Advantages: Ease of Use

Disadvantages: Some issues with micro sd and freezing

I have now had this phone for over a year and in general have no major complaints with it.

So, the good points;

It is (as I have found with all Nokia models that I have owned) very easy to use, the menu system is intuative and is able to be displayed in list or 'graph' form.

It has the generic customisable 'quick' buttons, a volume button on the side, and a camera on the back. The battery life is, I have found, good - I only have to charge it once every 5 days or so depending on usage.

The Camera, being a Carl Zeiss lens is of a good quality and takes pictures at 3.2megapixel resolution, which is perfectly adequate for a mobile phone camera, or so I think!

The slide mechanism is good and fast and automatically unlocks the phone or answers calls when you slide it to reveal the keypad (customisable through options).

The bad points;

I have found that occasionally the keypad will not unlock, forcing me to remove the cover and disconnect the battery, this can be frustrating especially when a text message has just come through!

Another grip I have is that the micro card holder does not press on the card enough to connect it with the phone, meaning that I have no extra storage, I doubt this is the case with all of the phones of this model but is obviously something that can go wrong.

Apart from these inconveniences I have been very happy with this phone and would recommend it to someone looking for an easy to use mobile with a minamalistic design but plenty of features.
