Advantages: Good for texts, calls and the occasional photo

Disadvantages: Internet not very good

So mine has lasted almost a year already, being a pretty active (and normally clumsy) my phones don't normally last much more than 6 months. This phone is pretty durable, mine gets dropped onto hard surfaces almost daily, has been dropped in a sink full of water, and in the mud, it may have to have a few days to dry out, but after that it works just the same as it did before.
The screen has a good resoloution, and you can't see all the pixels like you can on some of the cheaper models, and the camera will give you pretty good standard size pictures as its 3mega-pixels. At night time the flash isn't brilliant for taking pictures, but can be pretty good for using as a torch.
This phone is not the best phone for using on the internet, but if you know what the web browser address is then it will take you to the page and it will be ok to look at, it is slightely harder if you want to enter information such as user names and password etc.
The games this phone comes with are limited, and many are trial versions that you have to pay to unlock, but many just srent worth this.
The phone also has the option the close everything and go back to the main menu if you put the slide down, but this can be rater annoying if you mates think its amusing to shut your phone while your writing a text. The keyboard on this phone is rather cramped, but I have never found this a problem as i text with two hands, which is strange according to my friends. The thing i find annoying about this phone is that you have to choose the option to 'save and send' a text everytime you send one, as you cant set it to save all your sent messages automatically.
The phone can also be set to display pictures of somebody when they are calling you, and the menu's are easy to use. The MMS on this phone is also fairly easy to use as you just can send media really easily.
The phone also has a built in mp3 player, and can also play radio through the headset when connected. The mp3 player can be a bit tricky to naviage, and you will probably need an additionaly memory card if you plan to have many file on your phone as the phones memory is fairly limited. The speakers on the phone are also not very good for listening your music through, though if you loose the headset the phone comes with you may have to use them as the phone does not have a normal headphones socket.
I think that this phone has a pretty good battery life, but I charge it every other night, or I know that it will decide to turn off in the middle of a text. However if the phone did have a bigger battery it would make the phone seem alot larger, as it is fairly small and lightweight: a good pocket size.
This phone is a good phone for texts, calls and the occadional photo, but not if you want to access the internet regularly.

Summary: A very good all round phone
