Advantages: Easy to use, no fancy features- technophobe friendly

Disadvantages: Poorly built, pitiful camera resolution and meagre battery life

I have this phone a part of a contract deal, and while I didn't expect much in terms of performance I had hoped for more after choosing the Nokia over a Sony Ericsson.

The phone is intended to be basic and easy to use which it suceeds at, the menu interface the usual intuitive Nokia style. The colour screen is large and bright, with number of nature backgrounds to jazz up the background.

The phone slips up on battery life, mine only seems to only last just over an hour and a half conversation before giving up the ghost, my old nokia 3300 still has better stamina! Infuriatingly, the phone doesn't give a warning before the battery dies, so you are rudely and unexpectedly cut off!

The in built camera is also disappointing with a very poor resolution, however this is not a big deal unless you intend to use it often.

The mains charger supplied with the phone appears quite poorly made, the connection to the phone is also not very secure compared with early Nokias.

Overall this phone is perfectly usable, it is a bit dissapointing however compared with older Nokia which are far better built. Whilst the phone is easy to use, the poor quality accessories and camera let its performance down.

Summary: A let down from Nokia
