+ The touch screen is incredibly easy to use and there are plenty of functions and features which are intuitive and easy to use. The camera is excellent and it holds the signal very well.

- The ear piece volume is very low on calls and often you have to strain to hear the other caller if you are in a noisy environment and the battery does not last much longer than 2 days with minimal use (texting and a few short calls) with much heavier use of the more power hungry features (longer calls, camera, games) I suspect the battery will not last very long at all.

+ best touchscreen phone i've come across!!

- games are a little boring, it'd be better if it came with more and also not great if you've got fat fingers, which thankfully I haven't!! :)
