Advantages: all neccessary features, light and clean design, easy to use, good battery life

Disadvantages: not the greatest quality, not the most advanced technology

I'm surprised the reviews of this phone are so highly rated, because this is a very basic phone. I had a great Samsung phone but it broke after many years of use and had to get one for a cheap price. I picked this up for only £40 around year ago and it's done the job!

The first thing that stuck me was the basic screen graphics. The fonts and layouts are quite old but you do get colour and pictures, which is fine. The annoying thing about texting is that saving sent messages is not compulsary, so you cannot check you have sent something automatically. The storage is only 200 messages also, so you find you have to have a deleting session often.

I chose mine in a blue/purple and it is a very shiny, steel colour. The phone is light and slim, so great for a small handbag, but it is plastic so doesn't feel high quality.

The phone comes with headphones and radio access, so I've been listening to the radio constantly- something I could not do with my old Samsung phone sadly.

The battery life is good, when there is a low battery warning and no bars, it lasts for a surprisingly long time. I haven't yet (touch wood) found myself running totally out of battery as it gives a great warning. I've played music for hours and hours too and the battery is amazing.

The picture quality is fine, not the best but you can take decent photos and set them as your background. So far I've had no faults or strange happenings.

Overall, this phone is great for people who don't surrender to trendy, gimmicky phones and just want one that has all the features you would need and does the job well.

Summary: Does the job and does it well!
