Advantages: A cheap, chic and stylish slider phone

Disadvantages: Slow loading time, low memory and low call quality

I wasn't what you'd call delighted with this phone. It looks fantastic which is perhaps the reason I considered buying it. when you slide it up you are rewarded with the satisfying clunk usually associated with good quality phones. However everything starts to go downhill after this. The battery life is not what you'd call great and the option to simply turn it on and off when it is needed isn't there as it takes at least 5 minutes to load every time you turn it on. Then there is the memory. I was expecting some kind of expansion slot but there is none provided so if you want more than 20 songs on it then you're out of luck. The call quality is abismal and even at the highest setting I found it very hard to hear anything at all. I was able to get signal almost anywhere but I am not sure whether this was because of the phone or the network I had it on. however the price is very deecent; mine was £30 which is very good, and as I said before it looks fantastic. the touchscreen buttons were surprisingly easy to master.

Summary: more of a fashion statement than a practical phone
