Advantages: Sylish, Compact and Light

Disadvantages: It crashes frequently, Poor reception

I was seduced by it's looks. Stylish, sleek and compact. Just what I was looking for. Initially, the phone appeared to be OK. However, the more I started to use it the more I realised that it didn't quite live up to my high expectations.

The main problem is that the reception is very poor. I live in an area with quite bad reception anyway, but with this phone it is hopeless to even attempt to use it at home. Even when the phone says I have a signal strength of 3 out of 5 bars it fails to make a call.

The other problem I have had is that it has crashed numerous times. Removing and replacing the battery seems to clear it but it is a real pain.

My husband also had the same phone and he had problems with hearing and being heard on the phone. He managed to exchange it for another SL55 but one of the buttons just fell off. He eventually changed to a Nokia as it was so unrealiable.

I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. It is expensive for what it is and I am just pleased I managed to get it as a free upgrade rather than paying the full price.
