Advantages: low cost

Disadvantages: too many

I lost my phone recently and was not due for an upgrade with my provider for another 6 months. I was therefore looking for a cheap phone that looks good with basic funtionality. When I saw this phone for under £30.00 in tesco I thought it would be ideal. Unfortunately not. I hate it!. This phone feels cheap and plastic. Sending a text message is a nightmare. The buttons are close too close together and often when texting you cannot help but make mistakes which is annoying and frustrating. I no cant be bothered texting as it is too much effort. Making a call isnt much easier either. THere seems to be no logical way to access your contacts and the answer phone button is so small i have often pressed the wrong one and cut people off.

The radio function seems pointless and when trying the speaker phone the speaker is crackly and frustrating.

The phone I lost was a sony Erricson and I loved it. This was the reason why I bought another sony erricson model. Dont be fooled - this phone is nothing like a good sony erricson phone. There must be better options than this.

Summary: Do not buy this.
