Advantages: Lots of media to choose from and easy to navigate around

Disadvantages: Can sometimes be slow and therefore freze on continous use on same button

I first saw this phone when it came out a few years ago and it had a price tag of around £300, but when I noticed it the other day in Tesco for just over £100 I snapped it up!

I have now had this phone for just less than a year now, it has many features and has easy access to all these features through the 'touch screen navigating'!

I'll start with the 5 mega pixel camera, personally I think it takes clear photos, with its 'autofocus' technology, I think that it is one of the best cameras I have ever seen on a phone, but in poor light conditions the photos can become easily blurred and extremey dark, there is also on-screen editing, which can be REAL FUN! You can morph your friends, colour swap etc, also has a video camera and on this you can edit the timing so things will appear in slow motion!

The mp3 player has clear sound and can be played loudly so can be heard easily in public places which is really handy if your phone is ringing in a public place! It also comesn with earphones which means that you can listen to yourn music or playback your videos privatley.

Texting is very easy as you have many different ways to text, from the on screen 'qwerty keyboard', to the normal 'abc, def' style texting buttons to the 'handwriting screen or box'

There are few games on this phone which is one of the down sides, so if you are going on a long journey it is not worth solely relying on the phone for your entertainment use.

The touch screen is really handy, especially as it comes with a stylus which makes it really easy to navigate your way around the screen by just clicking on exactly where you want to go! Although you don't have to use this as when I got used to the phone I got a bet fed up with getting it out and putting it back and found it easier to use my fingers.

The speed of the phone varies which can be annoying especially if you are in a rush, or need to get hold od someone quickly, also by clicking the same button continuously it can often make the phone just freeze or get easily confused!

The design of this phone is quite sleek, although it is quite wide and chunky. It is almost the same size as the old nokia bricks! However because you can see the long stylish screen it makes it look much more modern and more up to date.

All in all I think this is a really great phone with lots of media to choose from! It is easy to navigate round, can take clear photos which means you do not have to carry around a phone and camera in your bag!
