- never got any signal, always cuts off during phone calls, always says connection error when you are calling people, rubbish phone dont buy it!

+ It took me a little time to work out how to get most of the features, but I have been very satisfied with the phone. The most important aspect is that I can access the internet. I've found the internet works reasonably quickly (compared to mobile broadband I've used in the past) & that the images are reasonably good. The screen is large for the size of the phone. The music player is reasonably good. I was impressed by many of the additional features, e.g. sound recorder.

- The built-in web browser was a disappointment, so I recommend downloading Opera Mini, which works fine. Not being a touch screen I find using the keypad a bit limiting. And some of the photos I've taken with the camera (particularly close up) are blurred (though I've not checked to see if there's any zoom, etc. on the camera)

+ All good no problems

- Nothing so far!

+ Solidly built

- Unintuitive interface, Vodafone customisation battery life

+ Lovely action on the slider

- have to have slider open to switch off.

+ Very satisfied to find a phone that is primarily a phone not an all singing all dancing do everything but nothing very well.

- Some problems reading the screen in bright sunlight.

+ easy to use and nice, clear screen

- battery sometimes drains very quickly
