Advantages: The protective casing hugs the phone like a glove, small and light yet packed with features, splashproof is ingenious

Disadvantages: becoming a bit outdated now, price is a little bit too high, that orange screen really starts to get on your nerves

I bought this phone around 6 months ago on orange from phones 4 u. Without knowing much about it, the main reason I bought it was because I know how much abuse my usual phones get and I wanted one I could rely on, with a battery life of a reported 100 hours and a talk time (how long you can talk on your phone before the battery needs recharging) of 2.2 hours it fitted the bill quite nicely. The actual battery time I get out of it is around 4 days on a full charge of around 3 hours.
The phone is light at only 92grams considering the casing it has to protect it from all the bumps and knocks it recieves.
I would recomend getting it on orange with all the promotions they offer such as orange wednesdays and 5 free texts a day. Although orange is the only network iv'e been on!
The phone itself comes packed with features including an alarm GPS and WAP, including one little gadget iv'e never personally used a thermometer! The stop watch is top notch and I do however use that quite regularly. Although without a camera or colour screen and it's starting to feel like a bit of a brick compared with newer phones, I think the asking price is a bit far fetched. A top phone none the less.
