I purchased this phone as a mid priced one to replace my Sony Ericcson W880i and I'm glad I did. The display is crystal clear and I believe all the features make the phone exceptionally good value. The text function is easy to use, and unlike my aforementioned phone, the speakers actually work! I find the battery life of this phone quite good; obviously after a day of lots of texts/calls it dwindles but on the whole it lasts around 4 days with normal usage. It also is relatively quick to charge. I like the central navigation menu which makes it easy to get to the menu. Also, something I find really useful is the fact that it flashes when you have a text or a missed call- handy when it's on silent or if you've lost it in your bag. One negative, however, is that i have a crack in the screen. I wouldn't mention this but I am very careful with this and my brother has the same phone, the same age and with a chip in the same place!
