Advantages: Very durable

Disadvantages: Takes ages to turn on, poor camera quality.

I got ths phone as part of my T mobile contract in february, and although it is not very stylish it is extremely functional.

Exterior- this is a pretty basic looking phone with silver/chrome casing, small colour screen and chrome buttons, at the back it is black metal and chrome. The downfall is I find the casing is very easy to scratch.

Features- it has all ofthe features you would expect with a modern phone bluetooth,2 megapixel camera plays music etc.

The camera function is quite poor as at only 2megapixel the quality of the photos are very basic, the video function is again very poor and you can only record for approximately 15 seconds so it is really not worth using it.

It has the standard nokia menu which you can alter and customise to your own needs ensuring you have easy access to buttons you need to use. The same applies to the number buttons which you can customise to your own settings.

The music player and capacity of the phone are not great however a large memory card can help.

It is very easy to use and recieve phone calls and to text message which is pretty much all I do on my mobile phone however if you are looking for a camera video and music I would not recommend this.

The biggest plus point of this phone is the durability mine has been dropped, stood on, flung around in my handbag and I have never had any trouble with it definitely a hard wearing phone ideal for people who just need it to do its job.

My biggest bug bear with this phone is the starting up procedure it can take anywhere from a few seconds to 5 minutes to start up and is usually nearer the latter sometimes requiring turning of a number of times before it starts up properly, definitely no good if you need to turn your phone on in a hurry.

Summary: Ideal for those who use a mobile phone to make phone calls and not much else
