Advantages: Probably the best phone you can get for free on the cheapest tariffs

Disadvantages: Speaker went very quiet after a couple of months

I received this phone after signing up for a cheap pay monthly tariff. I found the phone easy to use, the menu, phonebook and messaging system all follow the tried-and-tested Nokia layout so if you've used a Nokia phone before you'll know where everything is.

A 'widget' bar has been included along the left hand side of the screen where you can place icons to have quick access to different applications and services, but I never really use it.

It comes with basic apps like a calculator and converter, and also some messaging and internet apps. I can't really comment on these because my tariff doesn't allow their use.

The phone has a 2.0 megapixel camera with basic features like zoom, white balance, self timer and video capture. There is a headphone jack to listen to Mp3 and radio as well, and there is an SD card port on the side of the phone if you need extra memory.

Unfortunately some components seem rather cheaply made. Within a few months of receiving it the speaker seemed to go very quiet, so even with the speaker volume at full I have a hard time hearing anyone calling me. The silver case began chipping away almost immediately as well, so after a couple of months my phone looked completely knackered.
