Fantastic battery life, iconic looking, thin. Designed for the very basic user. Don't forget, this was designed for third world markets. But ideal for a reserve"glovebox" phone, or for the elderly with sight problems

Texting very difficult, especially sending. Do not buy this if you text

It is basic but as a "pick up and use" phone is works well. It's light, slim and compact and looks pretty smart too. It isn't all singing and all dancing but for a practical phone it was great value for money.

It is a good phone for those who don't want all the gimicks and software. I bought this phone for my Mum as she only wanted a mobile phone to make a call. She didn't need text messaging or camera.
-
It only came with a 'noddy' guide which it made it laboursome to initially set-up.

As it's been reviewed in many places it's supposed to have a great battery life and this was the selling point. The design is just OK - quite slim and the keys are not too bad either.
-
Terrible software - extremely difficult to navigate and lacking many simple features. I wanted a spare phone to make & receive calls, send the odd text message and withhold my number while making calls (as this was my spare phone - didn't want to confuse receivers who might have my original, permanent phone number). Most of these simple things were not possible. Secondly it is too big to carry around. It's quite slim but very wide and long. For the lack of features it should've been much smaller.
