Advantages: great camera, large screen

Disadvantages: battery life, screen locked on mine

I got this phone in december 2008 on a contract .. it looked like the best phone i could get free at the time so i grabbed it with both hands! roll on may 2009 and i was packing it up ready to sell on to a phone dealer to try and get some cash for my now broken phone.

I was delighted when i first got this phone,it is quite large but has a feel of quality as its heavy enough and has a metal case. The dimensions are quite large but not compared to a iphone.

The screen is large and crystal clear with great sensitvity .. when dragging wigets around there is no lag from the processing unit and the whole operation feels smooth. Along the left hand side of the menu screen is a scrolling bar containing all your shortcuts (wigets) which is a really hand way of accessing features such as sms, camera, birthdays, and even a mirror for doing your make up (i didnt use this ;]).

The camera is 8 megapixel and takes great quality snaps .. although no camera on a phone really needs to be over 3.5mp as the rest just become redundant when printing pics. The flash is good and you will find the photo viewing software easy as you can flick through your pics with a swipe of your finger on the screen.

THe battery life on this phone is rubbish, it would often last just over a day and sometimes found myself out and about with a dead battery but for a phone with so many features i was not suppriesed by this.

So as i mentioned before .. in may 2009 my screen decided to freeze and lock up meaning i could not access anything !!! rendering it a pointless bit of metal, step in environphone who gave me £120 for it and i managed to purchase a new phone with buttons :]

Summary: nice phone if you get one that lasts
