Advantages: as the headline states

Disadvantages: peeling 'skin' no stopwatch,

This is my current phone, and I do like it, a few little niggles which I wil go into in a moment.

The menu is simple enough to navigate although I did (and still do) find it tough to find the alarm clock. its just not where I would assume it is. However, the camera is pretty amazing for being on a mobile phone, it functions in the same way, as in there is a button on the top/side to press when you want to take a picture. You can zoom in on the pix that have been taken and it is very easy to view your gallery.

I love slide screen phones, and this is really one of the best, you can lock it so that you dont phone people while you are rummaging around your bag for makeup! Although the same cannot me said for the lens shutter, I have found that the shutter will slid open if in my bag, which in turn enables the camera...top button becomes an annoyance as i am now inadvertantly taking pix of the aforementioned make up. I am also a bit concerned that this may damage the lens at some point, but so far so good.

There is also one thing about the general duarbility and it goes as follows, the outside, black part of the phone at the sides and back has some sort of 'skin' on it. not sure what it is, but i have noticed that this skin began to peel away, like sunburn. Initially just at the corners, not noticable, but now the phone looks a bit weathered.

The great thing about this phone is that you can decide what is on your secondary menu, if you listen to music and watch videos, then you can have those options as one and two, great idea i think!

The music is another great thing about this phone, it is literally an mp3 player, simply slide the screen the opposite way, and you have play, fastforward, stop etc. you can also use it the standard menu way if you prefer.

All in all, i really enjoy using the phone and while i will be changing to another when my contract renews, I will definatley this of this one as one of my faves.

Summary: great and reliable, looks great and music is a must!
