+ i really like the look of the phone and the camera/video is quite good.

- it can't even store one song without a memory card so i think either a memory card should be included or the phones memory increased. the phone lasts around 2 days without being charged which isnt very good. i also think at least one game should be included (not just trial games) as i have tried to download games and they are either incredibly expensive or don't work on the phone.

Anders, Walton on Thames

+ Nice looking and very feature complete if considered what it costs. Good value for money.
Great that it has slot for microSD card.
The speaker sounds reasonably for its size.

- The screen is of really cheap type and not even close to e.g. Nokia or Ericsson phones.
Need to take out battery to remove/insert memory card. And when removing the battery
the clock is not running so need to set time again plus it resets ringtone etc to default.

Shelagh, Bovingdon

+ I really love the look/design (I have white version), nice size/weight (feels slim and robust but not heavy) and keypad is really easy to use and not too fiddly/close together like some. Battery lasts really well. (When I went to Holland recently for 4 days I forgot my charger but I didn't need it. The battery didn't run down anywhere near completely).

- Screen quality is not great and text is quite pixellated but ok. No themes to personalise your phone for free. Locating individuals in contacts list is longwinded - a facility to group contacts and see them as folders would make this easier. There are often too many "steps" to a function eg calendar appointments. Some things are hard to find eg ringtones (took me ages to find them). Alarm sounds stop too soon - doesn't wake me so effectively useless - it should be continuous till you switch it off...

Neil, Derby

+ Looks & feels really good.

- Poor picture & sound quality. Phone didnt come with in-car charger, USB leads etc (I thought all phones came with these as standard). One of the reasons I bought this phone was due to the fact it plays MP3s - I want to be able to download tracks using USB from my PC. I cant find any accessories for this phone anywhere.
