Advantages: Good camera, touch screen and keypad

Disadvantages: No 3G

I purchased this phone as an upgrade to my LG Shine phone after much searching and researching, as I liked the idea of having a touch screen interface as well as slide function and a keypad for texting.

I found the battery cover to be difficult to remove but after a couple of tries it seemed to get easier, although I wouldn't exactly describe it as user friendly. The touch screen was accurate and easy to use and although it was 'only' a 3.2 mega pixel resolution the camera was suprisingly good, with flash and an auto focus function which I particularly liked as the pictures came out really well. There are all the standard functions on the phone like calendar, calculator, note function etc.

The battery life was pretty good, a full charge lasts several days but if you are making a lot of calls or sending texts then it might be better to keep a second charger at work or invest in a car charger to keep the battery topped up.

The phone itself is a lovely, sleek black but I was a little disappointed with the keypad and it seemed a bit 'plasticky' and the keys show the wear on them after a short while.

This phone is a good 'all rounder' and I would say a good start if you aren't sure whether or not you would like a full touch screen phone.
