Advantages: looks, sound qualities, lightweight

Disadvantages: joystic, keypad, small screen

as the title says: good while it lasted.
contrary to having this phone, i had its predessessor. it was reliable, but not up with the times, im afraid, so i chose the alcatel one touch 302. seemed, good. at sixty nine pounds it was a bargain.
almost immediately i had found uses for the variety of functions. there were many thing which made my life easier.
well, they did. for a while.
the thing with this phone is that innitially its a great buy, but in the long run things get difficult.
eventually, the already prolonged loading screens depicting a counting hand gets longer, and things begin to be more difficult.
the worst thing that happened to my phone was the exiting new "joystick" feature begun to get harder to move, until eventually it had no effect uon the phone, which meant i could only navigate the menu and phone book with extreme difficultuy.
also i found the texting very tedious, as instead of 0 being space like most phones, its was 1, which seems to make things slower!

well what i would say is, maybe my phone was particularly faulty, or maybe their all like that, but i would say only buy this phone if your only going to use it for a year.
