Samantha, Larne N Ireland , “A working mother”

+ It,s a very good phone, with lot's of features (considering the low price). It,s easy to use and the ring tones
are quite loud, which was a problem with my last phone.

- The only thing that i don,t like, is the size of the screen. It,s a bit small.
But i wouldn,t consider that a major concern!!

Matthew, London , “Occasional mobile user”

+ Small, convenient; sliding top keeps it compact while making it easy to lock. Battery lasts well.

- No vibrating alert (even though you can set one to on!) - so easy to miss calls when on quiet mode.

+ I previously had a shell type Motorola . After a call I closed the shell and automatically the call ended. I like this one because when I close the slide the number is already waiting instead of having to re-dial

Linda, Halesowen, West Midlands

+ Easy to use for people like me who are middle aged and not used to "technology" soon got into how to use this phone. Large numbers when making calls is of great help.

- You do sometimes have to take care with the keypad as you can accidentally touch another key.

+ Lots of features for a very reasonable price plus an impressive battery life.

- Learning curve on some features like how to set predictive text. Also call does not end when you close keyboard slide, you always have to press the red end call button which at first is not clear.
