Advantages: A variety of useful features

Disadvantages: Rubbish touchscreen

I've owned this phone for a little over 2 months now, and whilst trying to give the poor old thing a chance, I have to say I'm not overly impressed with it.

My choice of this phone was down to it being one of a limited selection available as a free upgrade. I don't use a vast number of gadgets on my phone so I chose this one to suit my needs in phoning, texting, taking pictures and being able to store a small amout of music.

Now I have to give the little mobly it's credit. It does phone people. It does text people. And it does take pictures. It is a gorgeous little sleek black number and looks very stylish out on the town with me. It's lightweight and easily fits in my pocket. But this is where the pros end.

The touchscreen is a nightmare. I can't send a text without accidentally changing my language settings at least 3 times. Calling suffers the same fate, and trying to set an alarm for the morning is beyond me.

There is a small button at the top of the phone designed to lock the touch screen so that it can't decide to do things itself while in your bag. This works too well; you can't take the blasted thing off when you want to use the phone!!

Overall this had the potential to be a great phone, but it is badly let down by the useless touchscreen technology.

Summary: Should have been a good phone, let down by the touchscreen
