Advantages: Flashing lights, Fun to use, CHEAP!

Disadvantages: Nothing really

This phone has flashing LED's at the sides, so when your phone goes off, and you're searching through your handbag in vain (ladies, you know what I mean), it flashes nice and bright for you to find it.

I've had this handset now for three months, and I am absolutely thrilled to bits with it.

Marketed as a fun phone, it actually looks smart and understated - until the disco starts that is!

It feels good in hand (!) with the rubberised grips. You can exchange the covers and keypads, there's even an fun X-press on shell available, which can do air-writing if that's your thing.

The integrated camera is better than I expected, basic but pretty good considering it is only a phone (if you want to play at David Bailey, best buy a proper camera). It has video capture too. The screen is excellent.

Polyphonic ring tones sound great, 16 voice I think, as well as a sound recorder which you can set as a tone too.

I've read criticism that it hasn't got bluetooth or FM radio/MP3 player, but hey for under £100 on PAYG, what do people expect for their money. It does more than everything you need for a phone, and does it all very well too. It's got lots of fun extras, like clip art you can apply to photos (devil horns on my seven year old for example!), cute little animated EMO characters, a clear section on the back of the fascia for adding your own images, themes, and so on.

Not the tiniest phone on the market, but it will fit in your diddy clubbing handbag, or easily into a pocket, and if you have sausage fingers, you'll still be able to use this one.

Its a Nokia, so its a doddle to use. Buy one and have some fun.
