John, Lampeter , “Other”

Score 9.0/10

+ The look of it is good, it has a loud enough ring for me, as I cannot hear very well. I do not use it very often but it carries easily enough in its own pouch on my belt and I hardly know that it is there. I must say that even the pouch is pretty good value. The texting keys light up, which is also a good plus point for us ancients and overall I
am very, very pleased with it: and indeed, with Samsung in general
