Alison, York

+ It is easy to handle. the display is very clear. with the details provided it was fairly easy to set up.

- there is some problem with key inputs that take time to activate, not good when you are trying to text messages and it doesn't keep up with the inputs. The music quality on playback is not as good as i hoped.
