Advantages: cheap, small, efficient

Disadvantages: Dosent have loads of extra features, GPRS dosent always work

Personally I am not the type of person who wants or will pay for the newest phone out there with additional features such as the ability to hold 2GIGs of music or whatever. I have a perfectly good creative zen which holds 30GIGS worth of pictures, music and videos, it probably has longer battery life also and can be charged up on computers wiis and xbox 360s. I also have no need for a camera on my phone as I have a fairly decent digital camera which can also record short movie clips. So in short this phone is probably perfect for me.

Physical Appearance

Well really it is not very interesting, black and silver but I have jazzed mine up with some metallic stickers. On the outside there is a little blue light in the middle of its front also beneath the camera this lights up to tell you when you have a message, phone call or the phone is being charged, however this is pretty handy if you are in a class or lecture and you have your phone on silent it doesn't disrupt the session. It is also very small but that suits me fine as I am not one of these girls that like to carry around a huge bag. The keypad is very easy to navigate and lights up blue when you flip up the lid although it may be a bit annoying if you have big hands or fingers. The screen is quite small also but it is in colour and displays the time, date once you set them, signal, GPRS, battery and the network you are connected to.

Menus

The menu features are games, messages, calendar, WAP/internet, camera, phonebook, applications, my documents and settings. When I purchased this phone it came with soduku and airstrike but you can purchase other games for around £3 each online. The WAP makes looking up your emails on the go easy also but you do have to pay for it with phone credit and it is quite difficult to email people back with such a small screen, it also doesn't let you use links and most websites do not come up. It also doesn't work in some areas with bad reception.The camera is very low quality so I don't use it though my little cousin plays with it quite regularly when he visits. The applications are pretty basic; they only include an alarm, calculator and to do list but I still find use for those when the batter in my alarm clock or I need to remember something and don't have a pen or paper.

Durability

I think I must have had this phone about a year now and I must have dropped it a hundred times by now and it's still in one piece so I am pleased with that. The same could be said about its charger which usually ends up at the bottom of my bag; it's still intact and charges my phone efficiently.

Price

Pretty reasonable I thought.When I purchased this phone I think it was £30 put this included a top up on the phone also and I was not expecting all those extra features as well. All I wanted was a basic phone that did what it said on the tin so I was very satisfied.

Summary: It does what it says on the box plus a litle more
