Advantages: MP3- MUSIC!!!!!, SLEEK & CLASSY, ALL THE BASICS - USER FRIENDLY

Disadvantages: Does not support picture texting, Battery will run low on MP3 use quick., Limited memory

I've had mine for 1 and a half years, and I pretty happy. THOUGH, I have had the phone replaced TWICE! First at 6months and then again at 11 months. So I am hoping I am not going to have it replaced again. Don't let this put you off - it is a great little phone. The problems I was having with the phone were small glitches of some sort with the interface & memory. I had the phone replaced within 24hrs under the standard included 1 year guarantee (under virgin). It seems that most phones nowadays have problems anyways - Unfortunalty!
It is a very light phone 3or4 oz, and I find it very duarable. If your looking for a phone to use all the lastest ringtones and pictures then this phone does not support that. It has 20 or so stored ringtones which are quite good and quite loud, and a melody maker which I think is pointless as the volume is way to low. It has 7 games - Casino, Roulette, Blackjack, Sniper, Snake, Mole and Othello - They are all quite basic. The MP3 player does what it says - you can store about 5-8 songs on it, and the I found the set up quite simple. The only problem I find is that it does run the battery quite low - quite quickly - and the BEEP you hear while listening to music that lets you know a call is coming through is quite faint - so it can be easy to miss. Talk time is about 2hrs - so it does run out quite quicky - but i don't think that is much different from many other phones?
OTHERWISE - if your looking for a smart little phone, that not many people seem to have, with an MP3 player, alarm, calender, IrDA (use with laptops), simple texting and a whole bunch of other nice simple options that you can actually use - then you just might like this phone. It's NOT a Nokia - I recommend it.
