Advantages: Easy to use

Disadvantages: Way outdated now

I have been using this phone for just under a year now. I got this phone off of a friend by buying him a pint as he had just upgraded his contract and so had a spare phone and mine had just broke.

I find this phone is ok for everyday use. As far as features go compared with phones around at he minute it does lack features. The 2 megapixel camera is not bad though and takes ok pictures but I only ever use these for the background on the phone and as caller ID pictures.

The battery life considering the model I have got has been used pretty much everyday for at least 2 years if not 3 by now isnt too bad. I usually find I have to charge my phone up every other day. The internet on it is quite slow and I have never even bothered trying to do a video call but the feature is there.

Many people complain about the keys being very small on this phone however don't find them too bad to use and my hands are not that small. However saying this I do hit the wrong key from time to time or will hit two at once.

The screen is ok, was good when it came out but there is certainly much better out there. This also takes M2 cards which are quite expensive compared to the more commonly used micro SD cards. The back on this phone can also be sometimes annoying and can sometimes come off as I pick up the phone and take it out of my pocket etc.

All in all this phone is ok. The model is very old in the fast moving world of phones so you can expect much else. However if you are looking for a phone to keep you going for a while or just as a back up then I would say go with it. Its fine for day to day use and easy to operate.

Summary: An easy to use phone that is ok for a backup but certainly dated now
