Don't you just love it when technology goes wrong? February was full of technological disasters for me but the first of such problems was on a dull Sunday morning when my beloved Samsung C300 started playing up; the battery power was far from consistent and I feared my twenty-pound wonder was about to die on me. Being away from home and using my phone every day to contact friends and family meant that I definitely couldn't be without a mobile phone for any length of time. So, my phone's demise provided me with a good reason to spend the day shopping instead of studying! Instead of going for the either or option of the Samsung Genio, I decided to take a gamble on the ...  Read the complete review

I no longer own this phone as I recently caved into peer pressure a got a blackberry, but I thought it necessary to write a review as the phone is very good. I could not decide whether to buy a touch screen or regular phone. I discovered this from carphone warehouse at only £90 and though it was a bargain. The main aspect that attracted me to this phone was the combination of touch screen and QWERTY keypad. A QWERTY keypad basically slides out from under the screen of the phone and allows the user to effectively have a full, physical key board, like the ones found of a laptop or computer...only smaller. Usability The phone is very easy to use. I ...  Read the complete review

I cannot remember the last time a phone went for around £105 and that too a decent one flaunting touch interface, 2.6 inch screen, a pull down full querty keypad, social networking software and messenger client. The phone feels heavy but not in terms of weight, more in terms of build quality. It actually feels safe; you could drop it time and time again and it will work. The screen is a little small by most standards but it can be forgiven for its dimunitive size because when you tilt the phone it changes to portrait mode and gives you more space. The keypad is really enjoyable and rewarding to use, especially when you are texting (or if ...  Read the complete review

I'm not very good when it comes to mobile phones and I broke my last one by dropping it repeatedly, so I had no choice but to buy another one! I bought this phone from 'Carphone Warehouse', I went for this design because it looked nice and it has a QWERTY keyboard that I was keen to try out. I bought the phone for £109.95 and it came with £10 credit on the phone, however, I think that the phone has came down in price now as I bought this phone in November 2009. The phone itself is black and it is very shiny which gives it a nice polished look. It has a fairly big screen on the front which has an ear piece just above it and three buttons at the ...  Read the complete review

Admittedly, I'm not the best at keeping phones in working order for a substantial period of time, (we won't discuss how I managed to wreck my last phone!). As such, the decision to bring this delicate looking piece of equipment into my life wasn't one I took lightly. Signing myself up to a 24 month T-mobile contract meant it was free at least, but also meant I would have to look after it for that long period of time. So far so good, despite a fair few collisions with the floor there aren't even any minor problems to report, never mind major ones. The phone itself is lovely and compact, slipping easily into tight pockets, but big enough so you don't lose it in ...  Read the complete review
