Advantages: Different colours available, small and pocket sized, CUTE

Disadvantages: A girls phone surely!? :-)

WHAT A PHONE! As soon as I saw this phone I knew my search was over. My criteria, however short, (be small, be flippy, be cute)had been met, and I was in loooove.

Advantages:

This phone is small but not so small it has unmanagable buttons.

Comes in 3 different colours; lilac (which they often try to pass off as pink!), pale blue, and the limited edition orange. All very distinctive and attractive.

For me, being a flip phone (one that opens on a hinge) was essential as I have a real dislike for new version phones that simply push up leaving nothing to the imagination! There is nothing better than pretending to yourself you are uber important by walking along a busy road and answering your phone with a quick and fully visable flick (accompanied by a flick of the hair ofcourse!)

Very easy to use

Strong hinge, so doesn't feel like you're going to end up with 2 seperate parts!

People ALWAYS compliment me on my phone when I take it out! (which i often do because i crave attention!)



Disadvantages:

There is a button on the side of the phone which connects to the camera and allows pictures to be taken when the phone is closed. A nice feature when wanted but tends to go off in your pocket or bag. But then its not really a big disadvantage, just slightly annoying.

There are some silly extras to the phone such as a 'lifestyle' section for recording height / weight, calories etc, which isnt overtly interesting or useful.

When 3 alarms are set close together to go off, the last one tends not to go off!

And finally, this phone is a GIRLS phone lads! I just dont understand when I see young boys out with this phone!?? They're in girly colours, have only girly wallpapers available, and the most damning evidence......there is a section for recording YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE!!! now how many boys are going to need that?


Overall:

Excellent phone, top class. I have the phone in the limited edition orange which is nice because a lot of people have the lilac now.

ps. Sorry to any boys who do own this phone. Didnt mean to attack your manhood! (or...maybe I did hehe!)

Summary: Excellent phone with adaquete camera and good features.
