Well where to start with this...I liked the look of this phone from the moment it was advertised and I went and tried it out in a phone shop before I decided to get it, and it seemed great. I'm not sure whether it was the 12mp brilliant camera or the hdmi function that drew me in. Or the pure fact that it was a ne Nokia, and I quite like Nokias from the past. When I got the phone it was fine to begin with but then as I started putting more applications and personal touches on it p, it went down hill drastically. The phone would forever crash and I wouldn't be able to do anything with it (sometimes not even being able to switch it off, and like many new smart phones you couldn't actually take the back off to take the battery out). It would run reallllllllllllly slow. The software updates didn't make any difference to the performance of the phone. It generally just made it very difficult to use when it was being sooooo unresponsive.

A couple of good points however about this phone were the durability of it, I dropped mine a fair few times and never once did it break (although I did have insurance on it anyways, just incase) it just had a few scuffs and scratches on it. Another good point is that the camera was brilliant (as you would expect with 12mp). And the Dolby sound function made the phone sound pretty good.

Not the best smartphone out at all, there are much better ones to choose from.
