Advantages: Large screen, slimline, good camera, large memory

Disadvantages: over sensitive touch screen, battery life

I have had this phone now for about 8 months, and overall I would say it is pretty good. (Once you get used to the touch screen! - took a while!)

It has a large screen which is excellent for not only taking photos/videos but also viewing them. The camera itself is very easy to use and has a vast array of features to rival any digital camera. It is 5 mega pixel, which although not the best out there, is adequate. The speaker volume is loud, great for listening to tunes, and the menu options are again, quite straight forward. (If you have had any samsung phone before you will see that the basic layout etc is the same, just with added features.

One thing I do like about the menu is the 'windows vista' like way it flips when you select a new item. Very fancy! :-)

On the down side...all I can really say is that the touch screen is extremely sensitive. It is at its most annoying when you are trying to scroll down, either through messages, or in the phonebook. If you hold your finger on for a fraction too long, it will whizz to the bottom of the list, and is so fiddly to get back to where you want to be. Once you have mastered this (if you can, I still havn't after 8 months), you would have no complaints.

Apart from maybe the battery life, but generally, modern phones do not hold their charge like old ones did. I find I have to charge mine every 2 days or so.

Summary: I would recommend this little beaut!
