I was offered a choice between 6 different phones, when I renewed my contract with 02, and this was the one I decided on, as it was still quite a new phone.

As it's on contract, the phone was free to me, but at retail price, you'll pay about £120 for it.

It's a lightweight, thin, slide-up phone with a good sized screen and a large keypad (which automatically locks when you slide the phone down) ideal for those with not-so-good eyesight.

It's loaded with many different features such as, a 3 megapixel camera, which takes the most clear and perfect pictures/ videos at any angle and distance, bluetooth, radio, java world games - ideal to keep you entertained!, video calling, internet, when texting, you also have the option to put in an animation (free).

You have the option of adjusting the phone to meet your needs such as, slide up for automatic answer, speed dial and the choice of whether to take the call or divert it to answer machine etc

Also, this a good bonus, it's quad-band, it means it can be used anywhere in the world and still get an excellent signal! I should know, it's been to Spain and Scotland with me, and when I used the phone to make a call, it was so clear,- no crackling/ breaking up on the line, it was as if I was using the phone at home!

Another good idea from the Samsung makers, was to make this phone have additional memory- ideal if you're downloading tunes for example, however, if that's still not enough, for info, you can buy memory cards for about £9 for this phone which gives you about 1GB of additional spare memory!
