Advantages: Small/neat, Looks good, Handy

Disadvantages: None

When I went to buy this phone a few days ago this was the first one which caught my eye. Probably because of the size and the look of the phone compared to all the others. It's small, smart and dare I say it...cute! Once I had got home and charged it up it was time to play. I was very impressed with the blue screen and the different colours which light up in time to the polyphonic ring tones. I also liked the fact that there was a little witch on the front which said hi and bye to me...ok so it's the small things that make all the difference.

Browsing around the phone is fairly easy when you get the hang of it. I strongly recommend reading the handbook especially if you're like me and this is your first mobile phone purchase in a while! The buttons are easy to press and reach if you're just using one hand.

First things first...it's comfortable to hold when you're talking into it which is a must. It's easy to get the numbers from your phone book and even possible to do that while you're on the phone to somebody! Texting is very easy on this phone...I was firstly annoyed when I tried to write a message and different words kept appearing (mainly because I hadn't read the manual) but once I worked out the T9 ability I have been texting long messages to everyone I can think of just because I can.

There is also an organiser ability which is great for me as I'm very liable to forget things if I don't write them down. Also with an alarm means I shouldn't miss any more meetings which I'm liable to if not reminded. This also means I can never forget anybodies birthday again so no excuses! The games are also good and very addictive once you start. I would have thought that there might have been more than just three games on such a new phone but alas not.

So what else do I have to say? This phone is neat, looks good and seems to do most things except the washing up after dinner
! Shame it doesn't come with a colour screen and camera but at the reasonable price for it you can't really expect much more.

P.S. Sorry I can't comment on the WAP ability as I unfortunately can't get that service yet.
