet shopping.

Iain, Cumbria

+ Eye-catching. Screen protected by oyster design. Reasonable screen size. Cheap as pay-as-you-go buy.

- Small built-in memory. Uninteresting ringtones. Easy to press wrong keys. Sound quality could be a lot better.

ingrid, horley

+ seemed a nice looking phone for a very reasonable price when looking for a phone for my daughter

- reception is hopeless, nearly 90 % of the time the phone is on 'emergency' only, whereas our other phones work o.k. in our area. battery life is not fantastic either.

Mark, Bungay , “A sensible guy”

+ I like the size of the phone, the keypad is a useful size, and not to small like most other phones. The music playing is excepitionally good.

- It could have come with a cable to connect the phone to my PC so that I could have uploaded my songs.

+ The colour is nice and vivid. Hard to lose. It looks a bit different too.

- Sometimes it goes through phases of telling you you've got '2 text messages' and '2 unanswered phone calls' when you've only got the 1! Very annoying.

+ The phone is a nice size and very lightweight, it is easy to use, the camera is handy and takes nice photos which are easy to send and they can be transferred to a micro SD card and stored on computer. The MP3 player is useful, I bought the green phone which is very pretty. I am really pleased with my Mandarina Duck phone.

- I can't think of any
