Advantages: Innovative, sleek

Disadvantages: Too delicate

At first glimpse, this phone nifty little gadget looks like a phone-lovers dream. I certainly fell for the sleek, steel frame, the smooth sliding action and the innovative touch pad.

I worked out how to use the phone fairly quickly - it's really user friendly and has big menu icons. I love how you can change the coulour on the touch display according to your mood too (or your outfit if you like!)

However, having had it for a few months, the phone isn't all it promised to be. After a few weeks it started to look slightly worn and weary - gone was the brilliant shine. And I'm not one to go throwing my phone around carelessly.

But the most annoying thing is that the slider is really delicate and now mine kind of jumps when you push it up. The runner at the back is broken and despite having insurance, I was told this would need to be repaired which would leave me without a phone for a couple of weeks.

It's not all bad though - it's basically a good all-round phone and if you like new technology and being different then it's a great accessory. I'm just pretty disappointed that the initial wow factor and bauty of the phone soon wore of and I was left with an average mobile that needs fixing up.

For me, it was like opening up a beautifully packaged Christmas present and finding a jumper knitted by your granny inside.
