Advantages: Not complicated

Disadvantages: None for me

I once vowed I would never buy a mobile phone - I think mainly due to the fact that people can get hold of you wherever you are (if you have it with you, and the 'I'd better take it just in case' effect seems to make sure of this)! And I stuck to this vow BUT I was bought a mobile phone for Christmas last year! It's on the Orange Pay as you talk network, so I haven't had to fork out for contracts or anything, and I generally don't have any credit on it - but it has come in very handy after all! This particular phone is quite big (my brother says it's like a brick!) but it's not heavy. I've seen other people's mobiles and wondered how they manage with all the buttons and functions and menus - the Philips ph301 is very straightforward. Two function buttons underneath 'Menu' and 'Names', whatever you select you always have the option of 'Exit' or 'OK'. The screen and buttons light up, there is a choice of 12 ringer types (I stick to the one that sounds most like a phone ringing!), with three ringer volumes (and silent!) - I could go on about the menus but this phone has all the basics. Clearly labelled buttons, not too small, unaffected by a few falls (despite not having a cover)!
It's the only mobile I've had so I can't go into detailed comparisons, but I have no desire to change - basically this phone does the job!
