Advantages: Solid all-rounder...

Disadvantages: Looks a bit antiquated.

Compared to some of the latest models, this phone is beginning to look a bit ancient - rumour has it, they found this model in Tutankamun's sarcophagus. Personally, though, I like to hold something I can feel, and have an energetic argument on the blower without feeling like my voice waves are going to shatter the damn thing.

Orange aren't the most efficient or reliable service, and as a pay-as-you-go customer I have to deal with an Anne Robinson sound-a-like every time I dial up for my balance. "You're remaining balance is £2.38...Goodbye." Sent messages get blocked by a variety of things, including wood, metal, glass, people's heads...anything between you and the satellite, basically.

It's a chunky, solid phone, with mininum frills...once you've gotten over the excitement of trying out all the different tunes, there's little you can do with it other than send messages and play Snake when you're on the bus. So, if you're a fourteen year old kid and your life revolves around what fancy magic tricks you can do on your mobile, by something more state of the art. If you're not, and you just want something to phone people on...you can't go far wrong with this.
