Angela, South Cheshire

Score 8.0/10

+ Small, Lightweight easy to use.

- Battery life not very long a couple of days when left on constant. Charge up has to be done while the phone is switched off, otherwise it wont work after a full charge. You have to switch it off then back on again to use. Not like other brands I have used where a phone can be used whilst charging is in progress or imediately after.

Expert reviews for O2 X2i

TechRadar expert review

It may not set tech-heads' hearts aflutter, but this straightforward handset does the basics pretty fineThere are some phones that seek to deafen you with the amount of bells and whistles that they have on board - megapixel cameras, multi-format media player, smartphone wizardry and sophisticated syncing operations. There are others that will try to win you over with their stylish looks and unique designs, and still others that behave as if they're toys, with bright colours and the latest games to amuse and charm.But the latest budget phone from O2 barely fits into any of these…
