Advantages: cost, camera, ringtones

Disadvantages: no bluetooth, menu's arent brilliant, close buttons

After my old phone died, i needed a new one and went to search the mobile phone shops for a nice cheap (but hopefully modern) new phone, and did I do well!

Basic Features Include:
Phone Calls (obv)
SMS
MMS
Instant Messenger
(Fax & E-mail support)
Phonebook
JAVA Games
GPRS wap
Calendar
ToDo
Calculator
Converter
Alarm
Timer
Polyphonic Ringtones
Built - in Camera
Plus a few other extras, basically it does everything you ever need your phone to do.

The menu system is a little dissapointing, with you often having to go to menu after menu, its no nokia menu but it is easy to navigate, it can just take a while. Also there is a button which connects you to the wap service, and it is quite easy to knock - fairly annoying.

The phones camera is of an amazing standard, with a brilliant 4xZoom which is enhanced by the massive screen; one excellent feature (which im suprised no other manufacturor hasnt copied) is the screen cover to prevent any scratches, and it doubles up as a mini mirror - to make sure you look good before a photo, and if you have forgoten to open it, the phone will tell you.

Ringtones are well above standard, with the polyphonics sounding great, although the collection includes a bird, frog and fog-horn. Also there is a great feature of recording any noise (including songs etc) and having that as your ringtone, and they sound very good (including the pre-recorded jacksons song). Cameras have to make a noise and you have the option of five, which is a good feature - i like the bird noise, seems so ironic.

There are a few little niggles which could be improved, the keys are quite close together (no good for large people). The menu layout and appearence, its all red because its on Vodafone, and i cant seem to change it. No bluetooth, not that I found a use for it on my old phone anyway.

Overall a good nifty phone, its no nokia, but its a dam
n good cheap rival!
