Advantages: Easy to use

Disadvantages: Short battery life

I bought this phone after a good month of research after my old Motorola fell apart. I knew I wanted to buy a Nokia as I had previous experience of them being very robust and of high quality. I wasn't wrong when I picked this one out. It is lightweight, slim, and easy to use with a variety of different features.

The camera incorporated in the phone is clear and quick taking, leading to defined photos of good quality. The video is not as great but for £70 it is what I would've expected. The radio is easy to use and the ear-phones provided give a good quality of sound. The large clear screen is also a bonus.

Having had this phone for over two months I feel that I am in a suitable position to make a valid judgement. I have come up with three disadvantages/faults that this phone shows. First is with the texting process. It is very easy to send a text before you have finished writing it, as the 'send' button is situated on the big square in the centre. This can be very frustrating if you are on pay-as-you-go. The second is with the calender facility. If you want to add a quick note onto a date you have to go through a long list of options before you can save it. Not ideal if you are in a rush.

The third problem I have fond is with the sound quality. Now I am not one to walk down the road or sit on a bus blasting my music out of my phone, I usually just use it for the alarm and ringtone, so there is no excuse really for this to happen, but just lately there has been a background noise, almost like interference when the music is played. This problem comes and goes and can be quite annoying.

Altogether however this phone is well worth having and I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a new phone.
