Advantages: lots of features

Disadvantages: Now lacks many features of todays phones

This is a good mobile phone with lots of features. This mobile phone may be quite old today but it is very useful. If you are just a basic user of a phone like I am then this is as perfect for you as it is to me. It has all the basic communicating features such as calling, sms texting, WAP, voicemail, email. The keypad is very easy to use when texting, although people with bigger fingers my find it more difficult. The joystick is a huge improvement on the early Sony Ericsson phones as this one does not jam or stick and thus become redundant. There are also quick shortcut buttons to accessing the WAP, pictures and to the shortcut menu, which are handy. The screen is a decent size with great picture quality especially when you are taking pictures using the 3.2 mega pixel camera, which has a built in flash for taking photos in dark areas. The phone also has a secondary camera for video calls on the front. You can use the built in speaker when answering your calls or even listen to your music using the phone's mp3 player. It also has a radio, where you can listen to your favourite FM stations when connected to the supplied headphones. It has infra red and bluetooth connectivity for connecting to hands free headsets or other bluetooth appliances. I have used this phone for over a year and the battery life is still going strong. A fully charged battery can last on standby for over a week although lots of phone calls will drain the battery. The interface is user friendly making it easy to go through the menus and access what you want. It is a very handy phone for basic users who do not require all those high tech features on the newer more expensive phones. Originally on first release this pone would have cost a couple hundred pounds. Now you can purchase this bargain for under a hundred brand new.

Summary: decent overall phone
