+ It is very attractive to look at. My 12 year old son loves it and it seems to give him a lot of street cred without the worry of it being a very expensive phone. He has bought a memory card to put extra music on it and that works well.

+ overall its easy to use, good battery life, sound and screen.

- no flash on the camera

+ Looks good, plays music, camera OK but, most of all can make phone calls!

- Keys too near together for big mens' fingers.

+ Nice phone, generally very easy to use,looks good and comes with great games and graphics. Great value for money

- Couldn't work out how to use predictive text as the instructions seemed to suggest it was automatically on. Thought we couldn't get it but then saw on a discussion forum that if you hold down left navigation key for a few seconds while writing a text it comes on... .and voila! it now works and has predictive text in the message menu too. So the only bad point is that it's not obvious how to get it on in the first place.

+ Small and compact. Does everything I need it to in a simple way.

- Nothing specific that I can see so far, but I have only had it a few weeks.

+ very used to nokia phones. this one is very slimline and smart looking.

- battery life short, and navigation keys difficult to manage. quite often not going the way you intend to.

+ This was bought as apresent for 11 yr old son as first phone. He thinks it is fantastic, loves the voice recorder.

+ A funky looking phone with all the features I required. It has extremely good sound quality and it really easy to use.

- On standby, the phone's battery doesn't last as long as my old phone, but it is OK. Obviously if you use the music player and internet all the time, it drains the battery very quickly.
One feature that can be a little annoying is that the music buttons on the side of the phone are easy to hit by mistake when picking up the phone (only if the keypad is unlocked though).

+ Smart, light and versatile

- Navigation is a bit tricky and I not sure about the short cuts on the screen, other than that it is OK

+ really good phone, got for £50 instead of £80 so well pleased. batterylife brill, memory card good, all in all a fantastic phone, glad i bought it.

- key pad a bit small but you get used to it.

+ Easy to use

- Haven,t found any yet

+ has all the fctions I wanted in a phone

- not much but if i chose anything its the positioning of volume controls directly oposite music controls this can cause conflict with handling

+ Amazing for listening to music and the radio. Cheapest, bestest phone i have had in a long time.

- Camera isnt that great really

+ Good overall phone

- Feels a bit FAKE... and doesnt have a calculater
