Kerrie, Stoke, Plymouth , “Mother, Wife, Manager, Student”

+ This phone is sleek, slender and so cool. Its thin enough to slide into your pocket and durable enough to withstand being in your pocket.
The sound is great, the keys are smooth and easy to use. The design is fashionable yet sophisicated and extremely eye catching.

- I have had tis phone for 2 months and have nothing that i particularly dislike about it, Sorry!

Stuart, Edinburgh , “Student PE Teacher”

+ The phone looks great, and works really well. The sound quality and volume for listening to music/ringtones is brilliant, more like a walkman phone than a usual nokia. Back to the looks, few phones actually make people go "Oh that's really cool!" this one has on numerous occassions, just because it's really different.

- It gets scratched really easily, not bad scratches, just wee ones over the screen, but other than that, it still looks good. Other thing is the back is quite hard to remove, especially the first time.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “age 35 derbyshire england”

+ For me this phone is great. I txt alot and the keys are just the right size for that. The menu's are all easy to get into without having to go through sub menu after sub menu. It looks good, sounds good, overall its an excellent phone.

- The only thing i can fault this phone on is the joystick style navigation button. It is sometimes tricky and fiddly to use depending on what your doing.

BARBARA , SUNDERLAND

+ This phone is easy to use and the format for texting is very good, very bright screen which makes texts easy to read. I am still getting used to all the features available but for my personal use its perfoms very well.

- The only criticism I have is that I find I have to charge it every day as the battery seems to run down very quickly but I don't find that too much of a problem...
