Advantages: Design, Camera, Usability, Value for money, Battery life

Disadvantages: Touch screen, Apps

I had this phone for a while before I bought a Blackberry last year. I have a number of different issues with this phone, the main one being the touch screen. Comparing it to other touch screen phones such as iPhone, HTC etc is pointless because this is a much cheaper phone, but there comes a point when touch screens aren't really touch screens!!! This was a nightmare to use, and I usually had to use the provided stylus just to go about my navigation. The applications available for this phone was abysmal, but I did like the fact it was compatible with games such as Labryth, where you have to twist and turn the phone, a similar feature to the iPhone. The camera is good quality, the design is nice and it was fairly easy to get the hang of. Also it's a good phone for keeping music and using like an mp3 player. All in all this is an alright phone, especially for the money, it's just the touch screen and applications that let it down.

Summary: Let down by it's touch screen, but a good phone.
