Advantages: The Croix is very nice, whats in the phone is good

Disadvantages: No downloads, Musicstation is expensive.

Ergonomically and aesthetically i thought this phone was absolutely brilliant. Everything was quick to load, and typing on the keypad was a great experience and having the option to also use the screen sold me on the phone. The camera takes decent photos considering it is a 3 MP camera, and I took over 2000 in a year on it, such was the quality. It made me leave the camera at home on many occasions. The screen is very responsive on the phone, and the Croix UI is very good looking.

However, the phone is not in the least bit customisable. There are no apps to download, the phone does not carry anything like Android or Symbian, which is a huge frustration. The organiser and the calendar are also fairly limited in terms of functionality. Musicstation - the music shop on the phone at £8 a month is similar to Spotify in terms of it is a rent rather than a purchase of songs, takes a long time to download anything and is quite outdated.

The bare bones of what you get on the phone though are very good, it's just a shame you can not add to them, apart from expensive, average games.

Summary: A nice inexpensive phone for the masses.
