Anonymous verified purchaser
Score 6.0/10+ Good as a phone. Makes an receives call well. Good ear piece quality. Small and compact. Good for ladies or those with small fingers.
- Poor battery life. Terrible buttons for navigating around menu. The two round selecting buttons are very bad. Need to press them quite firmly, but with your finger nail. Generally fingers just slides straight over them, so not good. Doesnt support many file formats if friends send you photos etc. Oh an slide isnt very good as you have to hold teh phoen firmly to slide open incase you drop it. This could be easily rectified by putting a small lip on the slide face, just like they had on the E700.

Bob, Stamford
Score 8.0/10+ Small and neat design. As this was a gift for my wife this was important as it had to be "handbag friendly". She also loved the pink colour!!!!! There are a good number of features and the screen is large enough to give a clear image.
- The navigation needed to send an text is frustrating at times, involving what seems to be a lot of clicking and scrolling. Maybe there are shortcuts, but we haven't found them yet as unfortunatelly the manual that came with the phone is also small, but not so neat as it seems to skim over subjects somewhat. The authors probably assume that in this day and age everyone knows how to drill down menus - WRONG!!
