Advantages: nice range of colours. Alot of feature you want in a phone, loud music player.

Disadvantages: keys crack and can become loose.

I purchased this phone in april and i had no problems with it at first. I read reviews other people with this phone wrote sayin about the keys cracking and other problems but i thought i would give it a shot also the contract deal was good and i liked to design of the phone.
After a couple months they keys did crack and the actuall phone had become slightly loose and wobbly. This doesnt effect how the phone works though.
It took me a while to figure out how to get the back off at first with out being to ruff with the phone.

It is a good phone and has bluetooth and music player, it looks nice and comes in a range of colours which is good for everyones taste. The camera is satifactory but good for a 2.0 mega pixel, except i did have some trouble in the past few months when going onto the camera, it kept sayin ''another application is running, please close that program and open this one'' but today it suddenly just randomly let me on again. The everchanging theme is really good, the wallpaper changes through the seasons and gets darker and lighter according to the time. On new years it has fireworks appear on the back ground which i find very groovey.

The music player i find is louder than my sony ericsson W810i which is a walkman.

I would recomend this phone to people but only if you dont mind either putting up with cracked keys or having to send it back to be repaired.
It has all the things you need in a phone and has fun stuff to amuse or pass time with.

Summary: good if you dont mind the need to get it repaired.
