Advantages: compass, thermometer, decibal measurer

Disadvantages: rubbery springy buttons

Are you sick of dropping your phone and having it fall to pieces in public? If so this phone is ideal for you. Not only is the outer caes made of rubber so it'll only really break if you put some force behind it, but the case somes in half across the middle, so instead of having a front and back cover, you have a top and bottom, good or what! Then if you ever get lost, as I do oon the streets of Essex all the time ( joke) then this phone will be your lifeling, with a discreet compass on the top. The temperature is displayed on the top right hand corner of the screen and is accurate of course. It's brilliant and I love mine, I've had it for over a year, the longest I've ever had a phone through dropping it or breaking it. This phone can withstand my little brother chucking it in a cup of tea! Does someone you know have a volume control problem? If so then buy this and prove to them that they are loud!This phone really is the swiss army knife of phones. The only thing I could say against it is the buttons, they're rubbery and springy, it's difficult to get the button to *tap* if you know what I mean. It's more of a push than a tap.

Summary: this is the swiss army knife of phone
