Advantages: large screen

Disadvantages: The picture quality, the durability,the battery life, the slider.

I have had one of these mobiles for about a year now and I can't really recommend it. I had very few choices when renewing my contract so I just picked this one, I thought to myself "it's just a phone" but now I wished I had gone for a flip phone.
My first problem might sound a little silly but I have a job sliding my phone open with one hand I don't know whether it's because my hands are a bit on the small side but I look a bit of an idiot whenever I go to answer my phone. Secondly the phone is quite thick and chunky so it can't be put into the pocket of your jeans very easily or without you looking stupid.
Those are my issues with its design; the rest such as screen size etc and button size are fine.
My other problems are due to the fact that after 2 months the screen on my phone went all-weird. I hadn't dropped it or anything like that, but it just stopped working and though the phone came on I couldn't see anything. As I didn't have insurance I thought there was nothing I could do so I used a spare one. After a while I decided to speak to three, they arranged collection and believe it or not repaired it in two days and returned it to me Free of charge.

Also the battery life is practically non-existent but I have heard that this is a common flaw.
Even the camera quality at 2 mega pixels is grainy and quite bad especially when I compare it to my older LG phone with only 1.3 Mega pixels.

In all I couldn't recommend it, but three were good.

Summary: This should have been a lot better from Nokia, Smaller too!
