Advantages: Easy to use, great layout

Disadvantages: Camera not great for taking many photos

I have had this phone now for a couple of months and I am very impressed with it. I have had some bother with Nokias in the past but this one has been no bother at all. I got the phone when I renewed my contract with Orange, after having a touch screen phone for such a long time I decided i wanted to go back to a phone with a keyboard. The Qwerty keyboard is fabulous and not to small, the buttons are easy to use and a lot quicker than the old style buttons you used to get on phones with 3 and 4 letters to one button. The screen is a perfect size aswell. When you first put the phone on there is the option to go throught the setup wizard, setting things like the date and time.

The phone is well layed out and is easy to find the different applications, there are the usual categories such as messaging, contacts, control panel etc. The phone also comes with applications already installed such as facebook and twitter, which once you have logged in you can leave them signed in for easy access. There are also a couple of games but these are all just trials and you have to purchase them if you want to keep them. If you do want to purchase more games and applications there is a stores tab in the phone where you can buy products from either nokia's ovi store or oranges app store. Another good thing about the phone is you can connect it to your emails and it can be connected to more than one email address if you have more than one. I found this really easy to setup and is constantly logged in so again no messing about typing in passwords.

The phone comes with a micro memory card which is 250mb but you can buy a larger size if needed, i had a micro card with my old phone so i just popped that in the phone and transferred all my pictures and music from my old phone. The camera is also pretty good, but i would not say it is top of the range in this category compared to other phones, but for the odd picture it is good.

Overall the phone is dead easy to use and looks great, i would recommend getting a cover to stop the screen and the camera lens getting scratch.

Summary: Great overall phone!
