Advantages: Camera that rivals more expensive models, feature packed, excellent screen.

Disadvantages: No bluetooth

I bought this phone for £99 on Orange PAYG and it has been excellent. The prrice was very competitive.

The phone is stylish and looks like it cost three or four times more than it real is. However, it does feel a bit cheap when you pick it up as the plastic is a bit on the thin side so it creaks a little. However, the finish is robust.

The screen is a large and is colour too. It has to be one of the best screens on the market as it is bright, clear and photos look amazing on it. In fact, its much better than phones that cost twice as much!

The camera too is excellent. I couldn't believe the picture quality which was faithful to the original item shot. The colours were nicely balanced and there are numerous options for poor light, direct sunlight etc. It also has a digital zoom which works pretty well though you do get quite bad pixelation at the highest zoom factor.

The phone book is comprehensice and easy to access. It has polyphonic ringtones and more can be downloaded too.

The one thing it lacks though is bluetooth. Its quite a serious omission, but this is phone costs less than a hundred quid remember! It does have infra-red to compensate for the lack of bluetooth.

The battery life on this thing is amazing. I charged the battery up to full on this thing and left it in a draw for three months. I then switched it on and it still had two-thirds battery life left. The only thing is that it does take about an hour or two to charge from empty.

The phone is light and well featured. For someone on a small budget that requires a camera phone that takes perfect pictures then this is for you. However, if you also need bluetooth then stay away as this doesn't have it.

Summary: Excellent screen and camera. Looks like it cost twice as much as it really does.
