Advantages: Sleek and stylish, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Memory and battery capacity
The design of this phone is sleek and stylish. It looks great at night when the keys are lit up red against the black cover of the phone and the sliding cover completes the look.
Not so good is the touch sensitive keypad, which can be activated when the phone is closed by pressing the volume button on the side twice. The phone can then be used to access the internet, send a message and even make a phone call. On more than one occasion I have called people by accident using all my credit.
On the plus side, the phone is easy to use with clear menu options. The camera is quick and easy to access but does not take fantastic quality photos. The video camera is also of average quality and uses the battery power up very quickly. The more photos you take, the slower the phone accesses the pictures, which is a little annoying.
The MP3 player is also easy to use but not many tracks can be saved - I had 30 at one point but I could not take many photographs while I had these tracks saved. The memory of the phone overall is fairly reasonable and when it nears maximum capacity plenty of warning is given.
In summary, I would buy this phone for its look and ease of use but I wouldn't rate it too highly in terms of features such as the camera and MP3 player.
Summary: Looks good but don't buy if you want to use frequently for camera/MP3

- 15/04/09 In terms of call quality it is not fantastic - it is sometimes hard to hear the person on the other end. The battery runs low on calls very quickly too. The sensitive screen I think is the main problem with the phone, it's a fairly affordable phone these days so I suppose you get what you pay for really. |
