Advantages: Easy to use, good solid slide mechanism

Disadvantages: occasional loss of settings,

Have this phone on contract and overall its been problem free. The only thing Ive noticed is occasionally the phone resets itself, and always does this when the back cover is removed. So the wallpaper and ringtone etc all go back to factory settings which is a tad annoying.

The sound quality is good and volume is fine even on loudspeaker. It has a solid slide mechanism and given the use its had is showing no signs of wear and tear. The 3.2MP camera is adequate for those quick snaps although it does have shutter lag so dont expect to catch any quick shots with it, the flash is automatic which is useful and adequate for close up shots only. Camera button and pictures can be taken with the phone shut.

With Bluetooth and memory card slot you can store quite a lot. Has an FM radio but you do need to plug an earpiece in to make this work. All the usual applications are also included. Battery life is acceptable and after almost 12mths use Ive seen no sign of battery loss yet.

Summary: Solid feeling slide phone, easy to use
