Advantages: Simple, lightweight, easy to use

Disadvantages: Short battery life

When I had to replace my Motorola T191e phone a few years ago, the simplest and cheapest phone I could get was the Nokia 3510i on Orange PAYG for 30 quid.

I was looking for a phone that could do voice calls and texts, and this one also supports WAP and GPRS for internet access too.

It's a great phone with a colour screen, simple to use (note that I've had to replace my keypad a few months ago when the "send" button came off), clear microphone & speaker, and supports Java for running applications.

I've since bought a couple of ringtones and a Tetris game (which was built into my Motorola), as well as downloading a Tube map application.

I've also unlocked it so I can put any SIM card in that I want, which was handy when I was in NZ and had a Vodafone NZ SIM in it for local use.

I find that my one's Li-Ion battery does about 6-7 days standby, which may indicate that I need to get a new battery for it.

This phone is easy to live with as well as use, and I find that because it's a popular model, it's less likely to be stolen, even when I've been travelling abroad.

My mum also has one of these phones, which makes explaining its use to her much easier.

Summary: A great phone that's simple to use and works
